Towers was a small batch homebrew that our Head Brewer Eric created in the early days of S&O while he was still a brewing assistant and part-time tasting room employee. We were big on multi-tasking back then.
We liked it so much we promoted him to Head Brewer! (note: this isn’t exactly how it happened) He wanted to marry the dank malty notes of a West Coast IPA with the floral and citrus notes of Earl Grey tea in one crisp, smooth and satisfying beer.
Steeped on Organic Earl Grey from our boardwalk neighbours at Great Wall Tea Co, this West Coast IPA balances notes of bitter spruce, bergamot and black tea on a malty backbone.
