Fonta Flora Brewery Cowboy Coast

West Coast-style IPA brewed with heritage rice and dry-hopped with hand-selected Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka, and El Dorado [collaboration with Firestone Walker].  

Fonta Flora Cowboy Coast

COWBOY COAST was dreamed up in collaboration with Firestone Walker, a real life west coast brewery. Initially whipped up alongside the brain of Matt Brynildson, longtime head brewer at Firestone and someone we deeply admire in the brewing biz.

Leaning on his expertise on all things hops, we conjured up this beautiful west coast crusher. Now the fourth iteration of this long distance collaboration, we just can’t get enough of this one.

Mashed with a thoughtful blend of local barley and heaps of raw and regal local Carolina Gold rice, grown by our friends at Tidewater Grain Co. of Oriental, North Carolina. Intensely hopped, utilizing some Firestone techniques, with a contemplative blend of choice mosaic, motueka, nelson sauvin and el dorado. Fermented with our preferred house “westy” yeast strain for maximum crushibility.
