Mason Ale Works Vera Lynn Double IPA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the Beer Writer:\u00a0<\/strong>The first year of\u00a0Beer to the Rescue<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(the charity campaign established to raise money for the\u00a0Lupus Foundation of Southern California<\/strong><\/a>)\u00a0numerous local breweries crafted specialty beers to tap in the name of humanitarianism. The majority of them were kind enough to ask me what I’d like them to brew or for input on what they wanted to brew. I took this as an opportunity to try to hit all beer styles and take many of them in interesting directions. They all turned out nice, but\u00a0their esoteric nature hurt their sales. So, this year, when kindly brewers asked what I’d like, I consistently responded with one word: HOPS! As a result IPAs and other hoppy brews make up the majority of the beers that are riding in to the rescue. One that’s on tap at all three of\u00a0Urge Gastropub<\/strong><\/a>‘s locations in Rancho Bernardo, San Marcos and Oceanside is\u00a0Mason Ale Works Vera Lynn Double IPA<\/strong>. I can’t take any credit for the hop-bill, because it was made without any of my influence other than the “hops” mandate, but in using Citra, Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin hops, they pretty much read my mind. These are some of my favorite, big-flavor varietals and they did a brilliant job with this imperial, massively flavorful and aromatic charity beer!<\/p>\n

From the Brewer:\u00a0<\/strong>“Vera Lynn is the latest release from Mason Ale Works. It gets its name from\u00a0the Pink Floyd song ‘Vera’ and serves as\u00a0a reminder that, over time, all vanishes. The song references Vera Lynn, who turned 100 this year, and has dedicated her life to supporting charitable causes. Her relentless efforts to better this world should be an inspiration to all. Vera Lynn IPA is a collaboration to promote Lupus awareness and support Lupus research\u00a0so that one day we quote the lyrics in regards to Lupus and ask,\u00a0‘What has become of you?’ This bright and juicy imperial IPA\u00a0has been dry-hopped with two-pounds-per-barrel of Citra, Nelson and Mosaic hops, bringing some serious tropical fruit and pine to your nostrils. At 9.2% alcohol-by-volume, this sneaky little lady will have you sipping till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away. As hazy as these times seem, I know we’ll meet again some sunny day…”\u2014Jason De La Torre<\/em>, Research & Development\u00a0Brewer,\u00a0Mason Ale Works<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
