Belt’s Beer Garden: Hot as Hel(ton)
Brian Helton opened up Helton Brewing Company back in 2014 and has now been working in the industry for well over 20 years. The brewery, located in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, offers six year round brews, with their Boysenberry Sour being one of their most well-known and sought after beers.
While I couldn’t get my hands on that fruited sour, I was able to find one of their two year round IPAs. Today I have their Northeast IPA. This hazy IPA was brewed with two types of malt (wheat and barley), an English yeast strain, and a pair of hops (Belma and Citra). A pack of four 16-ounce cans costs about $15 and each pint has an ABV of 6.2% and 50 IBU.
