Nitro beers are known for their captivating cascade and smooth creaminess. Yet, for many, nitro is solely linked to stout. We experimented with all sorts of beer styles and discovered that nitro truly can be the missing fifth beer ingredient.

One of my favorite memories as a youngster was having breakfast with my father. Most often it was something quick and easy. I would eat as fast as I could before I rushing outside for the school bus waiting at the end of the driveway. Quite often, we ate sliced grapefruit with a little sugar sprinkled on top. When I tried the new Rebel Grapefruit IPA for the first time, I was whisked back to the memory of eating grapefruit with my father.
This IPA does a great job of balancing the hop character with the citrusy acidity of the grapefruit with a backbone of subtle malt character – Heck, I may even have one for breakfast!
TASTING NOTES
Brewed with real grapefruit for an added punch of citrusy goodness that amplifies the tropical fruit and citrus notes from the hops. A hint of juiciness rounds out the bitterness and brings a refreshing finish to this bold, bright, thirst-quenching IPA.
6.3% ABV, 52 IBUs, 8 SRM
BREWING NOTES
- The combination of grapefruit juice and peel delivers the distinct bright juicy tartness of the fruit that enhances the citrusy and “juicy” flavors from the Mosaic and Citra hops.
- We use Star Ruby and Star Rio red grapefruit grown in Southern California. The peel is added in the kettle to impart a tart, sharp character while the juice is added right before filtration for a big, grapefruit juiciness that rounds out the touch of bitterness from the peel and hops.
- Mosaic hops known for their great tropical fruit, citrus, & berry notes, are relatively new to the scene released in ‘12 but we first began experimenting
Available now on Draught – Package coming in January

Both of these products are exceptionally made but distinctively different. Coney Island Hard Ginger Ale is a smooth, clean, sweeter tasting product.

I can see many people drinking these products at their family gatherings this holiday season – Don’t forget you can always substitute your favorite “ginger ale” recipes with the hard version for the adults!

I’ve included a brief history on Ginger Ale from the Ginger Ale Authority:
The History of Ginger Ale
Ginger Ale has a long history, spanning over three centuries and two continents. While it is impossible to nail down the exact date of its creation, ginger ale history likely started out as a homemade concoction in England and Ireland around the 1840s. More like a ‘ginger-ade’ than a soda; these beverages resembled homemade tonics and could likely be described as sugar water with a kick of ginger root. Make no mistake; these were not your mainstream Coca-Cola-style sodas.
Naturally, the beverage made its way across the Atlantic to the eastern coast of the United States and ginger sodas were popping up in New York City by 1850. By the 1860s, Ginger Ale was beginning to develop into what we now call the ‘Golden’ style. Golden ginger ale had a very sweet and bubbly texture, with a strong ginger punch. Vernors claims to be one of these first brands. The story goes that Pharmacist James Vernor left an experimental barrel in his barn in 1862, just before joining the Union Army in the Civil War. Upon his return in 1866 he tasted the barrel-aged flavor and, ta-da, “Golden” Ginger Ale was born! http://gingeraleauthority.com/
