Confluence “Batch 2199” Hazy Double IPA releasing this Friday! 4/18

Leave a comment

Taproom release on Friday, 4/18!

Batch 2199,
Hazy Double India Pale Ale
9.0% ABV

Our company was built on the ingenuity of a homebrewer with a passion for experimentation and a deep appreciation for tradition. Near the end of 2018, we released our 1,000th batch of beer and our first hazy double IPA. Since we had such a great time with that beer, we decided we didn’t need a fancy number like 1,000 to justify playing around with hops, malt, and yeast—like we were homebrewing again. A yeast strain designed to maximize the amount of fruit-forward flavors and aromas produces this double dry-hopped, hazy, blond, double IPA packed with Mosaic, Erebus and Belma hops. Look for these hops to contribute bright aromas and layered flavors of candied blueberries, fresh strawberries, sweet orange and ripe melon, all wrapped up in a sticky malty body with a soft mouthfeel.

Enjoy a glass in the taproom and don’t forget to grab a 4-pack!
