Many of those fans come back with great regularity due to the plethora of beers owner and brewmaster <strong>Alex Van Horne<\/strong> pumps out. His is a great and varied portfolio further fueled by a Red Shirt series of experimental and one-off brews. As one would expect from such a prolific brewing operation, Van Horne\u2019s has numerous new beers slated for debut at Intergalactic\u2019s four-year anniversary on the weekend of <strong>April 21-23<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>There are four to be exact, all of which are collaborative projects. Van Horne was inspired by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sierranevada.com\"><strong>Sierra Nevada Brewing Company<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s Beer Camp, which has seen the country\u2019s third-largest craft brewing interest brew nationally released collaboration beers with dozens of notable contemporaries across the country. In keeping with his brewery\u2019s sci-fi motif, Van Horne calls his smaller-scale homage \u201cSpace Camp\u201d. Three of the four beers it yielded were created with San Diego brewers while the fourth is a tandem undertaking of Van Horne and Detroit\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.riverrougebrew.com\"><strong>River Rouge Brewing Company<\/strong><\/a>. Van Horne befriended the owner of the latter, helping them get their Michigan nanobrewery (which is about to celebrate two years in operation) off the ground, and each year they brew special beers for each other\u2019s anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>The following are notes on Intergalactic\u2019s quartet of anniversary collaborations.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Breakfast Before Impact of Giant Hurtling Space Rock of Doom Imperial Coffee Porter: <\/strong>Brazilian coffee from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.birdrockcoffee.com\"><strong>Bird Rock Coffee Roasters<\/strong><\/a> gives a caffeinated kick to this robust brew designed with the head brewer from La Jolla\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rockbottom.com\"><strong>Rock Bottom <\/strong><\/a>pub.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monocles &amp; Elbow Patches Required Imperial ESB: <\/strong>A higher-alcohol version of an English-style extra special bitter conceived with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hillcrestbrewingcompany.com\"><strong>Hillcrest Brewing Company <\/strong><\/a>gets its boozy boost from Golden Promis and traditional flavor from English specialty malts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Star Date 4.2 The Answer to Life, the Universe &amp; Everything Divided by 10 Double IPA: <\/strong>Not surprisingly, the out-of-towners at River Rouge went the hoppy route with this San Diego collab, which is hopped with Azacca and Falconer\u2019s Flight.<\/li>\n<li><strong>We Want to Punch You in the Face for Liking this Hazy IPA [It\u2019s Not An IPA]: <\/strong>Created with fellow Miramar nanobrewery, <a href=\"http:\/\/2kidsbrewing.com\"><strong>2kids Brewing Company<\/strong><\/a>, this Mosaic, Citra and Vermont yeast strain-infused Northeast-style offering pokes fun at the current \u201cit-style\u201d among American beer nerds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to being available on-tap starting <strong>Friday, April 21<\/strong>, the beers will packaged in 16-ounce cans and be sold as part of variety four-packs.
