Collab with Pizza Port; tropical west coast IPA with a bitter hoppy finish
Cryo Currency – by TapRoom
We set out to brew a 100% cryo hopped IPA with a definitive West Coast profile, so yeah… it’s bitter. Cryo hops are any lupulin lover’s dream, packed with nearly double the amount of resinous compounds and oils for maximum lupulin flavor and aroma, which is why we love ‘em! We Double Dry Hopped to full saturation with some of our favorites, Cascade & Simcoe, alongside Ekuanot lending to big notes of tangerine, candied lime, melon, papaya, stone fruit and just a touch of pine. Just in time for the weekend at an easy drinking 6.8%, we are really loving this one and we hope you do too!

COLLABORATIONS
AleSmith / TapRoom BoxCar Speedway Stout
BoxCar Speedway, a collaboration between SD TapRoom & AleSmith brewed to celebrate TapRoom’s 10 yr. Anniversary, is an Imperial Stout Aged in Premium Bourbon Barrels for one year with Madagascar Vanilla Beans, Brazil Forastero Cocoa Nibs, Hatch & Mulato Chilis, and a unique of blend of Columbian & Burundi Coffee locally roasted by Swell Coffee. This year will debut during our 10 year Anniversary party.
The Coffee:
Swell Coffee Co. supplied us with a unique blend of ultra premium Columbian & Burundi coffees, designed to hold up to the strength of this beer, while imparting their own nuanced flavor characteristics.
25% Peaberry grade coffee from Kayanza, Burundi in Africa. Peaberry grade coffee is produced from a natural mutation of the bean inside the cherry, where only a single bean is present inside the cherry providing a denser, sweet, and flavorful coffee.
Tasting Notes: Peach & Butterscotch
75% Finca La Virgen de Oro from Antioquia, Columbia, this is a true Estate coffee meaning it’s beans are milled and packed at the farm, unlike any other Columbian coffee.
Tasting Notes: Strawberry, Floral, Sweet Pepper, & Molasses.
The Chilies:
We used a blend of Hatch & Mulato chilies to further add to the complexity of this beer while contributing a touch of back end heat. The Hatch chilies provide a sweet earthiness, while the Mulato Chilies contribute notes of chocolate, cherry, & tobacco.
Cocoa Nibs & Vanilla Beans:
BoxCar was also aged on Brazil Forastero Cocoa Nibs and a healthy dose of Bourbon Madagascar Vanilla beans, which accentuate the sweeter, complex, whiskey character.
A host of resources, time, & passion went into the making of this collaboration, which we believe come through in the finished product. We are humbled to finally be able to share this project with everyone. Cheers from AleSmith & TapRoom team, enjoy!
