Modern L IPA 5%

What's a L IPA you ask? We like to call these 5% IPAs we brew LiePAs, cause a 5% IPA is a lie. IPA really needs to be at least 6%. However we brew these LiePAs to drink much bigger than their ABV. Meticulous attention to all aspects of the brewing process and a hop load closer to that of a 7% beer delivers explosive aroma and flavor as well as a bigger mouthfeel than any other 5% IPA you've ever had. A blend of our favorite hops from the Pacific Northwest and Southern Hemisphere brings out modern fruit forward flavors and aromas with a touch of that classic resin. . This beer exemplifies our dedication to hops and pushing the boundaries of what you thought a 5% hoppy beer could smell and taste like

Laser Kiwi

NZ L IPA 5%

The hops we have from New Zealand right now might be the best hops we've experienced in a long time. We add them to a lot of our beers but we thought why not brew a 5% L IPA with nothing but NZ grown varieties. Laser Kiwi utilizes a blend of Nelson and Egger’s Riwaka on the hotside and is then dry hopped with copious amounts of Freestyle Nectaron, Nelson, and that same early harvest Egger’s Riwaka. This is our most highly hopped L IPA and the hop expression is nothing short of amazing. There’s an explosion of exotic tropical fruit, white wine, and that signature NZ high terpene, almost diesel like character that keep you coming back for more. These hops are truly special and this beer does a great job of showcasing that saturated, true-to- type hop character in a surprisingly drinkable package.

Hops: Nectaron, Nelson, Eggers Riwaka

Centennial

Single Hop Pale Ale 5%

I know what yer thinking! Centennial? Really? That’s a total Dad hop! What happened to the exotic hops with just numbers for names? If I wanted Centennial hops in a beer I’d go to the liquor store and buy some malty IPA from the Midwest. Well… while you’re not wrong just here us out. Yes Centennial is a classic hop that was first released 35 years ago. Yes it’s the backbone of so many classic “old school” IPAs that laid the groundwork for American Craft Beer. However it’s also one of the most amazing hops out there. It’s higher in so many aromatic compounds than almost all hops on the market. The issue with Centennial is you usually only experience it in these classic hoppy beers that also have a bunch of crystal malt in them. That crystal malt speeds up the oxidative reaction so a lot of what you think Centennial might taste/smell like is actually just old/oxidized IPA and not the hop itself. Our tried and true Single Hop Pale Ale recipe contains virtually no crystal malt and does an awesome job of really showcasing the amazing properties of this hop. We gets tons of high citrus notes on the nose. It’s a very terpy/floral lemon/yuzu note with some what I like to think of as strawberry skin. Not the juicy/candy like aspect of a strawberry but more the seedy outer parts of the strawberry. The flavor follows but this is where the pine comes into play. It’s really fun beer that’s incredibly bright with tons of hop character that never weighs on the palate.

Glossy

Modern Citra IPA 6.5%

Glossy is our “house” 6.5% IPA built around the most popular hop on the planet, Citra,. We’re constantly tweaking this beer to try to find the combo that really brings out the best parts of Citra. This particular batch of Glossy explores the dank side of Citra. Whirlpool additions of Ekuanot cryo paired with Garston Rakau and a more herbal-forward lot of Citra in the dry hop combine to deliver a unique batch of Glossy that’s much more dank/resinous than what we usually offer.

Hops: Citra T90, Ekuanot Cryo, Garston Rakau

Modern Double IPA 8%

We brew Dopo Dopo once a year to celebrate the start of winter. I was thinking our timing would be a little late this year but since we’ve only had winter for two days now looks like our timing wasn’t actually that bad. Last year’s batch was honestly a step back for this beer. Fortunately we had a year before brewing it again and we’ve learned a lot in those 12 months. This year’s batch does a better job of capturing the essence of Dopo in Double IPA form. Copious amounts of Mosaic in both T90 and Terpene format are coupled with some of that awesome Garston Nelson and some Eggers Special in the Dry Hop. Lots of tropical fruit character paired with that signature dankness you love in Dopo.

Hops: Mosaic T90, Mosaic Lupocore, Mosaic Quantum Brite, Eggers Special, Nelson

Phone It In: Galaxy/Nelson

Modern IPA 6.7%

Phone It In, our series of 6.7% IPAs that combine two of our favorite hops, is back. We rebrewed Galaxy/Nelson which we haven’t brewed in 2 years. This batch features some special hops. Galaxy has notoriously been not so bueno over the last 5 or 6 years and honestly we’ve been scared to use it. However HPA has been laser focused on getting this hop back to the flavor and aroma it had it its heyday (think 2012-2018). We were fortunate to score some of the 3 highest sensory rated lots of 24 Galaxy that are in the country right now and we used one of them in this. Not only that but we also used a ton of Nelson from our buds at Garston Hops. Their farm is situated 600 miles farther south than the typical hop growing region of NZ and creates some flavor and aromas not normally found in varieties grown further north. This one is packed with very dense hop character and for all you haze hounds, it’s hazy AF! (You can thank Galaxy for that)

Hops: Galaxy, Eggers Nelson, Garston Nelson
