Their Citra IPA- made with Citra hops that taste, as you might have guessed, citrusy-clocks in at 6.9 percent ABV with “plenty” of IBU, according to Stoup. And inside, the brewery serves some of the cleanest and crispest beers on the Seattle market. Food trucks are often parked outside to satisfy beer buzz munchies. Inside, you can see the bright glint of the brew kettles or you can head upstairs for trivia on certain days of the week. Stoup’s makes for an excellent neighborhood hangout. Second: Stoup Citra at Stoup Brewing (127) It’s as Goldilocks would say: just right. Clocking it at 6.2 percent ABV (alcohol by volume) and 80 IBU (international bitterness units), the bright, light-bodied (for an IPA) beer is consistent, effervescent, not too malty (sweet) and not too hoppy (bitter).

Kids and dogs are welcome at Fremont Brewing, with free pretzels on offer and a plethora of outdoor tables. The Platonic Ideal of an IPA was offered in a bustling brewpub that’s the ideal setting for a sunny day. But which Emerald City brewery makes it best? I decided to find out with some help from beer enthusiasts Evan Flory-Barnes and Lindsey Scully. As a result, local breweries-which have grown substantially over the last 15 years, seemingly quintupling in number and variety-have a unique opportunity to experiment with different hop flavors and recipes, and Seattle has quickly become the IPA center of the universe. Yakima Valley in Washington is one of the most productive hops-growing regions in the world. This gave rounder pale ales a sharper bite and soon enough, the distinctive taste of IPAs became embedded in our culture. In the 1700s, beer makers added extra hops during the brewing process hops was a natural preservative, and kept the beer fresh in the barrels that were shipped from England to the Indian colonies. Steve, we definitely do not have any sort of problem.Conceived in England in the late 18th century, the iconic India pale ale has a storied past and a bright future. We’re lucky to be here – and we are definitely lucky to have the one-of-a-kind Steve Luke. In short, this beer is an affirmation for all beer lovers here in the Emerald City. It’s one step for IPAs, but one giant leap for beer lovers. This being said, the Astronaut Chic ends with that completely satisfactory ever-so-slightly hop bitterness. It has an undeniably fruity flavor and sparkles on your taste buds with it’s slight carbonation. The combination of citra, ella, chinook and (appropriately) galaxy hops gives the beer a depth and intricacy that is not easily replicated – even by the most talented Pacific Northwest brewers. The scent has a balance and a complexity to it that completely sets the stage for the beer itself. It has a gorgeous, cloudy golden color and an aroma that has a bit of citrus here and a bit of hop there. This beer (pardon the cliché) really sends one into orbit. His journey has been a total treat for us Seattleites because Cloudburst has produced some of the most delectable IPAs to hit the Emerald City in years. Since leaving his brewing position at Elysian, Luke has totally nailed his latest venture – founding Cloudburst Brewing. He is one of Seattle’s most talented, admired, sought after – and yet most humble – brewers, crafting recipes that include, among many, the Space Dust IPA from Elysian Brewing Company. Luke has fast become a staple in Seattle’s beer scene, known for his innovation, creativity, and experimentation. One of the biggest advocates of taking advantage of our location, and embracing the IPA, is Steve Luke. Needless to say, we take advantage of Yakima’s crop, which is located a quick and easy two and a half hours drive southeast of town.
Lucky for us Seattle folk, we are in close proximity to the Yakima Valley, which produces nearly 77% of the country’s hop crop. In fact, we really, really, like IPAs in Seattle.Īnd it’s no wonder.
