Roadhouse Brewing Partners with Half Acre on Interstellar Kush IPA
In time for the holiday season ahead, the Kush Series returns from Jackson Hole, Wyoming’s Roadhouse Brewing Co. On its latest release of the series, the brewery has partnered with Half Acre Beer Company, an award-winning brewery based in Chicago, Illinois, on Interstellar Kush IPA.
This interdimensional IPA marks the sixth release in Roadhouse’s coveted Kush series, which celebrates the exploration of unique and experimental hops alongside like-minded, award-winning breweries from across the country.
“We are very excited to introduce Interstellar Kush,” says Gavin Fine, co-founder of Roadhouse Brewing Co. “It has been a delight to team up with Half Acre, a pioneering brewery in my hometown, Chicago, who shares our enthusiasm for groundbreaking, hop-forward beers. Each release in our Kush series pushes the envelope in hop innovation and through a creative combination of top quality hops, this Tetons meets Midwest collab does just that.”
Interstellar Kush IPA is brewed with the highest quality hops from the Pacific Northwest that includes Strata, Talus, Cascade, Krush (formerly HBC 586) and HBC 1019. This IPA bursts with fruity aromas of ripe berry and juicy peach ring, accompanied by earthy and dank notes while sitting at 7% ABV.
“Roadhouse and Half Acre work together through industry organizations focusing on hops, so it was a match made in heaven for us to come together and brew with some of our favorite hops both old and new to each of us. Being a Chicago kid myself, Half Acre’s Daisy Cutter was one of the first craft beers I fell in love with, so coming full circle to work on this collaboration has been a dream come true,” notes Pure Madness Brewmaster Max Shafer.
Stay tuned for additional releases from Roadhouse’s Kush series. Past collaborations in the series have included Athens, GA’s Creature Comforts Brewing (Cosmic Kush); Salt Lake City’s Templin Family Brewing (Superdelic Kush); Colorado’s Odell Brewing (Sublime Kush); and most recently, Vista, CA and Nampa, ID’s Mother Earth Brewing Company (Surreal Kush), each of which celebrates the use of new + experimental hops.
Interstellar Kush IPA will be available on draft and in 16-ounce cans throughout Roadhouse and Half Acre’s distribution territories. To locate Interstellar Kush IPA, utilize the the Roadhouse Beer Finder.
