It’s technically spring now, so I’m bringing in some tropical, hopical flavor onto the sill today!
Aside from making great beer, New Belgium Brewing Company also prides itself in being among the most environmentally and socially responsible breweries in the country. From purchasing to packaging, everything CEO Kim Jordan does is meant to leave the smallest CO2 footprint possible. They use water from the Colorado River, sustainable hops and barley, and lots of alternative natural energy wherever they can. They make $225 Million in revenue per year, proving that you don’t have to destroy the planet to run a successful company. Oh, and they actually believe in global warming!
The Citradelic IPA is made with tangerine peel and 11 different kinds of hops. It has a smooth mouthfeel, with a sweet flavor that ends in the typical IPA bitterness we hopheads crave. New Belgian is brewing this year-round now, so go find it.
