India Pale Ales have taken the world by storm with the craft beer revolution, and we understand why!
This type of beer has been around for a while though, originating in the 1800s as beer would be heavily-hopped to be shipped to India and condition during the ship journey.
Today, IPA is one of the most popular styles of beer in the UK, and they are usually very hoppy beers, full of flavour, often slightly bitter. New types of IPAs are constantly emerging, including double IPA (DIPA), triple IPA (TIPA), DDH IPA, Brut IPA… And some are characteristic of where their style originally started, like West Coast IPA, New England IPA (NEIPA), or East Coast IPA…

Word on the street is, California knows how to party.
Lowtide thought they’d take a page out of their book and throw a party of their own - in a can.
They invited their best friends, Eukanot, Citra & Azacca, and introduced them to Vienna Malt, Windor Yeast, and a few others to see what would happen.
Needless to say, it popped off.
West Coast Hop Lock is a perfectly balanced pale ale loaded with heavy hoppy aromas that leave you with a subtle but lingering bitterness.
Reminiscent of the good ol’ days, this pale is the party we didn’t know we needed, but we all certainly deserve.
