Aslan Brewing, in Bellingham, Washington, wants to reward those who enjoy drinking Hazy India Pale Ales with their new Cosmic Dreams.
Those of you who count yourself an outsider, to this “haze craze” will no doubt question whether this beer is for you. The actual answer is, who knows. But one thing is for sure, non-IPA drinkers, who favor Pale Ales over IPA have fallen in love with Hazy India Pale Ales. Which makes Aslan’s latest Hazy IPA, Cosmic Dreams, an exciting option for Hazy IPA AND India Pale Ale lovers.
Released with notes of zesty tangerines, mandarin, and navel orange juices; Cosmic Dreams following the footprints of their ever-popular Batch 15. Those familiar with Batch 15 will recognize the characteristic dry, bitterness, and precise hop character owing to hops Pacific Gem, Amarillo, El Dorado, & Simcoe.
First released in 2017, as a one-off India Pale Ale, available on draught, Cosmic Dreams later matured into Special Release No. 1, in 2018. Their first non-flagship release to be portable in cans, Cosmic Dreams Hazy IPA joins Batch 15, Dawn Patrol and other classics made available all year.
At 6.0% ABV (alcohol by volume), the brewers and ownership are excited to welcome their newest flagship beer to the family. Look for Cosmic Dreams, like Aslan’s other flagships beers, to be available in Washington, Oregon, California, and British Columbia.
About Aslan Brewing Company
IT ALL STARTED IN THE SUMMER OF 2012, as a conversation over a pint of beer at a local Bellingham pub. We shared our dreams and soon realized that the elements of our future were sitting amongst us: a businessman, a craft beer believer and, most importantly, a brewer. Together, Frank Trosset, Pat Haynes, and Jack Lamb would go on to build and operate a pilot brewery in Downtown Bellingham, where, for the next twelve months of our lives, we would research and develop the knowledge and skills needed to start our own commercial microbrewery and restaurant.
We called it ASLAN BREWING COMPANY, and quickly realized its identity through our personal commonalities. With a commitment to organic ingredients, locally sourced goods, and low-impact practices, we aimed to offer the community something new and refreshing, the sustainable way. As for “ASLAN”: a lion is the King of the Jungle, a regal figure rooted in nature, and aslan is the Turkish word for lion. This aligned our desire to operate a world-class brewery all while preserving the raw and exotic elements of the world. Through hard work and perseverance, we brewed over 130 original pilot batches, connected with local brewers and beer lovers alike, and designed a business plan catered to craft quality and creativity.
In the final days of Summer 2013, we were given the keys to what would become Aslan’s Brewpub. Plans and permits in hand, we began our nine-month journey into construction that was done primarily by us, Boe and Don Trosset. After months of unconditional commitment, Boe Trosset was added as an invaluable member of the ownership team. Fast forward to today and we are four great friends who have together manifested our dream of owning and operating an organic brewery. We are proud and fortunate to be working with many of our close friends and to be part of the amazing community that is Bellingham.
CHEERS TO LOCAL BEERS!
