Once a year, we release a Monster of a fresh hop IPA and this year’s version is unlike anything we’ve done before!
Green Monster Fresh Hop West Coast IPA
If you’re wondering what a fresh hop b**r is: think of it like cooking with fresh herbs versus dried ones. But instead of standard whole-cone or pelletized hops, we got our hands on something special. Think of lupulin as the “THC” of the hop plant, it’s where all the lush sticky resins, rich aromatic oils, and intense flavour live. CGX NUVO is pure, concentrated lupulin with a texture almost like kinetic sand, frozen right at peak harvest in the Willamette Valley to lock in raw harvest freshness.
Now why is our fresh hop b**r is dropping a little later than others?
We held out for something truly groundbreaking. We are stoked to be the 3rd brewery in CANADA (the first out west) to brew with Crosby Hops revolutionary CGX NUVO Centennial hops! To maximize that extra bit of fresh hop complexity, we layered fresh hops on both the hot side and the cold side, building deep, multi-dimensional flavour from the brewhouse all the way through dry hopping. We then paired it up with a fresh Centennial & Cascade blend from Maplebayhops on Vancouver Island.
Worth every second of the wait? Absolutely. Expect relentless fresh-hop intensity packed with sticky pine resin, bright grapefruit pith, and pure lupulin goodness.
6.7% ABV, 50 IBU
PUBLIC NOTICE: Fresh hops act like giant sponges in the tanks, and this massive hop bill drank up more than its fair share of b**r! Because our yield was lower than usual, there honestly isn’t much of this batch to go around. Cans and pints are pouring in the Tap House now, but don’t sleep on this one folks! Hop Heads, you’ve been warned!
