Second Dawn Brewing Co. ‘Tree Run’ Spruce Tip Double IPA Beer, Colorado

Fresh evergreen resin and bold hop character announce Second Dawn Brewing Co. Tree Run Spruce Tip IPA Beer, a beer that draws inspiration directly from Colorado’s high country. Built as a resinous double IPA and finished with locally sourced spruce tips, this release bridges forest-driven intensity with modern hop expression. It reflects a brewery rooted in the idea of reward and release, crafting beers meant to mark the moment when the workday ends and enjoyment begins.

Product Details:

• ABV: 8%

Sensory Description:

Aromatically striking, Tree Run opens with notes of pine resin, fresh spruce needles, and dank hops layered over subtle citrus undertones. The palate is bold and structured, delivering flavors of evergreen sap, grapefruit pith, and herbal bitterness supported by a firm malt backbone. Spruce tips add a crisp, forest-like lift that enhances the beer’s natural hop resin character rather than overpowering it. Compared to traditional double IPAs, this expression leans deeper into alpine, woodsy complexity, offering a distinctive sense of place and a long, bracing finish.

Brewer's Background:

Second Dawn Brewing Co. is founded on the idea that beer marks the transition from obligation to enjoyment. Named for the moment when the day’s work is done, the brewery focuses on creating expressive, thoughtful beers that invite relaxation and connection. Operating with a collaborative producer team, Second Dawn aims to create beverages that serve as a gateway to personal downtime and shared experiences.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled in a tulip or IPA glass to concentrate aromatics and highlight the interplay between hops and spruce. This beer pairs naturally with grilled meats, smoked foods, or rich dishes where its resinous bitterness can cut through intensity.
