This 17 Jan 2023 update from Karl Strauss:

Each quarter we debut a new beer in our Collaboration Series, and 2023’s first release is here! Introducing Be Bold Start Cold IPA with none other than Ventura California’s Topa Topa Brewing Company. This Cold IPA makes its grand entrance this Thursday 1/19.

“Be bold, start cold” is sound advice when planning outdoor activities. You’ll likely heat up on the journey, so it’s okay to start out chilly. These words of wisdom also apply in the brewhouse – just ask our friends at Topa Topa! Be Bold, Start Cold IPA features a blend of New Zealand hops for vibrant tropical, fruity aromas. It’s also brewed with flaked rice and corn for a super crisp mouthfeel, and lager yeast fermented a little warmer (which means the tropical notes aren’t just from the hops, but the yeast too.) Whether you’re hiking a trail or choosing your next IPA, remember these four magic words.

Available on draft and 16oz 4-packs at all of our brewpubs, as well as craft beer establishments throughout California and Arizona.
