Core Trends DDH IPA - Burgeon Brewing x McIlhenney Brewing x Craft Coast Beer & Tacos

Core Trends DDH IPA (7.0% ABV)

Burgeon Brewing x McIlhenney Brewing x Craft Coast Beer & Tacos

Short Little History
When three of San Diego County’s most respected hop houses join forces, you know you’re in for something special. Core Trends DDH IPA is a collaborative celebration of West Coast hop mastery from Burgeon Brewing, McIlhenney Brewing, and Craft Coast Beer & Tacos — a union born from friendship, creativity, and a shared obsession with modern IPA expression. Brewed with cutting-edge hop varieties and double dry-hopped for maximum aromatic impact, this beer represents the core trend driving California’s craft scene: bold flavor, fresh hops, and total drinkability.

Key Features

• Style: Double Dry-Hopped India Pale Ale (DDH IPA)

• ABV: 7.0%

• Hop Varietals: A rotating showcase of elite Pacific Northwest and Southern Hemisphere hops (including Mosaic, Citra, and experimental lots)

• Collaboration: Burgeon Brewing, McIlhenney Brewing, and Craft Coast Beer & Tacos

• Format: 16oz cans

Tasting Notes
Core Trends bursts with bright notes of mango, passionfruit, and tangerine peel, backed by layers of dank pine resin and ripe stone fruit. The double dry-hop treatment intensifies tropical aromatics while maintaining a clean, lean body that drinks crisp and snappy. Expect a pillowy mouthfeel, a balanced bitterness, and a long finish that keeps you coming back for another sip.

Awards (Even from Past Releases)
While Core Trends is a limited collab project, its creators are no strangers to the podium:

• McIlhenney Brewing: GABF gold medals for hop-forward ales and clear IPAs

• Burgeon Brewing: San Diego Beer News “Brewery of the Year” honors and multiple IPA Challenge wins

• Craft Coast: Regularly recognized among San Diego’s top breweries for fresh, expressive hop character

Overall Expression of the Product
Core Trends DDH IPA is a love letter to San Diego hop culture — crisp, expressive, and intensely aromatic. It captures the collaborative spirit of three breweries that define what modern IPA brewing looks like today: clean fermentation, vibrant hops, and next-level drinkability. This beer doesn’t just follow trends — it sets them.
