MEBC’s tandem IPA release
Vista's Mother Earth Brew Co. releases, not one, but two new IPAs, including a fresh-hop freshie and the latest hazy in its art-driven series
Mother Earth Brew Co. is proud to announce the release of two new limited-time offerings: Fresh as it Gets fresh-hop IPA and the latest installment of their Project X Series,
Mystical Misfit.
Fresh as it Gets is crafted with freshly harvested Simcoe hops and celebrates the fleeting magic of fresh hop season, showcasing one of the industry’s most beloved varietals at the peak of its character by bringing a signature flavor profile that balances vibrant citrus zest with ripe stone fruit and a subtle undertone of pine. The result is a bold yet balanced IPA with juicy aromas of passionfruit and apricot, a crisp citrus bite, and just the right touch of earthy resin to keep hop lovers coming back for more. It’s a recipe that has already proven itself on the national stage as a Great American Beer Festival award-winner. Now reimagined with the once-a-year freshness of just-picked Simcoe hops, this beer delivers an unparalleled drinking experience that truly lives up to its name.
“I think what makes our fresh hop beers unique is the proximity to the hop fields. We can have the hops in the kettle in under an hour, hence the name.” said Mother Earth Brewmaster Chris Baker. “Getting it from harvest to the brewhouse is huge in minimizing oxidation and really getting the full expression of the raw ingredient with minimal processing.”
Coinciding with its clearer cousin, Mystical Misfit is Mother Earth’s next rotating hazy IPA and adds Galaxy and Nelson hops to the Simcoe party for a powerhouse trifecta that is sure to impress. Imagined and brought to life by digital artist, Emerald Bay, it’s candy for your eyes as much as your other senses.
Fresh as it Gets and Mystical Misfit will begin rolling out through the rest of September and October in limited quantities at Mother Earth’s tap rooms and its distribution network in 16oz cans and on draft. Fans are encouraged to grab it while they can, using their beer finder at motherearthbrewco.com. Don’t forget about Mother Earth’s Fresh Hop Party at the company’s Vista tasting room on October 18, which will feature Fresh as it Gets in addition to several other small batch fresh hop brews. It’s a celebration of all things fresh hop beer season.
