Hop Stoopid (DIPA) (2026) | Lagunitas Brewing Company | Beer Review | #2866
In this review, I'm going to take a look at another beer from the Lagunitas Brewing Company (@LagunitasBrewing), and it's their Hop Stoopid, the 2026 release. This is a Double IPA that is brewed and dry-hopped with Columbus, Simcoe and Chinook hops. A returning favorite from Lagunitas, this is a beer that I haven't had since the early-to-mid 2010s, and I never really cared for it because back then, I wasn't a huge fan of intensely bitter beers. Nowadays? SIGN ME UP! I'm stoked to see what I thin

Another brand-new brewery to me, they opened their doors in late Summer of last year, and I've heard some great things about them. As somebody who is in their "West Coast phase," I'm expecting this one to be quite tasty. Let's find out! I also want to give a huge thanks to

In this review, I'm going to take a look at another hop water from Hop Butcher For The World (@hopbutcherfortheworld6501), and it's their Tropical Hop Water For The World. This is made with Citra, Mosaic and El Dorado hops. I've reviewed Hop Butcher's base offering of this one back in late 2024, and I really enjoyed it, so I hope this tropical-laden variant is just as good, if not better. Also, I want to give a huge thanks to Hop Butcher for hooking me up with this one! Link to Hop Butcher For T
