Eric Bassett, head brewer at Innovation Brew Works (IBW), spoke with radio hosts from KNX 1070 AM in recognition of National Beer Day on April 7th, 2023.
Bassett offered recommendations for novice beer drinkers like IBW’s popular “Magic School Bus,” a fruity kettle-sour with sweet and tart notes. He also touched on the IPA craze that runs rampant in most breweries nowadays and how IBW strives to provide variety for customers through its vast collection of beers. “Being on a college campus, I want to offer the students and customers the wide variety of beers that are around and get them out of that rut of the IPA,” Bassett says. “Show them what the differences are, and finding a beer you never knew about and now it’s your favorite.”
Additionally, Bassett mentions how his students have transformed from homebrewers to local brewery owners thanks to IBW’s learn-by-doing brewery program.
In honor of National Beer Day, a new beer was introduced into IBW’s repertoire, a coffee-infused Collins Cream Nitro beer— a smooth experience with a light bitterness from the real coffee beans. Make sure to stop by IBW to try it out!
