EUGENE, Ore.—July 21, 2016—Ninkasi Brewing Company
announces
Hop Cooler Citrus IPA to join its year-round Flagship Series. Starting August 22, Hop Cooler will be available in 12oz. 6-packs, 22oz. bottles, and on-draft across the brewery’s distribution territory.
Hop
Cooler made its debut this past January as part of Ninkasi’s Special
Release Series. “We worked hard on this recipe to craft a super juicy
beer,” explains
Jamie Floyd, Ninkasi founding brewer and co-founder. “Combining four
powerhouse hops and real orange and tangerine peel, we were able to
achieve an IPA that perfectly accomplishes what we set out to do; like
many of our fans, I can’t stop ordering it.”
Brewed
with sweet orange and tangerine peel, Hop Cooler is a flavorful balance
of juicy citrus and an assertive hop bitterness. “This one’s gorgeous
in terms
of execution,” says John Holl, All About Beer editor. “The core hop
bitterness steers things, but quickly opens up into expansive layers of
grassy, dense citrus: Orange peel, pulpy grapefruit, sweet lemon.”
To
promote the release of Hop Cooler to a year-round offering, Ninkasi
introduces an exclusive Hop Cooler tap handle featured wherever the beer
will be poured
on-draft.
Hop
Cooler joins Ninkasi’s Flagship Series as its eighth year-round beer.
“The Flagship Series offers a full spectrum of beers for all beer
drinkers to enjoy,”
says Floyd. Included in the Flagship Series lineup are Total Domination
IPA, Easy Way IPA, Dawn of the Red IPA, Tricerahops Double IPA, Oatis
Oatmeal Stout, Vanilla Oatis Oatmeal Stout, and Helles Belles Lager.
