Can You Say Riwaka?
The year might be MARCHing right along (see what I did there), but all we want is the Riwaka HOP!
No, that’s not the latest craze in TikTok dances but rather a newer hop variety from New Zealand that punches up one of our fan-favorite hazy IPAs “All Disco, No Panic”.
Most recently, All Disco, No Panic featured all Citra hops, a delicious but fairly common hop variety out of North America. As part of our rotating hop series, where we keep the same base beer but switch out new hops with each version, All Disco, No Panic now embraces its hop cousin from “down undah,” Riwaka (ree-wah-kah).
Riwaka was first developed in 1996 from Old World Saaz hops. While its restrained level of alpha acids means the bitterness isn’t overwhelming, Riwaka excels in delicious hop oils, landing an amazing flavor punch with each sip. You’ll also pick up on notes of pink grapefruit and passion fruit in this perfect hazy IPA! If you haven’t tried our latest version (Volume 8), stop by the taproom, and give it a try.
