Collaboration Began During 2019 Hop Harvest, Highlights Dedication to Hops Innovation, Craft Brew Creativity and Craftsmanship

HOUSTON, TEXAS, USA, April 28, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today Urban South Brewery, whose mission is to inspire community and fellowship through the gospel of good beer, in partnership with John I. Haas, Inc., a world-leading hops supplier and innovator, proudly announced the immediate availability of two new flavorful craft brews: SWAB IPA and Nothing is Under Control DIPA.

Short for “Super Whirlpool Aroma Booster,” SWAB IPA uses John I. Haas’ INCOGNITO^® flowable hop-flavoring product to create an aroma described as “orange zest and peel jumping right out of the glass.” The beer also features a flavor profile with a sweet, tropical undertone, containing just enough bitterness to make each sip refreshing.

For the new Nothing is Under Control Double IPA, Urban South tested an exclusive new hop product from John I. Haas, combining it with INCOGNITO SABRO™. This combination unleashes an aroma profile that starts straight banana and moves to a floral character, driven by the mix of added raspberry and the coconut of the SABRO. The flavors are complex, spanning tart raspberry to coconut and pineapple, plus bitter hops, all balanced by a malt and banana sweetness for a tart finish that cleanses the palette.

“The creation stories of these two beers highlight what is possible when brewers and hop innovators share a sense of discovery, a passion for originality, and a collaborative drive to bring something new and beautiful to market,” said Dave Ohmer, General Manager and Brewer at Urban South - HTX. “What started as a conversation with the great John I. Haas team in Yakima during last year’s harvest turned into a six-month flavor journey – a great experience! – that brought us to our new IPA and DIPA.”

Added Micah Cawley, Midwest Regional Key Account Manager, at John I. Haas, “The Urban South Brewery team impressed us with their vision for their new craft brews and their dedication to working with us as we developed new products and combined others in new ways to realize the aroma and flavor profiles they were after. Anyone who thinks of hops as just a commodity doesn’t understand the value-add of teaming with a truly collaborative hops partner in breaking down flavor walls and producing breakthrough craft beers.”

Along with its flagship location in New Orleans, Urban South Brewery recently opened a new R&D brewery and taproom in the great city of Houston, Texas, where the new brews will be prominently featured. Both beers are now canned and available. During city-wide closures for bars and restaurants, fans can pick up beer to-go from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily, with the option to order in advance online. Urban South - HTX has also partnered with HopDrop Houston to provide a limited delivery service. To learn more, visit: https://urban-south-htx.myshopify.com/.
