The Hop Dude doesn’t do birthday parties swinging at watermelons—we rock the traditional paper mache, and fill it up with a veritable boat load of HOPS (the officially recognized candy of the High Hop Council). Swing away young Hop Dudes. This Mosaic and Strata-laden party favor is clear, crisp, and freaking brilliant. Did I mention clear? And since when did 5% pale ales hit this dank? We named it a “California Pale Ale” because we can😏 But also because we wanted something SoCal (LA/SD), aka lighter body but just enough to handle / let the hop load shine, and something bright enough to outlast (make you forget for even a split second) the irregular and insane, blazing July Japanese heat (it’s literally Thailand here right now). This brew has it all, thirst quenching, taste bud stimulating, just come and get this. We might have released our best summer elixir ever. Brewed to celebrate Team Chelas’ 2nd year anni🥳
