Treading confidently in the heralded footsteps of Brooklyn Brewmaster Reserve releases ‘Manhattan Project’, ‘Backbreaker’, ‘Cookie Jar’, ‘Dark Matter’ and most recently Braggot-styled ‘Buzz Bomb’, comes ‘Detonation Ale’.
Esteemed Brooklyn Brewmaster, Garrett Oliver, says of this hoppy beast, “For about eight years now, we’ve brewed a Brooklyn-style hop monster called ‘BLAST!’ It’s a robust IPA using both British and Pacific Northwest hops. We haven’t had enough space to brew much of it, but we hear that people really enjoy BLAST! when it shows up. And it’s one of our favorite beers here at the brewery. Well, now we’d like more of you to see our hoppier side. Meet BLAST!’s big brother, Brooklyn Detonation Ale.”

Beer: Tower 10 IPA
Brewery: Karl Strauss
Style: India Pale Ale
Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass
Karl Strauss Brewing Company located in San Diego California is a product of the 80s, in a good way. According to the website, Tower 10 IPA was born “Amid a sea of neon bikinis, Tower 10 marked the spot where two college grads and a 75 year-old master brewer drew up plans for the first local craft brewery in San Diego since Prohibition.” Anything to do with bikinis, beaches and beer I am into, and a cooler full of Tower 10 IPA would be a great addition to any beach visit. Tower 10 is brewed with Chinook, Cascade and Centennial hops giving it a hop punch that San Diego brewers have a reputation for. This is a great beer to pair with spicy foods such as curry dishes.
