Steamworks releases something new, Brut IPA

Press Release

Burnaby B.C. (June 21, 2018)

Steamworks has announced the release of a new limited release beer, the Brut IPA. This champagne-style IPA is the perfect celebratory beer for all occasions this summer. The Brut IPA juxtaposes a vibrant hop aroma with an effervescent mouthful, light body and minimal bitterness.

This is the newest style in the world of IPA's. Moving away from the hazy and juicy IPA's and entering a realm of bubbly sleekness. Brut, which means unsweetened and very dry, is exactly what you can expect from this champagne inspired brew. The beer is brewed with an IPA enzyme called amylase that breaks down the sugars from malts reducing sweetness and resulting in a very dry refreshing style.

Steamworks Brewmaster Julia Hanlon says "Our take on the Brut IPA style was to try to make a beer that hit all the notes of a champagne: pale, super dry, spritzy and effervescent, while showcasing the hops typical of an North American style IPA. To balance with the dryness, we kept the bitterness low and went for an aroma packed a punch, with gooseberry, melon and tropical fruits".

The Brut IPA will be available for a very limited time at the Steamworks Brewery and Taproom (3845 William St., Burnaby), Steamworks Brewpub & Liquor Store (375 Water St.) and select liquor stores.
