Description from the Brewer:
Made in collaboration with musical artist Rae Isla (well, mostly inspired by her name), this rustic IPA leans into soft haze, grainy depth, and a nostalgic hop bite that breaks from the current fruit-forward trend. Built on Chevalier barley dating back to 1870, with spelt malt adding bready, nutty character, plus corn and flaked barley for texture.
Hops are old-school on purpose—whole leaf Crystal in the mash, Crystal pellets and Columbus in the boil, Centennial and Columbus in the whirlpool, and a solo dry hop of Chinook. Earthy pine and fir vibes throughout.
If this sounds like 2005, you’re not far off—but these hops were shaping brews as early as the mid-80s. Like music and beer, it's art and science meeting in one glass. Paired to Rae’s new album. Enjoy.
About the collaboration, from Isla herself: Years Beers Her Tears was originally written with a male country singer in mind. But, I played it at a show in Los Angeles and people loved it. I realized that it was my story, every word, so I didn't change a single word and decided to record it myself.
"It takes a strong strong woman to make a good man" feels like the truest line I've ever written. It's about my struggle with alcohol, watching my dad go through it and realizing that a lot of our struggles are generational. It took a lot of years and mistakes for me to figure out how to be the best version of myself, and I attribute all my strength to my mom, grandma, and the women who have stood by me through it all.
As a Washington-born artist, I'm proud to be collaborating with Self Care, a brand from my home state, that is leading the charge in non-corporate owned NA beers. After working in the entertainment industry for 10+ years, I've watched friends and family members struggle with alcohol abuse. I've had my periods of teetering on that precipice as well.
I'm super passionate about creating a healthier relationship with alcohol in my life and inspiring my community to examine how it plays a role in theirs. Being a part of the live music scene doesn't need to be a drunk experience. I'm so excited that more people are jumping on board the NA beverage train!
WARNING: similar to many juices, kombucha, and other beverages you'll find in the grocery store, this product has not been pasteurized, and therefore may contain harmful bacteria that can cause serious illness in children, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems.
