What's better than brewing and drinking? Ah yes--Cooking the goodies with friends. Sitting by the fireside (aka LINE group chat) roasting little river fish (probably munching on potato chips) talking smack about the latest importer snafu is becoming the ultimate fall pastime. #hopstories makes its glorious return with a "2", and with our beards longer, our skin more refined--um, I mean with a focus on Freestyle Manilita in liquid haze form? We paired our version with Freestyle Nectaron (en vogue atm) plus a touch of Mosaic CRYO--and man does the mango vibe rip. Pineapple, lychee, passionfruit. We are also getting subtle notes of pear, apricot and other sweet aromatics / woody tones. These aren't meant to be mixed (like our last crazy collabo), but def meant to be enjoyed side by side. See if you can find the similarities and contrast between the different versions and where Manilita might (or might not?) be a hop you'd like to sample more of in future elixirs. #hopstories!!
