Expert’s Notes:

Bryant Bowlby, Wine Dispensary Beverage Expert, sees Wrennovation as “a prime example of why Wren House keeps stacking medals.” Known for mastering West Coast styles, the brewery delivers something truly exceptional here, vibrant, aromatic, and classically bitter. But Bowlby adds a note of urgency: “This is a rotational release, so don’t wait. It disappears fast, and for good reason, it’s one of the best expressions of the style available anywhere right now.”

A sturdy, enduring bitterness grounds the experience, while the dry malt backbone allows the hop flavors to shine with crisp precision.

Brewer's Background:

Based in Phoenix, Wren House Brewing Co. is a small, independent brewery known for its bold experimentation and high-quality craftsmanship. With a philosophy rooted in using the finest ingredients and honoring local partnerships, Wren House continually redefines expectations for Arizona beer. Their collaborations with farms like Billy Goat Hop Farm in Colorado elevate regional hop terroir into world-class brews like Wrennovation.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve Wrennovation at 6–8°C (43–46°F) to highlight its bright hop character and crisp bitterness. Perfect with fresh oysters, grilled shrimp, or cedar plank salmon, it also complements smoked pork or char-grilled steak. Of course, it's equally rewarding sipped solo on a sunny afternoon when only a clean, expressive IPA will do.

A modern benchmark of the West Coast style, Wrennovation balances tradition, terroir, and innovation with every sip, a tribute to the evolving art of IPA brewing.
