Oedipus Gaia

A West Coast IPA brimming with refreshing hoppy and fruity flavors, Gaia wondrously combines earthly fertility with cosmic inspiration.

Gaia is an American, West Coast-style IPA. Here we not only amped up the hops, but everything else too!

The beer starts with a solid layer of base and some colored malts, which results in a 7% ABV beer. The malt bill and mashing regime of Gaia is all about creating enough body to mellow out its bitterness. By using hop varieties high in alpha acids during the boil – in order to derive sufficient flavor – it is crucial to counter the bitterness of these hop additions with the base beer.

We use four different American hop varieties – Cascade, Columbus, Chinook and Centennial – throughout the boil, which contribute piney and resinous flavors. Post-fermentation we dry hop with the same four hop varieties plus Amarillo, which lends a bit of fruitiness.

Gaia is literally the mother of Mama – not just because it has more hops, but since it also uses the same yeast strain that is both clean and slightly sweet.
