Gigantic Brewing - Czech Your Cold IPA

Gigantic Brewing Company, with Upright Brewing Company, announces the release of Czech Your Cold IPA - a beer so clean, crisp and drinkable, you’ll ask yourself, “Is this an IPA or a Pilsner?” Upright founder Alex Ganum posed the question of what would happen if we brewed an Imperial Pilsner like an IPA. Would it be a cold IPA? Czech. A Pilsner? Czech. Grab your ‘ushanka’ and bundle up for an inverted journey around Cold IPA by two of Portland’s most nonconforming breweries. Czech Your Cold IPA is a Czech Lager made like an ale. It is a light bodied beer with hints of lemongrass, lemon peel, a quintessential hoppiness, and a subtle dry finish. We used 100% Bohemian pilsner malt to create a clean base, adding Czech Saaz hops and Oregon grown Mt Hood and Crystal hops to invoke the hoppy exuberance of West Coast IPAs. Whereas a standard cold IPA is an IPA brewed more like a lager, our beer is a lager brewed more like an IPA. If you asked us, “Do we like to brew IPAs or Pilsner?” Czech. Czech!
