Our b**r buddies from Julian B**r Company traded a day in the pines for a day on the coast to bring you Mountain Kook IPA.
This 7% IPA features Strata, Strata CGX, Chinook, Cryo Columbus, and Freestyle Peacharine Hop Kief. It’s medium-bodied with a dank punch of tangerine, white grapefruit, apricot skin, and juicy peach. Loads of citrus pith round out the flavor, leading into a crisp, dry, piney finish.
Six-packs and draft are out now at all Pizza Port Brewing Company brewpubs. Come let your inner kook out.

That’s a wrap on this year’s hop selection!
Our brewers traveled to the Pacific Northwest to meet the farmers at Yakima Chief Hops, Indie Hops LLC and Crosby Hops Crosby Estate Grown Hops to evaluate the new crop and hand-pick the hop lots for every pint and can brewed.
This trip was extra special with Pizza Port Brewing Company founders, Vince and Gina along for the ride. Together they picked out a few special varieties for our upcoming 40th Anniversary IPA.

Your guide is ready to take you off trail.
Every trail has someone who knows the way. With bright citrus that hits first and holds nothing back, Mountain Guide leads with bursts of Meyer lemon flesh, makrut lime and calamansi. Pine and dank black currant then take over, grounding the climb and settling the palate the way a tree line settles a view. It’s the kind of pairing that pulls you forward, one ridge at a time, always angling toward the next summit, the next sip.
Grab six pack or a pint of Mountain Guide IPA at any Pizza Port Brewing Company brewpub starting today. California, Arizona, and Nevada distribution will follow in the coming weeks.
