Cowboys & Poets WC IPA, Breakside (4pk)

Breakside teamed up with friends Jake, Alex, and Abe from Colorado’s Westbound & Down to brew an IPA in the spirit of “more is more,” chasing maximal hop expression and fresh flavor territory. Combining modern West Coast IPA techniques from both breweries, the recipe showcases HBC 586—celebrated for its exotic stonefruit and rhubarb aromas—as the undisputed star. Mosaic and Simcoe play supporting roles, adding familiar layers of resin and berry. With dip hopping at knockout, a touch of wheat for body, elevated bitterness reminiscent of old-school IPAs, and careful cellar work for lasting foam, the result is an IPA designed to satisfy both materially and spiritually. After all, anyone who loves making West Coast IPA needs to be part cowboy and part poet.
