Brewer's Notes: We’ve gone and done it. You would swear it's a leaded beer. We assure you it's not. Taking an inspiration from last year's flavor profile of our Hazy IPA release, we decided to not only use Strata from Crosby Farms in Oregon, but level-up the quantity by 100 lbs. That extrapolates to an extra 66.66666667% hops, for all of the mathletes in the room.

Why? Because we make the rules. And we wanted this to be an awe-inspiring and shocking assault of how cool Strata can be. It’s got absolutely huge fruit flavors that drift into the best sort of hop greenness/dankness. Brewed with malt from Mainstem Malting out of Walla Walla, Washington (though it's Oregon grown barley), and just a dash of specialty malt in order to give it that classic pale ale flavor. It’s got a slightly hazy appearance but it’s not a hazy (bro). We also used a tiny, tiny dash of Yakima grown Ahtanum pellets to give it just a couple of bitterness points.

Collect it while you can! Its fresh and cool. It will sell out because it's legitimately awesome. But for the love that is fresh hops, don’t let this one sit in the fridge for too long! Rip into that can like a pair of fresh kicks while it's still got that standout aroma. 

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.

PLEASE NOTE: like other beverage industries have been doing for centuries, we mitigate the potential for bacterial growth in other ways, rather than to pasteurize and destroy the nuanced flavors that make our beer stand out from many pasteurized non-alcoholic beer offerings, though we do acknowledge pasteurization is the most effective way to inhibit bacterial growth, or potential for refermentation in the can. Risk may be exacerbated by prolonged warm storage, so to mitigate risk, always cold-store Self Care immediately upon receipt, and avoid exposure to extreme heat.
