Collab Day: Green Cheek, Alvarado St. Brewery and Berkeley Yeast

Collab Day: Green Cheek, Alvarado St. Brewery and Berkeley Yeast

We sat down with the founders of Green Cheek Beer Co. (GCBC) and Alvarado Street Brewery (ASB) to discuss our collaborative Double Dry-Hopped Hazy Double IPA “Smiles for Miles” that was brewed with Berkeley Yeast’s TROPICS™ London yeast and released on 5/6/25. Hear from J.C. Hill of ASB as he discusses the way he employs TROPICS™ London and TROPICS BOOST™, an all-natural additive that increases tropical aroma, in his thiol heavy Hazy IPA “Cold Pressed.” Listen as Evan of GCBC walks through the hop selection process and picks J.C.’s brain on what makes working with the passionfruit, grapefruit and guava aromas of our TROPICS™ strains so special. 

Be sure to watch the end of the video when a special guest drops by Green Cheek to say hello!
