Then Sierra Nevada does what they do and saved us all a lot of work by putting out an excellent example of the style that’s fairly easy to find. I KNOW! I haven’t had one that I didn’t like, and now they are my go-to beer order when I see them.įor a hot minute they were almost impossible to find. It’s all sparkle and hops, no sweetness or heavy flavors. It has almost none of the sweetness usually found in the malt flavors of a beer, and the hops are present but not overpowering.
I’ll save you the beer nerd talk (but if you want that, Beer & Brewing does a great job of explaining it) and just tell you that it’s a bone dry IPA with almost no malt character at all, and it finishes with a sparkling, effervescent champagne-like finish.
What is a Brut IPA, you ask? Great questions. You need to go out and drink yourself a Brut IPA, because it’s your new favorite beer that you haven’t had yet. I have something you need to add to your list, it’s very important. You know the one, the list of things you need to do.
