Fieldwork Middle Out

What do you do when you spend half a decade working for a digital video compression company in the IPA sodden city of San Diego, you leave America’s Finest City to open a brewery in the nucleus of the tech industry, and you have a penchant for manipulating data? You brew Middle Out Westcoast IPA, a hyper-dry India Pale Ale with a laser beam of hop aromas and a desolate landscape of malt character. Upon launch this IPA scores big with immense hop-derived notes of juicy papaya, sun-ripened pears, and lemon blossom; perfectly showcasing the complimentary shaft angle that Simcoe and Lemon Drop hops share as they stand tip to tip waiting for the beer to finish. More bitter than a predatory flautist and with sweetness that is harder to find than the floating island community of Arallon, we like to think of Middle Out as the Westcoast IPA version 2.0.
