Released mere days ago from Seven Stills Brewery & Distillery, this is Slippery 8 Loop DIPA. There is always a fierce appetite for Seven Stills because they rarely make the same beer twice — that hunger is increasing exponentially for Slippery 8 — because only 30 barrels exist and a slew of out-of-towners and locals are headed right for it!

The reason why? San Francisco’s infamous Beer Week. Just to give you an idea, every year, thirsty craft beer fans from all over descend on the Bay Area for these seven days to taste the best breweries have to offer. And that means the lupulin loaded, citrus forward juice squeeze Slippery 8.

Each sip bursts of powerful white grapefruit and juicy peach thanks to a high octane blend of CTZ and Mosaic Hops. Each of these is known for their oily rich alpha acid content and you’ll taste that on display here with a bold strokes of citrus fruits (especially orange) and a quenching dry bitterness. But the real star is the interplay of versatile Mosaic and the brewery’s trademark lupulin concentrate, Loop Juice. It’s like drinking a straight-up juice cocktail of peach, nectarine, maybe even a little apricot if your tongue really gets in there! And oh my lord, the HAZE on this one is a beautiful thing!  

If you make it to SF for beer week or even if you live in the Bay Area, you’re going to be competing for a taste of this sought after brew. But we’re giving you a leg up on the hunt, because Seven Stills gave us our own Slippery 8 stash. So throw out some elbows in the big city or sit back and claim a few cans right here.
