Coronado Brewing Co. Head Brewer Mark Theisen Talks Weekend Vibes IPA

We spoke with Coronado Brewing Co. Head Brewer Mark Theisen about Weekend Vibes IPA.

BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
This beer was an all-around team effort. While I physically wrote the recipe, there was a lot of input from team members across the board. This beer is a mashup of a lot of people’s favorite aspects of a West Coast IPA.

BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
I love this beer because you get an aromatic punch as soon as you crack the can.

BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
We want this beer to evoke the same feelings of happiness that people get from enjoying their weekends. Not to mention, this beer is the perfect companion for weekend adventures.

BC: Is this your “desert island beer?”
My desert island beer isn't a beer that I have brewed, but of all the beers I have made, this one is the closest.

BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Dry, citrusy, tropical IPA with an in-your-face aroma.

BC: What's a good food pairing for this beer?
Grilled fish tacos with lime cabbage slaw and mango salsa.
