Design Trends
Soft floral aromas and a hint of citrus lead into a crackery malt backbone with medium malt sweetness and herbal, dank hops. Design Trends is a year-round West Coast Pale Ale at 5.5% ABV, brewed with Nelson, Vista, Columbus and Columbus Cryo hops, Briess flaked corn and Chico yeast. The name winks at trends from subway tile and skinny jeans to cryo hops; the pub, after all, kept brats on the menu until 2019.
