Beer of the Week 8/2: Gripah

Beer: Gripah

Type: IPA

ABV: 5.5%

Brewer: Cisco Brewers

Location: Nantucket, MA

Full disclosure, we're big suckers for grapefruit IPA’s. The tartness of the grapefruit and the hoppiness of an IPA is a great pair. The Gripah IPA, however, should not be lumped together with all the other grapefruit beers.

What really sets this beer apart is that the grapefruit adds a burst of crispness and citrus without overpowering the entire beer. The addition of real grapefruit zest creates an amazing aroma that brings everything together.

We love pairing beers with their ideal situation/scenario. Gripah is the perfect beach beer (see the wonderful photography work by BeerSeeker Nick above), backyard-summer-night beer, or top-of-a-mountain-on-a-beautiful-day beer. Enjoy summer folks!
