DURANGO, CO— Starting this week on shelves across the nation, Ska Brewing makes its bold return to West Coast IPA. Ska West Coast IPA is a modernized version of this classic American beer style, crafted with a plethora of contemporary hops. 

Ska debuted this beer over Super Bowl weekend at its World Headquarters in Durango, and now you can find it year-round on draft and in cans across Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, New Mexico, and Utah. 

Ska Brewing is home to Colorado’s OG IPA in a can, Modus Hoperandi, which was classic old-school West Coast IPA: super dank aromas, huge bitterness, and amber in color with a full body. Ska West Coast IPA follows the present-day versions which are light and crisp, have moderate hop bitterness, and super piney and citrus aromas. 

“Ska West Coast IPA uses a blend of modern hop varietals that weren’t even available two decades ago; and, even more importantly, modern hop products which are focused on providing a huge punch of citrus and pine character without the grassy, vegetal notes found in older versions of this style,” says Ska Brewing Production Manager Chris Kurr.

Ska’s new West Coast IPA is brewed with Cryo Mosaic, Cryo Citra, Alora, Eureka, CGX Idaho 7, and Strata Hyperboost, an amalgam of hops that pack a dank punch with citrus, peach and stone fruit notes. An incredibly smooth finish, approachable IBUs, and a bumpin’ can design round out this year-round offering.

Media inquiring about Ska’s latest IPA can contact Emily Hutto at hutto at radcraftbeer dot com.
