Redhook Brewery announced the release of Bicoastal IPA, a mash up between a hazy New England IPA and a west coast IPA.

The hazy New England-style IPA is taking both coasts by storm. Redhook Brewery has a unique perspective on the trend, having a presence in both Washington and New Hampshire. The Redhook brewing team wanted to highlight the best of both coasts, and after experimenting with the style created Bicoastal IPA, which takes India Pale Ale style cues from both coasts.

Bicoastal IPA captures the signature haze, creamy body, and ripe tropical fruit notes of a New England IPA, and blends signature dank hops and rich maltiness found in classic west coast IPAs. The hazy IPA is the first beer in Redhook’s Limited Release Series, which features the best and brightest new small-batch and experimental beers from Redhook Innovation Brewer Nick Crandall’s recipe books.

“Bicoastal is inspired by the IPAs coming out of New England, but with a little bit of a west coast twist,” said Crandall, who created this unique beer. “Given that we have a brewery in New Hampshire, we really had to nail this one. Bicoastal has the signature hazy appearance and a really smooth mouthfeel with a huge tropical fruit aroma. Then we gave it a dank dry hopping synonymous with a west coast IPA.”

Bicoastal IPA will be available exclusively in Seattle as part of the Redhook Limited Release Series, which is inspired by the counter culture of the city: music, water, mountains, art, coffee, and design. Each beer features original artwork from local Seattle artists. Seattle-based designer, art director, and screen printer Derek Vander Griend created the artwork for Bicoastal, featuring the legendary sea creature, the kraken.
