You asked, we listened (also, we really wanted to revisit this one). This iteration of Modest West keeps the hop varieties the same but utilizes our 2025 crop year selected hops. We’ve been experimenting with increasing our boiled hop load in low-alcohol beers to improve body and texture. Between the increased kettle hop load and decoction, the beer drinks much more full and saturated than the low ABV would suggest. Hoppy, low alcohol beers are a big passion of ours, and we’re really excited about this iteration! Just in time for spring weather and patio drinkin’ (although it feels like this past winter never came and it’s been spring since last October.)

Malt: Rahr To-Thee Pils
Hops: Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe
Yeast: Chico Ale
Abv: 4.8%
Aroma: Pineapple, passionfruit, pine, cannabis
Flavor: Mango, peach, green melon rind
Palate Impact: Rich and saturated with a bitter and snappy finish.

Look for it via limited distro around town starting this week.

We’re back with a new batch of ModernOriginal, our ever-evolving, New Zealand-Style IPA.

Style: New Zealand IPA
ABV: 6.8%
Malt: Rahr North Star Pils
Hops: Citra, Nelson Sauvin, NZH-109
Yeast: Chico Ale

Modern Original is our playground to explore New Zealand hops and their unique sensory expressions. In partnership with , we’ve gained access to their Bract program- which introduces a small number of brewers to un-released experimental hops to get feedback. We previously used Bract 106 in a hoppy lager, Uncharted Paths, so were incredibly excited to be offered experimental Bract 109. The beer is ripe with distinct notes of Passionfruit, mango and lychee with a firm bitterness that reminds us of watermelon rind. Overall, NZH-109 presents incredibly tropical, and is unlike any hop we’ve used to date.

Look for Modern Original at all the usual spots starting later this week.

One of our favorite things about fall is Fresh Hop season. We’ve always admired Breakside’s fresh hop program and their commitment to using fresh hops on the cold-side of production instead of the hot side, like most brewers do. For the first year, our friends at have a new product called “Cryo Fresh” that we had to try out. They harvest whole cone hops and immediately Individually Quick Freeze (IQF) them at a fruit and berry processing plant. These frozen wet hops are then immediately run through their Cryo pellet plant which strips the leaf matter from the whole cone hops and filters out the frozen lupulin oil glands through shaker screen and then pelletizes that shake (hop kief) for brewers to use. Skipping the normal kilning step of the hop harvesting process preserves the fresh hop oils and character of them in a way that is much easier to use as a cold-side dry hop addition. Overnight shipping with dry ice got these Cryo Fresh pellets to us the day after the hops were picked! We experience aromas dripping with ripe mango and blueberries and a saturated hop flavor of mango and stone fruit. Chlorophyll and sticky cannabis linger on the palate through a firm bitterness.
