Cloudwater Brew Co. Back On Boogie St (Crop Year 2019 Columbus 13 Single Hop IPA)

In the early 70s, while Chuck Zimmerman was in heated discussions over the rights to Columbus, or Tomahawk (to use its trademark name), another Zimmerman by the name of Tucker released Ten Songs. Years later, in the early 2000s, by which time Columbus had firmly established itself as a favourite hop used to add backbone and bitterness to APAs and Pale Ales, Ten New Songs, a masterful album by Leonard Cohen was released. Columbus isn’t new, and may no longer occupy a prime position, but like those classic records of days gone, that don’t make it junk.
