Collab Day: Shred Beer Co., Wondrous Brewing Co. and Berkeley Yeast

It’s time to talk West Coast IPA with Shred Beer Co. and Wondrous Brewing Co.! These two breweries along with Berkeley Yeast recently combined their West Coast acumen to brew two collabs with the same recipes. The only difference? Ale and lager yeast.

Our brand ambassador, Tim Sciascia, speaks with the owners of Shred and Wondrous to learn about their approach to brewing award-winning hoppy ales and lagers.

These topics and more are addressed as the group discusses their processes through the context of our two group collaborations: Hot Headed West Coast IPA (get the recipe) and Cool Headed Cold IPA (get the recipe).
