TapRoom Beer Co. DAMP. Wet Hop WC IPA

The brewing program at TRBC is centered by one primary goal: to share our experiences with our customers. We are blessed by our community of travels wherein inspiration and encouragement ring aloud.

Fresh-hop brewing has always been a passion of ours, but it wasn’t until the most recent years, having learnt the depth that this momentary opportunity of ingredients has to offer, we sought to heighten our contribution in the Southern California region. We believe fresh-hop beers in SoCal need the love they deserve.

The quality of fresh-hop beers, the beauty of fresh-hop beers…you have to go see it, the Pacific Northwest in fall is ripe with excitement for our most salient flavor maker.

When conceiving DAMP., our goal was to showcase a multifaceted execution of wet-hop character, within a modern West Coast IPA saturation, while utilizing newly developed ingredients.

We worked with the wonderful team at CLS Farms in Moxee, Washington, to bring in a pile of wet-hop Citra (our favorite varietal), for a dosing rate of nearly 12 pounds-per-barrel. After a standard fermentation, we layered in multiple dry-hop additions, seeing a combination of hand-selected T90 and Cryo pellets, before finishing with Cryo Fresh pellets from Yakima Chief Hops. This approach netted a depth of fresh-hop and modern-hop intensity.

Why DAMP.? Because it is the perfect marriage of fresh-hop influence and smashingly dense dry-hop character, appealing to IPA lovers of all ilk’s.
