Tennessee Brew Works Announces Collaboration with Yakima Chief Hops and White Labs to Create Savage Gulf, a New Cold IPA

NASHVILLE, Tenn.— Tennessee Brew Works is excited to announce their collaboration with Yakima Chief Hops and White Labs to create a new Cold IPA called Savage Gulf. This west coast-style IPA is named after the recently opened Savage Gulf State Park, the 57th state park in Tennessee.

Savage Gulf is a bright and refreshing Cold IPA with a 6% ABV. It was created using a combination of Simcoe, Talus, and YCH 602 Trial hops, along with Pilsner Malt. The result is a well-balanced IPA with a crisp and clean finish.

“We are thrilled to be collaborating with Yakima Chief Hops and White Labs on this new cold IPA,” said Matt Simpson, Head Brewer at Tennessee Brew Works. “We wanted to create a beer that celebrates the natural beauty of Tennessee, and what better way to do that than by naming it after one of our newest state parks?”

Savage Gulf will be released on Friday, May 5, 2023, at Tennessee Brew Works in conjunction with the Craft Brewer’s Festival in Nashville. It will also be available at limited retailers and state parks across Tennessee soon thereafter.

“We are thrilled to work with Tennessee Brew Works on this exciting new beer,” said Lisa White, Vice President at White Labs. “Our focus on quality and innovation aligns with Tennessee Brew Works’ commitment to using local and sustainable ingredients in their brewing process.”

James Zarzour, Regional Sales Manager – South at Yakima Chief Hops added, “Savage Gulf is a testament to the unique flavors and aromas that can be achieved through the careful selection of hop varieties and innovative hop blends. When paired with a brewer as skilled as Matt Simpson, you achieve a beer with the quality of Savage Gulf. We are honored to partner with Tennessee Brew Works to bring this exceptional beer to craft beer enthusiasts across Tennessee.”

Savage Gulf is the latest addition to Tennessee Brew Works’ lineup of award-winning craft beers. The brewery is committed to using local and sustainable ingredients in all their beers, and they are dedicated to creating unique and flavorful brews that reflect the spirit of Tennessee.
