Iron Fist Brewing is excited to reveal their first ever official brewing schedule. Separated into three main categories, the schedule introduces a new strategy for the brewer which is focused on more regular limited releases and variance in their taprooms.
Highlights include a monthly release of new “Small Batch Experiments,” the introduction of seasonal taproom only draft beers, at least one new addition to their core line-up as well as a few surprises to be announced during the year.
Their small batch series launched this month with a new IPL – Fresh Perspective. The category is set to serve as the brewer’s experimental playground; a space that allows the brewmaster to test out new techniques and flavor combinations that continue to push boundaries and get a little weird.
Brewmaster Tom Garcia says “we’re really excited with the prospect of having a category dedicated to experimentation. We really want to try and push the boat out a bit and offer more new beers for the core craft fans who want to try a wider spectrum of flavors.”
The distribution of Iron Fist’s core beers are currently limited to four brands – Blood Orange IPA, Counter Strike, Renegade Blonde and Summer City; only available in Southern California. This year they will be canning the entire core line-up including their new American Amber, Red Sky at Night, all of which will be for sale directly through their taproom locations.
The introduction of a “Small Beer” into their core lineup is a response to the growing demand for a low ABV option. “We are excited at the challenge of brewing a small beer with great craft taste and are convinced there is a gap to fill here. We need an option for some of our most cherished customers – the designated drivers!”
Iron Fist’s new brewing strategy is the start of a larger overhaul of their taproom experience, which, having recently expanded their Vista Brewery footprint, will continue to evolve throughout the year.
