Hop Head Night @ Lompoc Sidebar

The sun is shining and we couldn’t be happier! Even better, this Friday and Saturday at Sidebar is Hop Head Night. We’ll be turning over the Sidebar taps to a celebration of lupulin indulgence! The lineup includes Peregrine Imperial IPA, a hop bomb that pours a medium orange color with a hoppy aroma reminiscent of tropical fruit and pine needles. Its flavor is massively hoppy but balanced by Golden Promise, Crystal and Aromatic malts; C-Son’s Greetings, our holiday Imperial IPA brewed and dry-hopped with all seven “C” hops (Crystal, Cluster, Cascade, Chinook, Centennial, Columbus and Challenger) for a full hop flavor. It’s deep copper in color with a piney, citrusy, floral and resinous aroma to complement its rich caramel malt finish and endless developing hop presence; Genesis IPA – In the beginning there was only…..IPA. The first beer ever brewed on Lompoc’s new brew system, Genesis has a copper color, slight bitterness and hoppy aroma; Centennial IPA, a classic Northwest IPA brewed with Crystal malts that give it a rich golden color. Centennial hops provide a floral nose and sharp bitter finish; Kick Axe Dry Hopped Pale Ale, our tribute to the Timber’s Army. This crisp, easy drinking pale ale was dry-hopped in the fermenter with Cascades giving off a huge hop aroma; and finally, C-Note Imperial Pale Ale – to call this beer hoppy would be an understatement. It’s brewed with the seven “C” hops and pushes the bitterness limit to 100 International Bitterness Units. Sidebar is open Friday 4-10 pm and Saturday, 2-10 pm and is located at 3901 N Williams, just past Pix Patisserie.
