When a ski trip turns into a brewing collaboration, the results are dank and juicy
Telluride Brewing Co and 4 Noses Brewing Finally Team Up
TELLURIDE, CO — Longtime friends at Telluride Brewing Co and Four Noses Brewing have finally come together for their first ever collaboration brew, and they’re thrilled to announce its release this Friday, February 25th. The surprisingly crushable Juicy IPA, Possible Haze, will be available in cans and on taps statewide, for limited release.
Last month, after years of pandemic delay, Tommy Bibliowicz, Partner and Brewmaster at 4 Noses Brewing, packed up his car with ski gear and designer hops before driving to Telluride, Colorado, where his buddy Chris Fish from Telluride Brewing Co was waiting. Together, the duo brewed and then hit the slopes, living the independent craft brewers’ dream.
“Spontaneity is the foundation of all great collaborations, so when I let [Chris] Fish know I was coming to town, we knew we had to seize the opportunity,” explained Tommy. “The fact that I got to hang out with the entire Telluride Brewing crew, catch up, and drink beers made working together even better.”
Both 4 Noses Brewing and Telluride Brewing Co are passionate about IPAs, so naturally the two gravitated toward the idea of brewing one collaboratively. The culmination of two brewer’s experience, knowledge and intuition, this juicy IPA is as exciting and ‘Colorado’ as the journey this pair took to make it.
“Spontaneity is the foundation of all great collaborations, so when I let [Chris] Fish know I was coming to town, we knew we had to seize the opportunity,”
Possible Haze Juicy IPA is a deceptive 7.2% ABV, loaded with Simcoe, Strata, and Nelson Sauvin hops, sourced from three separate farms. The Simcoe hops translate to an approachable upfront bitterness, while the Strata and Nelson Savin produce a citrus/tropical fruit and white wine finish. Paired with spicy goodness like Thai food, hot wings or street tacos, this beer is the aprés ski dream.
“Collaborations like this are what make the craft brewing industry so unique and badass. We’re so fortunate to have a true family dynamic in our business,” gushed Chris Fish, Brewmaster and Co-Founder of Telluride Brewing Company. “ I always learn new things by spending time in collaborations with fellow brewers, and this project was no exception.”
Snowy days call for Possible Haze. 360 cases of Possible Haze will be distributed statewide, as well as direct at Telluride Brewing Co and 4 Noses Brewing locations. Those outside of Colorado can order Possible Haze online at TellurideBrewingCo.com - available for shipment to select states only.
