Late Harvest I.P.A.

India Pale Ale with New England hops!

Celebrate the arrival of this year’s fresh barley malt and hop crops! We have once again brewed a deep golden, unfiltered I.P.A. which showcases a sweet, toasty malt palate but is ultimately dominated by the deep, wonderful, resinous, spicy, floral character of the blessed hop vine. Simcoe, Chinook, Amarillo and Columbus hop varieties were all used throughout the kettle boil. For the dryhopping addition, homegrown fresh hops from the CBC patio, plus hops grown by our longtime friend Jonathan Bloomberg in Vasselboro, Maine. In the early1990’s Jon was one of the first hop growers in New England since the early 20th Century, and was famous in the brewing world for his hops grown in Thetford, VT. Now he’s started a new hop farm in collaboration with CBC’s own Brewmaster, Will Meyers. This beer invites you to revel in its arrival, full of fresh piney, herbal and citrus character with a significant lingering hop finish.

Cheers!

Testimonials

  • Hey, this place is fantastic! Who knew?
    Oh. Everyone but me, apparently.

    Tamar A., Cambridge, MA

  • As a budding beer snob, their beers are to die for. I like the dark ones, and everything I've ever had here has left me quite pleased. You really can't go wrong, no matter what you order.

    Calvin F., Cambridge, MA

  • Fantastic beer! Great beer events, parties, and dinners! Creative, friendly, and warm. Delicious food! I am also impressed they make an effort to serve grain-fed beef and local ingredients. Plus, they send their grains to local farms I believe. So cool.

    Mike H., Jamaica Plain, MA

  • Beer + consistency = awesome. CBC had great beer the first time "micros" were trendy (mid-90s), great beer after the bubble burst, and it still has great beer now that "craft beer" is trendy again.
