'Cheer in Space' Hop Saturated Hazy IPA, Colorado","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrand Mimosa, Orange Julius, and fruit cup juice set the tone for a densely aromatic, fruit-driven expression of modern hoppy beer. Cerebral Brewing x Lyric Brewing Co. 'Cheer in Space' Hop Saturated Hazy IPA brings together Citra, Galaxy, Nelson, and Riwaka in an 8.8% ABV collaboration shaped by the two breweries’ shared interest in highly expressive hop character. Concentrated forms of Nelson and Riwaka further intensify the hop program, building layers of citrus and tropical fruit into a saturated, full-flavored profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.8%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHops:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citra, Galaxy, Nelson, Riwaka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHop Products:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nelson Cryo, Riwaka Amplifire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollaboration:\u003c\/strong\u003e First collaboration between Cerebral Brewing and Lyric Brewing Company\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpressive citrus and tropical fruit lead the aroma, recalling a Grand Mimosa with layers of ripe orange and juicy fruit. The palate moves toward the creamy citrus impression of an Orange Julius, while broader tropical and mixed-fruit tones evoke the concentrated juice at the bottom of a fruit cup. Citra and Galaxy reinforce the citrus and tropical core, while Nelson and Riwaka bring further aromatic intensity. The concentrated Nelson Cryo and Riwaka Amplifire additions deepen the saturated hop character, creating a powerful yet fruit-focused expression across the beer’s substantial 8.8% ABV frame.\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. Buchan serves as Co-Founder and CEO, McGuire as Co-Founder and CFO, and Sam Bennett currently leads the brewing team as Head Brewer. Cerebral describes its philosophy as a scientific approach to beer, combining precise methodology and an in-house quality assurance and quality control laboratory with ongoing creative experimentation. Lyric Brewing Company is a Denver-area nano brewery, and Cheer in Space marks the first collaboration between the two producers. The project developed through an exchange of brewing techniques, including discussions of mash temperatures, grist composition, water chemistry, and approaches to hop-forward beer, before the breweries translated those ideas into a shared recipe built around their mutual interest in expressive hop varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe chilled at 7 to 9 degrees Celsius in a tulip or IPA glass to concentrate the citrus and tropical hop aromatics.
