DROID DREAMS: KIWI & CALAMANSI + COSMIC IMBALANCE

On Sale: Saturday, January 22nd


Droid Dreams: Kiwi & Calamansi

EXPERIMENTAL SOUR // 6.0% // $16.9

NOTES: KIWI | LEMON | LIME

Late at night while the brewers dreamed of brewing clean lagers & classic IPAs, something in the brewery began to stir. From gaskets & tri-clamps to hoses & kegs, a little spark of life filled that which was once inanimate. Introducing the First State Brewing Droid…KV-1N! With his sense of whimsy abound, he knew the first thing he wanted to do was brew his very own beer! For hops, he picked out the experimental HBC 630 & Strata, known for their complex notes of raspberry, cherry, strawberry, peach, & passion fruit. To finish his experimentation, he added a healthy portion of Kiwi & Calamansi to the beer, giving a tart and tropical citrus finish. We sure can’t wait to see where KV-1N's delicious studies lead him next…

Cosmic Imbalance

HAZY IPA WITH MILK SUGAR // 6.0% // $16.9

LOTUS | MANDARINA BAVARIA | CITRA

This one's for the hype boys and girls who love their "milkshake" IPAs... For this unique brew, we selected the characterful hops of Lotus, Mandarina Bavaria, & Citra…think tropical notes of orange, tangerine, grapefruit, & even vanilla. Further still, we brewed with a moderate dose of lactose & orange zest, and aged on Madagascar vanilla, giving a full-on creamsicle-like experience. While slightly sweet, our version of a Hazy IPA with milk sugar remains balanced, drinkable, & noticeably hop-forward.

LEMONDROP | CASHMERE | MOTUEKA

Two short words that describe the day in and day out here at First State: Constant. Mayhem.

All jokes aside, without the dedication of our awesome team…and just a little bit of chaos…we wouldn’t get to create delicious beers for you fine folks as a living.

BLACK LOTUS

Black Lotus

Coffee Stout // 7.0% // $14.9

NOTES: COFFEE | DARK CHOCOLATE | LATTE

Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my Black Lotus, our freshly brewed Coffee Stout! Aged on Nicaraguan coffee from our friends at Little Goat Coffee Roast Co. (Newark, DE), this beer features notes of coffee, dark chocolate, and latte. Reminiscent of coffee & cream, a smidge of lactose was added for a creamy mouthfeel without adding cloying sweetness. Don’t worry though…no pastry treats were harmed during the production of this #beerflavoredbeer.
