Coronado Twenty-Fifth Anniversary San Diego-style India Pale Ale

Coronado Twenty-Fifth Anniversary San Diego-style India Pale Ale.

7.5 % ABV. Coronado Brewing, San Diego, CA. 


And now for a beer that I know I'm going to enjoy. Just look at it. It has me all over it. 

Clear, bright golden hue, slim white head. 

In the nose: Highly hopped. Citrus and pine. Fresh and lively. 

In the mouth: Crisp and bright. Good blast of hop bitterness starts it off. Snappy. Not soft or hazy. Not pillowy at all. Nothing but hops on the palate. Just the way I like it. Bursting with citrusy goodness, orange, lemon, grapefruit. And not a note of tropical on the side. Sweetness kept wholly at bay. IPA as it was meant to be, baby. 

Twenty-Fifth Anniversary IPA


25 years is a long time. It’s a ¼ of a century. It’s two and a half decades. Needless to say, we’ve learned a few things over the last 25 years brewing in San Diego. We’ve learned how to brew award-winning IPAs and how to cook the perfect fish taco. We’ve learned what it means to “stay coastal” and that supporting our fellow SD Brewers is really what it’s all about. While this beer celebrates a milestone in the CBC story, we know this is still just the beginning. So, let’s raise two pints this time. One for the last 25 years and one for the next.

Cheers & Stay Coastal!
