Two new India Pale Ales await you, this Friday, June 4th.

With the temperatures floating around between the 70s and 90s, it’s easy to daydream about backyard barbecues, afternoon strolls in the park, and of course what beer goes best with all of that! That’s where Lucky Envelope Brewing Company comes in. 

Located in Seattle’s historic Ballard neighborhood hood, in the “Ballard Brewery Blocks”, Lucky 

Envelope has two fresh releases this Friday, June 4th. Naturally, they are India Pale Ales. 

Northwest IPA

Brewed with their favorite hops, Centennial and Cascade, the beer is homage to OG IPAs of old. Avoiding the title of “over the hill”, the brewers added Citra hops, to give it some cool racing stripes. The result is a beer that has notes of lime popsicle, geraniums, and lychee. 

South African Juicy IPA

Another IPA, Lucky Envelope used hops Southern Passion, Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo Cryo. The result is an India Pale Ale that has a “juice-like mouthfeel” with notes of red raspberry. The first beer in the ENIAC Series, look for this to be released this Friday as well.

About Lucky Envelope Brewing

…

Lucky Envelope’s brewing philosophy is centered around “Culturally Inspired Beer” whose recipes draw from modern and historic brewing styles and techniques. In addition, Lucky Envelope also uses both traditional and non-traditional ingredients in our beers which range from traditional IPAs (ENIAC Mosaic IPA), to German-style lagers (Helles Lager), to seasonal favorites like our Two Pepper Pale Ale (Habanero & Shishito peppers) and Peanut Butter Cream Stout.

The name Lucky Envelope comes from the Chinese tradition of the elderly generation giving the younger generation red envelopes filled with paper money. The color red is meant to ward off evil spirits and bring good health, while the money inside is supposed to bring prosperity. The Mandarin word for the envelope “hongbao” translates to red pouch while the Cantonese word for the envelope “laisee” translates to lucky money. Many refer to the envelopes as red envelope, or Lucky Envelope. For Barry and Ray, lucky envelopes bring back good memories whether it was a Chinese New Year celebration, graduating from school, or celebrating a life milestone.
