DC Brau / Union Craft Brewing – Yonder Cities Farmhouse IPA For CBC 2013

This Farmhouse IPA is quite the standout with its beautiful balance of malt, hops and yeast. DC Brau’s Jeff Hancock and Union’s Kevin Blodger worked hard to craft a beer with a spicy yeast character and a bright, vivid hop profile. Simcoe and Citra hops bring white grapefruit, juicy nectarine and zesty lemon peel to the nose an palate, while the proprietary saison yeast balances peppery earth tones with a crisp, tart finish.

“Yonder Cities Farmhouse IPA represents more than just another collaboration brew for us,“ says Jon Zerivitz of Union Craft Brewing. “Soon after returning from CBC 2011, DC Brau were one of the first breweries we reached out to when we were in our start-up phase and they received us with open arms, offering us great advice and friendship. Like our neighboring cities, our breweries are kindred spirits and we are very proud to have brewed this amazing beer with them. As both breweries continue to grow within our own cities, we look forward to many more exciting partnerships with our beltway brothers.”

Kevin Blodger of Union Craft brewing added, “It was great to collaborate with DC Brau. This farmhouse IPA is something I think everyone in DC & Baltimore will love. It’s a perfect beer for the season.”

“
