The 2024 release was brewed around whole-cone Citra harvested at Jackson Hop Farm in Idaho and transported overnight to preserve the aromatic character that can quickly fade after picking. Supported by HBC 586, Citra, and Colorado Cascade, it captures fresh-hop season through a combination of vibrant citrus, resinous forest tones, and a crisp, hop-driven profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFounders:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sean Buchan and Dan McGuire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Brewer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sam Bennett\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Brewer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sam Stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024 seasonal harvest release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFresh Hops:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole-cone Citra from Jackson Hop Farm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Hops:\u003c\/strong\u003e HBC 586, Colorado Cascade, Citra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFresh Hop Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh Citra transported overnight from the hop farm following harvest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.3%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVivid citrus leads the profile, suggesting grapefruit soda and ripe Sumo mandarin, followed by the distinctly fresh green character of whole-cone hops. Evergreen and resinous forest tones bring a savory counterpoint to the citrus, while the layered hop bill adds aromatic depth without obscuring the character of the freshly harvested Citra. The overall impression is bright, energetic, and hop-forward, with citrus freshness and evergreen character carrying through the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewer's Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCerebral Brewing was founded in 2015 by Sean Buchan and Dan McGuire in Denver's Congress Park neighborhood. From the beginning, the brewery has approached beer through a combination of scientific methodology and creative experimentation, maintaining an in-house quality assurance and quality control laboratory while continually refining its recipes and techniques. Its range spans hop-driven ales, foeder-fermented lagers, and an extensive barrel-aging program. Head Brewer Sam Bennett leads the current brewing team, with Sam Stone serving as Lead Brewer. Same Day Shipping reflects Cerebral's experimental approach particularly clearly: each annual release is built around freshly harvested hops sourced directly from growers, allowing the beer to capture the distinctive aromatic character of a specific hop harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe fresh and chilled at approximately 7 to 9 degrees Celsius in an IPA or tulip glass to emphasize the volatile citrus, evergreen, and fresh-hop aromatics. Fresh-hop beers are particularly sensitive to extended storage, so this is a beer to enjoy for its immediate hop expression rather than cellar. Pair with grilled burgers, tacos, spicy fried chicken, barbecue, sharp cheddar, or herb-driven dishes whose savory flavors complement its citrus and resinous hop character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cerebral Brewing","offers":[{"title":"Single 16oz Cans","offer_id":50216500985911,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-Pack 16oz Cans","offer_id":50216501018679,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2699\/1632\/files\/Cerebral_Brewing_Same_Day_Shipping_Fresh_Hop_West_Coast_IPA_Beer_Colorado.png?v=1790342319","url":"https:\/\/www.winedispensary.com\/products\/cerebral-brewing-same-day-shipping-fresh-hop-west-coast-ipa-beer-colorado","provider":"Wine Dispensary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
