DDH City Pages – DDH Best IPA (7.0%) Despite our best efforts, we never got this when they were around & the first time around this beer was hitting too hard for us not to go back in. Double the word count of our Hand Selected Mosaic & Mosaic Cryo with a beautiful lot of Nelson Sauvin from New Zealand. Figured since we were the only ones voting this year, we could do the tally ourselves. Rest In Peace.
STACKING BRICKS: UNIVERSALLY PANNED – Collab w/Bricksworth NEIPA (7.2%) Our bud Tyler, The Head Brewer down at Bricksworth Beer Co. in Burnsville has been cranking out some pretty serious shredders. However, due to the way distribution laws work in Minnesota, they can’t sell any of their beers in cans or outside of their taproom. So we figured we’d have him up in an ongoing basis to put some of his favorite recipes into beer tubes. First up is “UNIVERSALLY PANNED”, a Mosaic & Strata showcase that pairs perfectly with their Detroit Style Pizzas & Wings

Chula – Mango Gose We’re excited to announce the return of 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗹𝗮, our fan-favorite summer seasonal! You can look all year long, but you won’t find a beer that turns up the heat quite like Chula. Inspired by mangonadas, the original summer refresher, this fruited Gose is brewed with Mango and a Big Mich Chile Spice Blend sourced by our friends Feast City exclusively for this release. When it comes to our beer, we brew them with passion and patience hoping that they mature into something special. Sometimes, though, we get lucky and the result exceeds our expectations by a mile.

NEW – Corporate Sellout Move IPA This is an IPA! It’s a collab with Cloudburst, in Seattle. They make great hoppy beer. They are industry vets, which plays into the name (we’ll get to that). They are the sort of small brewery that spends a ton of time doing wet hop beers, getting to know growers, learning about the business of hops, and generally just being in the loop about all things hops. It’s enlightening to talk to them, drink some of their beers, and understand that the idea that maybe IPA could look like a hazy beer but not just be a glass full of smoosh with no structure at all whatsoever.

Sprudel Kolsch Sprudel is our German-Style Kolsch. This pseudo lager/ale is technically an ale but fermented cool to create a clean character with little fruity esters that play off the crackery pilsner malt and touch of toasty Munich malt we used. Subtle noble hop character for balance at the end.
Pixel Density Our core hazy, exclusively hopped with our hand-selected Citra. Clocking in at 6.5%, this beer is a versatile, full-of-flavor, not-too-heavy, bright, pillowy hazy IPA to reach for. Oh yea, it’s a 4.1rating on UNtappd too.

Juggling Five Dbl IPA We’ve aimed at staying trippy when it comes to hops by using experimentals, playing with proportions, tweaking our hop schedules, all that jazzy stuff. We’ve come to really love a specific handful of them, so we went for a tripping FIRST and threw all FIVE of the bad boys into a DIPA. You’ll have a tropical rainforest of aromatics and notes, rounded out with a distinct crisp dryness.
Killer Kolsch A clean, crisp beer, Kölsch offers a very slight fruity flavor and aroma. It is light gold in color, with a delicate head. This light-bodied beer appeals to nearly everyone who samples it.
No Mames – mexican Style lager A crisp, clean, massively refreshing Mexican lager with subtle notes of flaked corn. Limitlessly crushable, beyond satisfying.

Stack At the Lab DDH DIPA – Equilibrium Collaboration! (8.4%) Had to catch a cab back to the lab with our buds at Equilibrium Brewery from Middleton, New York.

Slang Du Jour – Pineapple Upside down Cake We get asked to bring this one back all the time so once again we went full on Pineapple Upside Down Cake and stuffed in a ton of pineapple, cherry, brown sugar, granola, cinnamon, lactose, and vanilla beans for another one of those flavors that probably shouldn’t taste so much like the real thing but it totally does.
Chonk Strawberry/Guava/Banana/Fluff Sundae Fruit Sour Our lovable hefty boi is back and this time he’s absolutely slathered with strawberry, guava, banana, and marshmallows. Our little absolute unit is suuuuper sticky but having a great time & breathing all heavy because this combo of flavors is extra decadent and tasty as hell.
Another re-release coming from Lion Bridge as they are bringing back “Zach Morris Cellphone” on April 13th! Here are the details from Lion Bridge on this brew:
Zack Morris Cell Phone (Hazy IPA, 6.8%) – This beer is based on a mixed drink of the same name that maybe never existed. Back in days of yore, Quinton, founder of LBBC, was told by a barfly to order a ZMCP and that it contained orange. When he went to order it, the bartenders shrugged their shoulders, and the barfly had vanished. In an attempt to bring closure to this mystery, we have made a massively dry-hopped hazy IPA with orange puree and hope that it brings Quinton some peace.
Taproom opens at 3pm, available on draft and to-go packs!
Two tasty brews will be returning to Lion Bridge brewery tomorrow (March 23rd)! Peachy Keen and Me Time make their anticipated returns when the brewery doors open at 3 p.m.! Here’s more on these two beers from Lion Bridge:

Oskar Blues brewing company will start shipping their new barrel aged series nationwide starting today. Their BA20 series will kickoff with All Monde. This beer will be available in 12 oz 4 pack cans. I’m assuming this will be relatively limited to certain stops, and I’m not sure exactly who will get it, hopefully I’m wrong though the footprint is a bit wider. Chees!
Here’s more on this brew:
To make All Monde, BA20 Volume 1, the shiny new Spinbot is packed with toasted almonds and Madagascar vanilla beans. A big time imperial stout racked in bourbon barrels for nine oaky months is swirled through until the nutty and sweet flavors are maximized to their full potential. The result is a barrel aged imperial stout with the toasty almond and vanilla flavor dials turned to eleven.
