Capital of Craft IPA is back for SD Beer Week!

​Honoring San Diego’s world-renowned craft beer community, Capital of Craft IPA is brewed annually in collaboration with eight SDBG brewery members. The West Coast-style IPA is released on the first day of San Diego Beer Week. For 2022 SDBW, the specialty beer will be served on tap and in 16-ounce six-packs throughout San Diego County for a limited time starting Friday, November 4.

2022 Capital of Craft IPA
ABV: 6.8% IBU: 45
​HOPS: El Dorado, Sitiva, Mourtere and Nectaron

FLAVOR PROFILE: Crisp, tropical fruit-forward hoppy ale/lager hybrid. The use of Hana barley malts, which is a Czech heirloom variety, delivers an authentic, complex Pilsner malt flavor. The hop profile gives 2022 Capital of Craft IPA notes of tropical fruit and citrus. You can expect clean flavors to showcase the malts and hops from fermenting at a cooler temperature and blending in lager yeast. CHEERS TO SAN DIEGO CRAFT BEER!
