The Works IPA, the latest in Golden Road Brewing’s line of seasonal IPAs -- and its third release benefiting a local nonprofit organization, is headed to shelves and taps in Los Angeles. The aroma-driven West Coast IPA uses a mix of hop varieties from three continents to create a complex and layered flavor profile that’s like fruit salad in a can.
Golden Road partnered with L.A. Works -- the largest volunteer network in the city -- for the new IPA, and brewmaster Jesse Houck said it was a challenge to come up with a beer that was distinct from the brewery’s many other IPAs.
