This beer is named after and brewed for the art, music, and beer festival that Collective Arts Brewing hosted back in June. Some of the most celebrated craft breweries from across the globe made the trek to Hamilton to pour at Liquid Art Festival. Notables include Omnipollo from Stockholm, Mikkeller from Copenhagen, Other Half from Brooklyn, Founders from Grand Rapids, and many more. BC’s brewers were well represented too, as Dageraad, Four Winds, and Twin Sails set up shop at the Fest.

Back to the beer…

Liquid Art Fest IPA comes in at a fairly mellow 5.9% ABV. It features Citra & Simcoe hops, and Vermont ale yeast. Lactose, oats, passion fruit and mango puree, and vanilla were added to the mix which results in a very flavourful, unfiltered beer. If you have the “haze craze” (who doesn’t at this point) you’re going to go nuts for this limited release from Collective Arts.
