Pirate Life Brewing Yakima Chief West Coast IPA

ABV: 6.8%

Pirate Life is pretty synonymous with West Coast IPAs, it’s what we cut our teeth on as a brewery, and, after all these years, we still love drinking them…which should come as no surprise.

Crafted in collaboration with legendary US hop growers, Yakima Chief Hops, this one was designed by PL Co-Founder, Red. And, given this is his last week with us, it’s a pretty precious brew. 

Red’s brought us some exceptional recipes over the years (including our iconic founding froths) and this one sits deservedly beside them. As you’d expect, there’s some stomping hop strains on offer, plus a sturdy malt bill to back it up.

Enjoy a golden pour and crystal clear filter. Aromas of citrus, pine, and biscuit waft from the collar, which settles thick and white. On the palate, it’s as bold as this big man himself, and that’s oh so fine with us.

Cheers for everything, Redman, let’s knock back a few this weekend.
