This week I sample two beers from an emerging style - Brut IPAs. They’re like a combination of beer and champagne so it’s perfect for anyone that loves booze and beer.
First up, a California behemoth’s attempt at the fad.
Everyone probably knows about Sierra Nevada, one of the original OGs of the beer world. The Chico, California brewery began back in 1980 and has grown to become the third largest craft brewery in the US and has even opened up a second location across the country in Mills River, North Carolina.
They recently released a Brut IPA which is brewed with Comet, Chinook, Crystal, and Simcoe hops and three malt varieties.
