Crooked Stave is excited to announce the release of Lupulin Gumbo, a Juicy IPA brewed in collaboration with Vermont-based brewery Lawson’s Finest Liquids. Named in tribute to Phish’s “Gumbo”, this limited release combines the brewing techniques of both breweries, highlighting the tropical, citrus flavors of the unique hop combination and resulting in a juicy, 7% ABV IPA hopped with Talus, Vista and HBC 630.
“We are so excited to debut this collaboration beer with Crooked Stave in Colorado! With intense floral notes and some stone fruit notes as well, Talus hops have a truly unique character that is unlike any other hop I’ve brewed with,” said Sean Lawson, founding brewer of Lawson’s Finest Liquids. “Blending Talus into the hop varieties that make up this Lupulin Gumbo is reminiscent of Phish seamlessly blending the diverse elements of rock, funk, and jazz into every set.”
The breweries are also hosting a Phish pre-show event, where beer and music lovers can meet the brewers and sip on Lupulin Gumbo next Thursday before heading to Dicks:

“Our collaboration with Lawson’s Finest Liquids is a testament to our shared passion for brewing. We believe beer enthusiasts will appreciate the creativity and hops in this IPA,” said Danny Oberle, Director of Operations at Crooked Stave.
