ISM / Threes Threehugger | West Coast IPA (6.4%): A cross-coastal collab (say that three times fast) between new Long Beach favorite ISM Brewing and Brooklyn’s Threes Brewing, this beer exhibits everything needed for sitting outside in the park. Austere malt bill…check. Tropical Mosaic tones…check. Pleasant bitterness…check. Joined by Ekuanot, El Dorado and Strata hops, this IPA is a fine kickoff for sunny days around here!

Lowercase London Pilsner | Hybrid Lager (4.7%): Lowercase Brewing’s London Lager series ‒ in conjunction with Machine House, a UK-focused brewery in the selfsame city of Seattle ‒ explores the “what if?” notion of bottom-fermented beers with ingredients from the Isles. This seventh (and sadly, final) iteration ramps up the hopping to Pilsner niveaus. The Simpsons malt is really evident, with those biscuity, wicker-chair traits characteristic of so many English beers, while East Kent Golding and Whitbread Golding hops impart a fine herbal-tea top note.

Fremont POG Gose | Fruited Gose (4.5%): The Gose has come a long way from its Leipzig origins! It is no secret that saltiness and citrus go well together ‒ it was only a matter of time before craft brewers began dosing these gently tart low-ABV (alcohol-by-volume) beers with various fruits. With the immortal trilogy of passionfruit, orange and guava, Fremont Brewing has a summer refresher ready to go!
