Neshaminy Creek Brewing recently teamed with The GIANT Company on the release of “One GIANT Coast”.
The collaboration between the two teams resulted in “One GIANT Coast”, a new 8.5% east-meets-west coast DDH Double IPA.
One GIANT Coast is a collision of ideas combining notes of West Coast Imperial IPAs – big, resinous, and crisp with bright citrus fruit character – with the brewery’s favorite attributes of East Coast Hazy IPAs – juicy, tropical notes, and soft-as-clouds mouthfeel.
Brewed with Apollo, Chinook, Citra, Idaho 7, and the experimental hop, HBC630, this beer embodies the best of both worlds with hints of strawberry, banana, and grapefruit.
“I was really excited about the opportunity to create a new IPA with the folks at Giant, showcasing our best hops. We wanted to make a double IPA, around 8.5%, which I believe is the best canvas for showing off hops. I love hop flavor and my leanings are definitely West Coast….clean, crisp, resinous. I was really excited to finally use HBC630, an experimental hop variety from Yakima Chief that has loads of sweet fruit character with notes of Strawberry, Banana and Cotton Candy. When I was out for hop selection in Yakima last fall, I had the absolute pleasure of smelling Idaho 7 in the field and thought this would be the perfect combo….Idaho 7’s juicy stone fruit and sticky, resinous pine notes with the sweet fruitiness of HBC630. What a pleasure to be able to combine the best of both worlds.” – Jason Ranck, Head Brewer of Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company
This beer will launch in 4-packs of 16oz cans this Friday, March 18th, exclusively at the 130 GIANT supermarket locations throughout Pennsylvania. Neshaminy Creek will have limited four-packs and pours at all 3 of their locations as well.
