First in the New Belgium Up Next Series: Brut IPA
Tapping into New Belgium Brewing’s tradition of innovation by offering easy-drinking, unique, and flavor-blending beers, they bring you the Up Next Series. Their new Brut IPA reflects the evolving trends in food and drink by offering a bubbly and effervescent brew. What could be better to ring in the New Year?
The first beer in the Up Next Series, this Brut IPA was inspired by sparkling wine and New Belgium’s partner, Dick Cantwell’s foray into brewing the style at sister brewery, Magnolia Brewing, in San Francisco. This Brut IPA pours a bright, bubbly, platinum blonde featuring a white grape and tropical aroma and a refreshingly dry finish. Not a fan of traditional IPAs? This Brut is the perfect alternative to hazy, hoppy, and fruit-forward IPAs.
“The IPA drinker is constantly on the lookout for fresh, new flavors and that’s really inspiring for a brewer. San Francisco has been ground zero for development of Brut beers and it’s been a lot of fun bouncing ideas off the team out there. Our Brut IPA mashes wine notes with a beer backbone that delivers the best of both traditions. This beer will take you through the holidays and beyond – it makes a great beer-mosa as well.”
Ross Koenigs, New Belgium Research & Development Brewer
The Up Next Series
The Up Next Series will feature new flavors that will rotate quarterly throughout 2019. Future offerings promise to push the boundaries of more traditional beer style definitions which will give micro and often regionalized beer trends national exposure. Think of blending trending flavors with seasonality.
“People are looking for beverages that blur the lines and break new ground. With Fat Tire, New Belgium helped turn a generation of beer drinkers onto craft. We want to keep bringing new drinkers into craft beer with flavors that take inspiration from outside the category. The only limit is our imagination.”
Ross Koenigs, New Belgium Research & Development Brewer
The Up Next Series Brut IPA is available nationally, in both bottle and draft, while supplies last.
