Sierra Nevada - California, USA
The name Ken Grossman has become synonymous with ‘craft beer’ since he kicked off his commercial brewery, Sierra Nevada, in the 1980s. His signature Pale Ale took the world by storm, defining the American version of the style, then along came Bigfoot (a 10% malt forward Barleywine-style ale) and the USA’s first wet hop beer, Harvest Ale. These beers were regarded then, and they’re still regarded now. Sierra Nevada was a trail blazing brewery that hasn’t slowed down and has become a favourite of new and veteran beer consumers.

Dogfish Head - Delaware, USA
Upon opening in 1995, the Dogfish Head brewpub was the smallest of its kind in America and has grown to be one of the largest and most prolific. Founder Sam Calagione has, literally, written the book…well books…on the business and art of brewing. Using an electric football game and inspired by the way he saw a soup being seasoned on TV, Sam’s 90-Minute IPA was the first the utilize the continuous hopping technique allowing for a surge of hop aroma and balanced bitterness and all us IPA drinkers have been grateful ever since.



Other Half (NY, USA) • Traced

Hazy DIPA | 8.0% | 473ml
Drinkability: Savour

Get ready for a hop bomb! Using Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy T-90 and Ekuanot Cryo meaning less green and more mean aromas. Ultimate hoptimization!

Other Half - New York, USA
Other Half are the brewery equivalent of the movie ‘Jaws’, not only are they absolute IPA sharks but visit their Brooklyn brewery and you’ll see blockbuster lines of eager drinkers waiting to get a sip of their newest hoppy nectar. You may see ‘DDH IPA’ on cans everywhere these days but Other Half are credited as being the first to slap those six letters on their label. With locations now in New York, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia, a huge social media following and over 1000 beers brewed since they opened in 2014, they have truly solidified a brilliant reputation in the global beer scene.
