Idiom Brewing Co

Beer: Pour Sap

Release Date: Tuesday, July 18, 2023

What's the deal?

Hazy IPA — 5% ABV

Brewed with hefty dose of Citra in the whirlpool, then a double dose of Mosaic Incognito in the fermenter (that's right, the fermenter) while we transferred it in warm, so the hop oils could blend in nicely.

We let it naturally cool a touch before throwing some Cosmic Punch yeast at this tasty treat. Once fermentation was almost complete, we dropped some Sultana in to round it out.

Huge juicy fruit gum vibes with a touch of pink grapefruit and a subtle sap note.

Beer: Tickled Pink

Release Date: Tuesday, July 18, 2023

What's the deal?

Candy Sour Ale — 6% ABV

Limited release and just in time for the release of "Barbie," the movie! We went all out with the pink for this one! This Candy Sour was conditioned on 150lbs of all pink chewy candy squares, individually unwrapped with love by your favorite team members at Idiom!

On the nose, you'll get (you guessed it) defined pink candy square goodness, leading you to a delightful punch of sweet strawberry juice throughout. Decidedly tart to balance perfectly with an overall sweetness, just like we'd imagine Barbie to be. We think Ken & Barbie would be tickled pink; how 'bout you?!
