The Name

Located south of Brisbane, the Gold Coast is famed for its long sandy beaches, surfing spots, and elaborate inland canals and waterways.  This beer was named, referencing this area of Australia for its surfing spots and beaches as well as the complex network of waterways, because of the complex nature of the beer itself.

Beer Facts

While it is still an IPA, Hazy IPAs are generally not as bitter as their more traditional counterparts while exhibiting much more in the way of aroma and flavor from the hops.  Having only a single, late addition and being dry-hopped twice over the course of fermentation and conditioning, Gold Coast is not an exception but 100% unique.

The Pairings

Asparagus and artichokes, goat cheese, pork.
