Port Brewing to Release Nelson the Greeter IPA

From Port Brewing:

San Marcos, CA, -- Port Brewing Co is set to release the 2^nd iteration of Nelson the Greeter IPA this March.

Paying homage to the rather (in)famous surf spot/clothing optional beach in San Diego, Nelson the Greeter is the newest hoppy offering from Port Brewing. Using the brash flavors of Nelson hops to lead the charge, The Greeter has a strong hop-supporting cast using Denali, Lemon Drop, and Mosaic varietals to round out this IPA. Notes of Gooseberry and passion fruit dominate the nose with clean tangerine and freshly cut stone fruit notes leading to a smooth bitter citrus finish.

“Last year was the first time we've been able to brew with Nelson hops for The Greeter,” said Steve Burchill, Head Brewer of Port Brewing Co / The Lost Abbey/ The Hop Concept. “Playing off what we learned, I think we were able to bring out even more of notes of tropical fruits in this year's beer.”

Nelson the Greeter IPA will be released in both Port Brewing Tasting Rooms on Friday, March 16^th with full distribution throughout the Port Brewing network beginning the week after.
