The cold IPA is the merging of two beloved styles of beer, the Pilsner and IPA. In this iteration of our cold IPA series, we have featured our favorite new hop, Talus. This beer is bursting with aroma all while exhibiting the backbone of a lager. Similar to a west coast IPA, the cold IPA seeks to highlight the Northwest’s finest hops while bringing in some recruitments from other countries. True to this adjunct-heavy style, we used malted rice to create a clean finish. Cheers!
