Smog City Hāpi MiruMiru

New Zealand IPA

5.5% ABV

For this crushable New Zealand IPA, we used extra light crackery pilsner malt to add a touch of off-dry sweetness to counter the snap of piney bitterness. We used all southern hemisphere hops from New Zealand and Australia focusing on delicate tropical fruit notes of lychee and viognier grapes backed up by floral notes of honeysuckle. At 5.5% this is going to be a beautiful all day drinker for our last weeks of warm weather.

Smog City Hāpi MiruMiru is a collaboration with our friends at Stereo Brewing Company in Placentia! We wanted to challenge ourselves with this beer by creating a niche hoppy style that is super duper light in color and balances hop profiles while keeping the beer drinkable and refreshing.

What’s in a name? Hāpi Mirumiru means “Hop bubble” in Māori. The name pays homage to the land where these exquisite hops came from while evoking a sense of fun playfulness- much like how we approached this beer and how we hope you feel while enjoying it. Kia ora!⁠
