If you're looking for a lesson in the deliciousness of Simcoe hops, drink this beer! We added loads of Simcoe Cryo hops in the whirlpool and in the dry hop. We threw a little Citra in there to keep it honest, but if you're searching for the citrus and pine that only Simcoe can deliver, this beer is for you!

Hoping to hit on a hop profile that would shoot this beer to Seattle stardom and eternal cameo appearances on local fundraising television specials, we brought a posse of Sabro,Vic Secret, Mosaic Cryo and Columbus Cryo hops for a tropical and earthy dankness (with a little pine and citrus, also). This is Seattle after all. Gotta keep it dank as hell, but, you know, approachable.

This beer is inspired by American poet Emma Lazarus who wrote MOTHER OF EXILES in 1883 to raise money for the construction of the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. It was originally brewed as part of the #beertrumpshate campaign but it is clear that immigrant and refugee crises can happen anytime and anywhere. Every time this beer comes into our rotation it will highlight a community in need and proceeds will be donated to an organization addressing those needs. This year we are supporting ReWA (Refugee Women's Alliance). The beer highlights our love of Galaxy hops. We boosted Galaxy's huge tropical fruit aroma and flavor with a little Citra (another one of our favorites) so that the beer packs a massive hop nose and finishes with a clean, firm bitterness.
