Against the Grain Brewery (Louisville, Kentucky)

“This iconic double IPA is not candy or mother’s milk. It is not brewed by gypsies or aliens, nor does it contain any zombie dirt. This is a double IPA brewed with Citra Hops. It’s sticky, hoppy and delicious. Simply drink it and enjoy it. Don’t hoard this beer, Citra Ass Down and drink it now.”

“For our 2nd release in the Monsters & Myths DIPA Series, we celebrate the big-footed ‘hide-and-seek world champion’ with a mighty, hop-forward West Coast Double IPA. Jacked ‘Squatch is packed with a beastly amount of Citra, Centennial, Simcoe & Vic Secret hops for an aromatic blend of citrus, peach, pine, and tropical fruit.”

Southwest
Weathered Souls Brewing Co. (San Antonio, Texas)
West Coast IPA (American India Pale Ale); 7%; 16oz can
“The de facto flagship beer of our lineup, our West Coast IPA pays homage to Marcus’ old school California origins with some Texas-persuaded adaptations. Abandoning the darker, sometimes egregiously sweet copper colored malt bombs that made up the gold standard of IPAs from the mid-to-late 90s to the early 2000s, our West Coast is leading the IPA reformation in San Antonio with a dry, crisp, and citrus forward profile, outselling all other craft IPAs in the region three-to-one. A bursting bouquet of tangerine, lemon, grapefruit, and other bright citrus aromatics leads the charge with just enough residual malt sugars to offer a modest body and balance out a moderate level of IBUs. A light cereal-like malt sweetness lifts the overall hop profile without getting in the way of the ballet of resinous, piney, and citrus characters that make up the bulk of the flavor profile. This modern classic is the archetype of the new age West Coast IPA.”

New England
Lamplighter Brewing Co. (Cambridge, Massachusetts)
Rabbit Rabbit (New England Double IPA), 8.5%
