North Park Beer Co. put Origins of Fu! in its shop for San Diego Beer Week, an 8% triple dry-hopped West Coast double IPA built on the original hop lineup from the brewery’s flagship, Hop-Fu!. The can listing went up on Nov. 9, 2026, at $24 a 4-pack, alongside two collaborations with Los Angeles’ Highland Park Brewery.
This is a can release, not a rerun of the brewery’s Beer Week event calendar. For takeovers, the Drinkabout Bus and Macaroons Day, see North Park’s official 2026 San Diego Beer Week page and our citywide Beer Week guide.
What’s in Origins of Fu!
On the Origins of Fu! product page, North Park describes the beer as a West Coast double IPA inspired by the double IPAs that influenced owner Kelsey McNair when he was homebrewing the beer that became Hop-Fu!. It is triple dry-hopped with what the brewery calls Hop-Fu!’s original squad: Amarillo, Citra DynaBoost, Citra, Citra Cryo, Columbus Cryo and Simcoe.
The brewery’s own tasting notes for Origins of Fu! are mixed berry, purple grape, tropical candy, citrus zest and a touch of dank resin, finishing dry and bitter. That language is the brewery’s, not a review.
Hop-Fu!’s World Beer Cup medals
Origins of Fu! is a double IPA cousin of Hop-Fu!, not a rebrand of the 7.5% flagship. Official World Beer Cup winner lists confirm that Hop-Fu! took gold in American-Style India Pale Ale in 2022 and silver in the same category in 2024. In 2026, it took silver in Classic India Pale Ale, a 205-entry category. North Park’s current Hop-Fu! shop listing still names only the 2022 gold and 2024 silver.
The Highland Park collabs: X-Raying Pillow and Shared Detour
X-Raying Pillow is a triple dry-hopped hazy double IPA at 8.4% ABV, also $24 a 4-pack. The brewery says it is hopped with Mosaic, Citra and Galaxy, and lists notes of fresh berries, guava, vibrant orange and peach. The shop copy also calls it “a true mashup of a couple award-winning hazies,” without naming those beers.
Shared Detour is a 5.8% West Coast pilsner, listed at $17 a 4-pack. North Park says it is dry-hopped with HBC-1134, NZ-109, Tangier, Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin and Nelson Sauvin Cryo, and describes notes of lemon, grapefruit peel, sauvignon blanc, sweet tangerine and a little rose water. All three beers were listed in stock on the official shop when we checked on Nov. 10, 2026.
Where to get Origins of Fu! during Beer Week
The shop offers beer pickup at North Park’s University Avenue taproom, the Bankers Hill taproom and the Crown Point Pizza Shop, plus a shipping option. The Full Pint, publishing the brewery’s announcement on Nov. 10, says cans can be shipped within California.
The same Full Pint write-up says a new 17-ounce Origins of Fu! Nordic tumbler, with art from the double IPA label, goes on sale Wednesday, Nov. 11, at the North Park taproom. We did not find a separate tumbler listing in the shop on Nov. 10. Saturday, Nov. 14, brings a pizza party and Highland Park tap takeover at the Crown Point Pizza Shop, which is the event that matches these two collabs; Sunday, Nov. 15, is the brewery’s fourth annual Macaroons Day at the Dark Bar in the North Park taproom. Confirm times and remaining tickets or pours on the official Beer Week page before you go.
If you only grab one 4-pack, Origins of Fu! is the beer with the backstory: a stronger, triple dry-hopped look at the hops that built Hop-Fu!. The Highland Park pair is there if you want the hazy double or the West Coast pilsner on the same run. Prices and inventory will move, so check the shop before you plan a pickup.
