Grain in Vain

We were fortunate to participate in a project with Great Western Malt detailing every part of the malting process in Grain In Vain, from sewing seeds to seaming cans. We traveled to Idaho to see our barley growing in the fields, toured the facility where it would be malted and stored, and tracked the grains' voyage from Pocatello, Idaho, to our brewhouse in Berkeley. As well we brewed this Double IPA solely with Simcoe hops from Perrault Farms in Toppenish, Washington, and you can see all of the details that go into producing world-class grains and hops by scanning the QR code on the front of Grain In Vain's label. We're extremely pleased with how this beer showcases the quality of ingredients these farmers grow, and the result is a Double IPA with a clean, almost honey-like grain platform and an all-new Simcoe flavor profile we haven't gotten from years past; with almost Citra-like notes of lemon candies and orange zest with slightly more traditional Simcoe notes hovering in the background with wafts of white grapefruit, passionfruit, and lemongrass tea.
