Mesa IPA
A straight-ahead West Coast IPA that harks back to a simpler time, an old-school take on the style. Bitter, with notes of pine over a malty backbone, it runs 7.1% ABV and 101 IBU. It is on tap at the Mothership and the downtown Tap Room, brewed all-grain with an infusion mash on a 10 BBL Craftwerks system.
