Got a Cold IPA collaboration out there for you to find, Pizza Port and Topa Topa have created EnSea.
Peer on the Pier
Usually when I post anything regarding Pizza Port, it revolves around the IPA or the pizza. But they can and do other styles such as the Czech-Style pils going by the rhyming name of Pier Beer.
Sunny Pils
Two words, not one for Pizza Port’s newest release, “Sun Sets is a Pilsner hopped with New Zealand hop varietals of Motueka and Nelson. This NZ-style Pilsner is also brewed with Phantasm, a grape musk from New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc grapes.”
Looking like a hoppy pilsner summer on the way.
NamiPA
For the fourth year running, Pizza Port has combo’d with Pure Project on a beer and for 2022 that beer is Nami. An IPA, which you probably already guessed. What struck me was how pretty the label was, that Japanese inspired blue ocean is very cool.
A Full Pint Breakfast
Time to show some love to the fellow beer writers over at the Full Pint, they have riffed on the famous Bacon and Eggs beer with…
“Sausage & Grits was brewed in collaboration with The Full Pint and Pizza Port Carlsbad. This elegant Coffee Porter at 6.5% ABV boasts flavors and aromas of perfectly roasted coffee, chocolate and caramel. Sausage & Grits features the “Daybreak Blend” from Steady State Roasting. This blend consists of Brazil and Colombian varietals.”
Cali Colsch
It would probably make citizens of Cologne gasp but of course, California has hopped up the traditional Kolsch style if beer. And it should not be surprising that it was Pizza Port and Alvarado Street doing the deed.
LFG
Put another Pink Boots beer on your radar, Pizza Port has….
That’s right, Let’s Go and get a 4-pack of pale ale.
Review – Beach Run IPA from AleSmith and Pizza Port
More goodies came from AleSmith recently so it is time to take a walk on the beach, I am not one for running.
This time Pizza Port was brought in to partner on Beach Run IPA.
This DDH IPA has Enigma, Cashmere and Sabro hops an pours a bright lustrous yellow. And it does pack a bitterness punch. I get a little bit of catty, a little bit of fruit punch and a little bit of pine as well. No coconut from the Sabro which I usually get. There is a bit of alcohol heat as well which is kinda weird for a beer below 7% ABV. It is smack dab in classic pre-2010 West Coast IPA territory.
The next AleSmith collab IPA will be with Revision Brewing, Split Aces in a red checked can.
Where and When
Speaking of beer travel, sometimes you need to be flexible and Pizza Port has us covered.
“A simple grain bill of 2-Row allows the hop character to shine through in this bright, golden West Coast style IPA. Aromas of mango, lychee and guava lead to flavors of bright citrus and subtle berry notes thanks to the use of Citra and experimental hop HBC 586. This beer has mild bitterness and a clean, dry finish.”
