Protector Organic Hazy IPA

Organic New England Style IPA

One night in Iraq, SEAL team member Sean Haggerty felt like having a beer. It was his third tour, he’d just come back from a raid, and it seemed like the thing to do. The problem was, there was no craft beer around … so he made some. Years later, after his service, Haggerty started homebrewing. Those efforts eventually gave birth, in 2017, to Protector Brewery in San Diego, CA. At one point, Haggerty’s then girlfriend (now wife) suggested he look at organic ingredients. Her suggestion gave the brewery a firm direction.

As the moniker suggests, Protector Brewery was conceptualized by people who have always felt a strong urge to protect.  While at one point that meant serving this great nation during a time of war, it has since evolved. Protector is determined to create a legacy within the beer community by doing our part to assist in the sustainability, overall health, and welfare of our planet for generations to come.

We believe that we are temporary stewards of this natural world, and that organic methods support our entire interconnected web of life in the best way possible.

(Protector Brewery)

The Organic Hazy IPA uses an organically developed A38 Juice Yeast strain that works over organic premium 2-Row Barley malt to give this beer wisps of bright, fruity esters that float around with the tropical fruit and citrus notes from the Citra, Azacca, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops (all organically grown, of course). The total package goes down so cleanly and lightly making this brew a great NEIPA for the summer. Thank you for your service.

Blue Mountain Raspberries on Acid

Regularly $16.99 / Now on Sale for $15.96
Kettle Soured Barrel-Aged Imperial Witbier with Raspberries

“Imperial Witbier brewed with oats, wheat, barley, orange peel, and coriander, then soured in the kettle with lactobacillus bacteria. Light hopping and fermentation with traditional witbier yeast results in a bigger-than-normal sour wheat ale. To get a little funkier we then rack this beer to a fleet of Petit Verdot barrels from nearby Veritas vineyard and Cognac barrels from France on top of raspberry puree.”
