Two new brews at The Original 40

The Original 40 Brewing will release Small Worlds West Coast IPA (WCIPA) and Way Up West Coast Cold IPA on Friday, August 25. Both beers will be available on draft and in four packs of 16-ounce cans at the North Park brewpub.

Small Worlds is double dry-hopped with El Dorado, Mosaic and Simcoe hops. It has a 7% alcohol-by-volume (ABV) and flavors of peach and stone fruit. Way Up, which was fermented with lager yeast at a higher temperature, has a 6.6% ABV and aromas of pine and citrus.

“You can never have enough West Coast IPAs in The Capital of Craft,” says Head Brewer Zack Kaplan. “After all, the local craft-beer community is known for them. Small Worlds is nice and dry, as well as crisp. Meanwhile, Way Up showcases the holy trinity of Mosaic, Simcoe and Citra hops. It is bursting with flavor and is truly crushable.”

With the addition of the two beers, Original 40’s on-tap menu includes seven different IPAs: Can We Kick It? (WCIPA), Disco Dove (double hazy IPA), Juice Maze (hazy), Space Metal Fantasy Vol. 2 (double WCIPA) and Westerly Flow (WCIPA).

“It’s fun to just turn Zack loose and have him push the boundaries of all IPA styles,” says The Original 40 founder Steve Billings. “We hope beer connoisseurs and casual beer drinkers alike will come by and try Zack’s creations in the heart of North Park.”
