Roadhouse Brewing releases latest beer in lauded Kush series

A new IPA from two stellar breweries

Two big names in the craft brewing world have teamed up for an out-of-this-world beer. The IPA is the work of Jackson Hole’s Roadhouse Brewing Company and Half Acre Beer Company in Chicago.

The Interstellar Kush IPA comes in at 7% ABV and is made with a huge hop bill, including varieties like Cascade, Stratus, and Talus. It’s the sixth release in the beer series and overflows with notes of berry, earth, and peach.

“We are very excited to introduce Interstellar Kush,” says Gavin Fine, co-founder of Roadhouse Brewing Co. “It has been a delight to team up with Half Acre, a pioneering brewery in my hometown, Chicago, who shares our enthusiasm for groundbreaking, hop-forward beers. Each release in our Kush series pushes the envelope in hop innovation and through a creative combination of top quality hops, this Tetons-meets-Midwest collab does just that.”

Like the iconic 3-Way IPA and countless other releases, this beer is one more example of the great things that can come from a good collaboration. Simply put, when you put several good brewers in a room, quality tends to be the result. The Interstellar Kush IPA is available in pint-size cans in the two brand’s traditional distribution zones. Previous Roadhouse collaborations in the series involved excellent breweres like Creature Comforts in Georgia and Odell Brewing in Colorado.

We at The Manual are fortunate to try a lot of tasty things. From one-off batches of whiskey to non-alcoholic beer, the range is vast (and so, too, is the quality). Certain well-made sippers, however, stick with you and the very best make a list like this one.

It's been a year of interesting trends, from the craft beer movement pivoting a bit stylistically to the continued growth of RTD drinks. We've come across some fascinating beverages — some average, some truly remarkable, some in between.

Bud Light’s no longer the most popular beer on draft
There's a new macro beer leader
Beer

After a long run, Bud Light is no longer king. The best-selling draft beer in America is now Michelob. It's a humbling stretch for the mega beer, which first lost out to Modelo Especial last summer as the best-selling overall beer in the land.

There's no one reason for the change but experts have been pointing to both failed as campaigns by Bud Light as well as a move by consumers towards healthier, lower calorie beers.
