To accentuate juicy hop aromas without using adjuncts or fruit, Mountain Standard IPA is triple dry-hopped. The result is an extremely drinkable IPA bursting with bright hop flavors, low bitterness, and a slight haze.

“There are West Coast IPAs and New England IPAs, but this is our take on the Mountain Style

IPA,”explains C.O.O., Brendan McGivney. “We learned a lot with recent releases like Drumroll, New Dawn, Cloud Catcher, and pilot brews at our new RiNo Brewhouse. They all had a role in shaping this new beer.”

Cape May Brewing Co. in Cape May, New Jersey has announced the release of a new year-round beer: Cape May Lager, which is a crisp, clean and easy-drinking Pale Lager.

“We wanted it to have the depth of flavor craved by craft beer aficionados while maintaining an everyman approach that the uninitiated would be excited to try,” explains Innovation Director Brian Hink in a release. “If we played it too safe, we’d lose out on the craft beer drinker, but if we went too aggressive with the flavor, we might be able to grab the average beer drinker out of an initial intrigue, but the likelihood of it becoming their next go-to simply wouldn't happen.”

The beer is brewed with noble Saaz hops and clocks in at 4.8 percent ABV.
