The occasion of the 125th birthday of America's first craft brewery is one to be savored and celebrated in a big manner, which is precisely what Anchor Brewing Company is looking to do with the advent of its latest and greatest West Coast IPA.
This vibrant beverage highlights the latest innovations in Anchor's dry-hopping process. Utilizing a quadrant of hops including Cascade, Citra, Nugget and Sultana, this West Coast IPA comes in at an ABV of seven percent and offers distinct notes of arboreal pine and tangy grapefruit. It is available in six-packs for a suggested price of $9.99.
In the words of assistant brewmaster Dane Volek, Anchor Brewing Company's 125th-anniversary West Coast IPA is "a celebration of our Bay Area roots, and Anchor's long history with dry hopping."
