pFriem Family Brewers Brewmaster and Co-Founder Josh Pfriem Talks pFriem West Coast IPA
92 Rating - Exceptional
We spoke with pFriem Family Brewers Brewmaster and Co-Founder Josh Pfriem about pFriem West Coast IPA.
Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
This has been a team effort with our brewery management team.
What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
The big hop impact while also being super bright and very drinkable.
Where does this beer’s name come from?
Like all beers at pFriem we just call them what they are.
Is this your “desert island beer?”
If my desert island beer had to be a hop-forward beer, this would certainly be a contender.
Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Bright aromas of strawberry and cannabis accompanied by tropical notes.
Do you know a story – or have a personal story – that revolves around this beer?
This is not a West Coast IPA of the early 2000s, this is a modern version that works towards the hop impact of a hazy IPA, while being bright, balanced and very drinkable. This is an evolving beer for us, and we look forward to the future of West Coast IPAs!
