Stoup Brewing Citra IPA is the real deal, folks. Surely, Bale Breaker with its fancy hop fields and recently selected Seattle Beer Week 2017 official beer would have too much firepower for Walking Man Brewing and their flagship IPA, right? Au contraire hopheads! But, Walking Man IPA faces the IPA that took down Elysian Space Dust, Cloudburst Alternative Facts IPA and Georgetown Bodhizafa. That said, most prognosticators still assumed the Columbia Gorge area brewed IPA would go down when facing number one seed Bale Breaker Topcutter IPA followed its stronger brother, No. Number 13 seed Walking Man IPA has killed it so far in the Tournament of Beer. Walking Man IPA, Walking Man Brewing (240 First St., Stevenson) Citra IPA, Stoup Brewing (1108 NW 52nd St., Seattle) vs. Shift Trade is easy drinking with mango, apricot, and pineapple notes and a solid, slightly toasty malt core. Goat Boater is triple dry hopped with Amarillo, Mosaic, Centennial, Cascade for tropical fruit and dank notes. Rainy Daze Goat Boater IPA and Top Rung Shift Trade IPA have mounted quite a tear through the Tournament of Beer. Municipal fire fighters across the country are allowed to “shift trade” and still be paid according to their regular work schedules.

Founder and head brewer Mike Montoney wanted to pay tribute to his new home so he named his new IPA Goat Boater, which is slang for kayaker. Shift Trade IPA, Top Rung Brewing Company (8343 Hogum Bay Lane N.E, Lacey)īesides people riding bicycles munching on pickled fish and chanting “Børk! Børk! Børk” the other curious happening Rainy Daze Brewing noticed as it was moving into Sound Brewery’s former facility in Poulsbo was the frequent kayakers paddling on nearby Liberty Bay.
