New releases from OG40

Later today, The Original 40 Brewing will release Space Metal Fantasy Vol. 2, a double dry-hopped West Coast double IPA at its North Park tasting room. The brewery will also release 2 Legit 2 Wit, a Belgian-style wit with coriander and sweet orange.

Space Metal Fantasy Vol. 2 has an 8.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) and was made with Citra, Citra Incognito, Ekuanot, Amarillo and Amarillo CGX hops. It has huge, bright citrus notes on the nose with an orange and dank pine backbone. It pours a light, honey-gold color. 

“We invite beer-drinkers to not only come in and try Space Metal Fantasy Volume 2 double dry-hopped West Coast double IPA, but to say it ten times fast,” says The Original 30 Head Brewer Zack Kaplan. “This beer is a mouthful, and in a good way. It punches with hops and still finishes dry and super enjoyable.” 

Space Metal Fantasy Vol. 2 comes eight months after the September release of hazy IPA, Space Metal Fantasy Vol. 1. 

“Volume one was such a success with our fans that we had to bring it back, albeit in a different style,” says The Original 40 founder Steve Billings. “The West Coast and San Diego are known for West Coast IPAs, and we believe this will be yet another one that everyone will enjoy.” 

2 Legit 2 Wit has a 5.2% ABV and was brewed using traditional European pilsner and wheat malt, and fermented for a clean and crisp finish. The spring-time beer has big and bright aromas of orange, clove and bubble gum, and it’s rounded out with a traditional Belgian yeast character. 

“2 Legit 2 Wit was fun to hammer out in the brewery,” said Kaplan. “It’s super-drinkable and will leave you with no chance to quit on it.”
