SUMMER IPA IDEAS
Grapefruit Sculpin
7,0% ABV - 70 IBU
Ballast Point Brewing, out of San Diego, is one of the most recognized breweries
in the craft beer industry. They have dominated the scene with their ‘Sculpin IPA’,
but have a new twist on this classic. Relying heavily the magnificent flavors of
Florida grapefruits, the Grapefruit Sculpin IPA is a perfect blend of classic American hops and robust Florida grapefruit. Easy to drink and easily as good as the
original Sculpin. Brew a clone of this beer for all those sunny summer evenings!

Sip of Sunshine
8,0% ABV - 85 IBU
Lawson’s Finest Liquids. What more needs to be said? Sip of Sunshine is
definitely a fine liquid, and a perfect summer IPA to sip on while soaking in some
rays. This beer is strong in all ways, a flavor bomb of a double IPA. A strong malt
backbone brings a prominent mouthfeel that balances the beautful bouquet of
citrus and fruit flavors. And it is so easy to drink! You may find yourself sleeping in
the sun after a few of these, but isn’t that what vacation is all about?
