santurce: west coast ipa

Our modern twist on a West Coast Style IPA draws inspiration from Juan's brewing experience in San Diego, CA.

Collaborating with local surfer and artist Charlie Ramirez, we crafted a label that features recurring characters found in all of Charlie's canvas pieces. At the forefront is his main character, affectionately known as "Totchi", short for Totally Chill.

Charlie, a self-taught artist, transitioned from professional surfing to pursue a career in art, and his work has been a constant source of inspiration on our journey. We're incredibly honored to collaborate with him.

The label design process was an immersive month-long endeavor, during which Charlie handcrafted around 15 sketches. We then digitalized his artwork. Inspired from the colors of his art pieces, we settled on blue and pink as the dominant colors for the label.

Our IPA is meticulously crafted with a single step infusion mash, featuring 2Row Malt, Carapils, and White Wheat Malt, along with Nelson and Citra hops. Fermented with White Labs WWLP 001 yeast, this brew delivers a clear, dry, and boldly hop-forward profile that's both drinkable and aromatic.

Here's to celebrating art and collaboration!
