Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Tropical Paradise

Share

Remember when you knew how to relax? It was probably before you had an iPhone, kids, and a job demanding 70 hours a week — plus weekends. Relaxation, we’re afraid, is a dying art (especially this time of year). That’s why we offer a five-craft beer flight of tropical chill today. So, pawn the kids off on Grandma, put your phone down, and get ready to swallow one seriously giant chill pill. Step one: Deep breath, South Sound. Step two: Grab Peaks & Pints’ flight of tropical-flavored brews intended to give you psychological relief from the chill of winter by providing the impression of warmer climes. We’re calling the flight Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Tropical Paradise. Aloha!

Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Tropical Paradise

Anderson Valley Hazy Tropical

4.2% ABV

Anderson Valley Brewing’s tart and refreshing traditional kettle sour offers tropical flavors, which are introduced in the fermentation process using real guava and passionfruit. Leaving the beer hazy results in a more aromatic beer and adds to the overall balance.

Drekker SMOL – Passionfruit Orange Guava

5.7% ABV

SMOL Lil’ Fruited Sours still pack a ton of flavor, but they aren’t nearly as thick or pulpy as some of Drekker Brewing’s other beers. Just the right amount of fruit for a delicious and refreshingly light potion. This SMOL is a tropical banger of passionfruit, orange, and guava without lactose.

Breakside Tropical Pale

6.1% ABV

Breakside Brewery’s Tropical Pale began as one of their “Freestyle Friday” ideas, a foray into the outer perimeter of the hops world and a chance to test out new ideas. The Portland brewery combined modern West Coast hops with a clean base pale ale and some hop-derived terpenes to create a beer that combines underlying dank notes with strong tropical fruit flavors. Expect giant white grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, guava, and passionfruit notes.

Great Notion Over Ripe

7% ABV

Great Notion Brewing Over Ripe is a fruited, hazy IPA dripping with juicy mangosteen. Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is an exotic, tropical fruit with a slightly sweet and sour flavor. It’s originally from Southeast Asia but can be found in various tropical regions worldwide. Over Ripe is an experimental IPA brewed with Citra, Motueka, Azacca, and tropical fruit. This beer is saturated with over-ripe fruit flavors like mangosteen, cantaloupe, guava, pineapple, and papaya.

Ravenna Phone Home

8.5% ABV

Ravenna Brewing’s Phone Home hazy double IPA is brewed with Mosaic Cryo, Chinook, and Enigma for bold, impactful aromas of papaya, melon, kiwi, and stone fruit, transitioning into a boozy tropical cocktail.
