This IPA goes out to our bestest friend (unbeknownst to him) – Kyle Mooney. Kyle is super funny, and talented, and kinda good looking(?) – but week after week, his digital content on SNL gets cut for time and bumped off the show, only to live a quieter life in the corners of the interwebs. NOT COOL, LORNE. NOT COOL. But we were thinking, Amarillo is basically the Kyle Mooney of hops. It’s versatile, and fruity, and bold…but it’s just not as FIRE EMOJI as Strata, and Mosaic, and Citra, and Simcoe – despite it being the buzzy IPA hop before them. And sure, the variety was bungled in the early ‘10s –  it’s acreage was expanded too fast, and often it was picked too late, and brewers started moving away from it and using newer, brighter, more reliable hop varieties. But then something happened…it started getting GOOD again. Talk about a rebound! SWISH! Of late, we’ve been stoked on some lots from Roy Farms and Crosby Hop Farm, and this beer includes two lots from the latter. It also includes some Amarillo Hash – a high oil/lupulin product – for an extra ZIP. The end result are big notes of pineapple & tangerine, with a kiss of Sativa in the finish for those that like HEADY DANK NUGZ. So yeah, this beer goes out to all the work and all the hops that show up to play and often get overlooked. To all the dreamers, and to all the teachers, and to all the…
