From the Beer Writer:\u00a0<\/strong>In its simplest form, beer can serve as a delicious form of refreshment able to put a positive spin on one’s mood. Then there are those rare times when a beer can serve as a tribute to a special person. Such is the case with\u00a0Himmelbrew<\/strong>, an India pale ale (IPA) created in memory of\u00a0Joey Himmelberg<\/strong>, the late friend of\u00a0Gina Champion-Cain<\/strong>, the CEO of\u00a0The Patio Group<\/strong><\/a>. Before his unexpected passing, Himmelberg enjoyed surfing at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. So, when The Patio Group opened a new restaurant in that coastal municipality,\u00a0The Patio on 101<\/strong><\/a>, it sectioned off a bar, dubbing it “Himmelberg’s,” and called on downtown San Diego’s\u00a0Mission Brewery<\/strong><\/a> to develop a signature beer that would only be available at the new venue. Designed to be “fruity,” it offers flavors akin to peach and orange followed by grapefruit-pith bitterness. A touch of caramel character takes it to old-school West Coast IPA territory, while a lighter body primes it for enjoyment under beachy sunshine (or moonlight) in tandem with cool breezes and the crashing of the waves that its namesake so adored.<\/p>\n

From the Brewer:<\/strong>\u201cFor us, it was really exciting to collaborate with a restaurant group that I, personally, have been a fan of for quite some time. When Daymon\u00a0Ast<\/strong>, our sales manager, introduced me to Billy Nordmeier<\/strong>, the Director of Hospitality, and the idea came to life, I was pretty excited because his idea and mine aligned with a hop-forward, super-fruity, drier IPA. We used a very clean malt bill with a large whirlpool and dry-hop consisting only of Mosaic and Citra hops, which happens to be my favorite hop combo. Both varieties are prized for their floral, fruity and very aromatic qualities. The souls of the hops really shine through, but it\u2019s when we add them to the beer that also makes a big difference. The resulting beer is a 6.2% IPA that has notes of tropical fruit bursting from the glass, and it\u2019s a beer that we are extremely proud of. The\u00a0Himmelbrew\u00a0is drinkable, very food-friendly and not drowning in alcohol. The hops shine through and work with the clean malt bill for a wonderful balance.\u201d\u2013Cody Morris<\/i><\/strong>, Head Brewer & Operations Manager, Mission Brewery<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
