10,000 Birds

Birds of a Feather is made with Mosaic, Citra, and Columbus hops, three of the most popular varieties of the last ten years. But at the rate breweries are releasing New England IPAs, we shouldn’t be at all surprised if one comes out next week named Homophily – perhaps with some unidentifiable fish on it.
