Crank Your Summer Up to Mach 10

With the way this spring is going—daily rain, cloudy skies, and a million mosquitos—you probably are anxiously looking forward to the arrival of summer next week. In fact if you are like most Rocky Mountain residents you are counting the days until the temps climb, the trails dry out, and BBQ’s rule the day. Well luckily for you liquor stores are getting inundated with new beers designed to work hand in hand with the rising mercury, which hopefully is headed our way.

Bear Republic Brewing Company from Healdsburg, California has been churning out some damn fine lagers and ales for the last twenty years. As one of the larger breweries in the country (number 39 in 2015) they are pros. Winners of 21 medals at the Great American Beer Festival, their products are recognized industry wide as some of the best.

11283401_618324464969764_2127187253_nTheir summer seasonal Mach 10, is a ridiculous hop-bomb brewed in the tradition of all classic West Coast IPA’s. Billed as a Double IPA this beast weighs in at 9.2% alcohol-by-volume and brings 100 IBU’s to the table. Its insanely rich flavors are ones to savor. The moment you crack the crown on this 22oz bomber your nose is instantly assailed with pine and citrus flavors. The blending of Cascade and First Gold hops is perfect.

Upon your first sip you will forget all about the inclement weather that has been plaguing the region. In fact, you might forget everything, and just float upon a wave of blissful flavor. Very fruity, very layered, very complex, this is a beer to be savored. There is a reason they named it Mach 10, there is nothing mellow about this beer.

But just be careful—it packs a punch. A couple of glasses of this and you will be feeling no pain. So plan accordingly. Headed to Shelf Road to spend the weekend cragging? Bring it along. Planning on car camping in Rocky Mountain National Park? Perfect. Just want a great beer to unwind with in the back yard after a day of work as the sun slowly sets? This is the beer to sip.

So welcome the new season in style with a beer that matches the mood.
