When we started to plan our beers we agreed right away that an IPA was not going to be in the initial line up. It’s a wildly popular style, but there are so many options with all of the hop varietals that we wanted to take our time to nail down our personal twist that would distinguish this beer from the endless available supply. So we took advantage of one of our core beers – The Quest single hop pale ale series – and essentially used it as a proving ground for hops. After the first batch of The Quest w/ El Dorado we knew we had the key hop and once we brewed a pilot of The Quest w/ Azacca we found our back up hop. Add in a little Centennial that we were already very familiar with and the King Harbor IPA was born.
