Pelican Brewing Creates Small Batch Marine Layer Foggy IPA
(Pacific City, OR )— There’s nothing quite like an early morning fog on the coast. The same can be said of Pelican’s new small batch masterpiece, Marine Layer Foggy IPA—born of a creative collaboration between Pelican’s Cannon Beach brewer Coren Tradd and The Bier Stein’s longtime beer buyer, Dave Stockhausen. The two popular craft beer leaders have innovated a delicious semi-hazy IPA which is on-tap now only at Pelican Brewing at Cannon Beach and The Bier Stein in Eugene—and only while the kegs last which could be just a few more days at The Bier Stein based on popularity!
“At The Bier Stein we are always looking for interesting, inventive beers you are just not going to find elsewhere so when this opportunity came up to co-brew with a talent like Coren at Pelican, it was a perfect opportunity for us,” says Stockhausen of The Bier Stein in Eugene, which boasts an 18-door cooler with over 1,000 bottles of beer from around the world and 30 taps with rotating drafts. “We had this idea to do a hazy or foggy IPA and I wanted to add the grapefruit to accentuate the stone fruit and tropical flavors. This recipe resulted in such a creamy and juicy IPA—I thank Pelican for a great collaboration and an educational experience.”
According to Tradd, Marine Layer Foggy IPA offers a light gold color with a slight fog and a thick white head. Aromas of grapefruit, sweet pine and ripe fruit combine for a flavor and aroma of mild malty sweetness. The new brew has a smooth, creamy mouthfeel along with a nice dry finish and a moderate level of bitterness balanced with its malty character.
The brewers combined two row malt, malted oats and malted white wheat with Meridian, Eukanot, Mosaic and El Dorado hops and Pelican’s house ale yeast for an ABV of 7% and IBU of 50.
