Fieldwork Paulie vs. Steve

Many brewers share the same best memories of being a brewer, your first time drinking Death & Taxes at Toronado, your first time drinking Blind Pig at Toronado, and your first time drinking your own beer at Toronado. We have a new best memory though, being asked to make an anniversary beer for the legend that is Toronado. While unworthy of the honor we set forth to prove ourselves wrong. Paulie vs. Steve IPA is an ode to the hallowed walls of Toronado, once a list comparing the two beer slingers behind the bar, now an IPA comparing the best qualities from each coast. With mellow malt character and vacant sweetness the Westcoast IPA bells begin to ring, only to be followed up with a pillowy body and softly balanced bitterness that jump to the other corner of the country. An aromatic wallop of Galaxy and El Dorado hops stick to your nostrils with a boisterous serenade of pineapple juice, pomelo zest, peach puree, and fresh squeezed limes. The hop flavor seems never ending and forever changing as it floats across your palate on that pillowy body, shifting from one fruit juice flavor to the next, but never shaking free from that machine gun of pineapple. Happy birthday to you Toronado, and thank you for everything.
