Societe Brewing co. x Burgeon "Forrest Friends" IPA

Societe x Burgeon "Forrest Friends" IPA | San Diego Collaboration

Short Little History

When two legendary San Diego powerhouses join forces, you know your palate is in for a treat. Societe Brewing (famous for their ultra-clean, award-winning West Coast IPAs) has teamed up with the environmental and hop wizards at Burgeon Beer Company to bring you "Forrest Friends." This collaboration is a masterclass in modern IPA brewing, combining both breweries' obsession with pristine quality, explosive hop aromatics, and incredible drinkability.

Key Features: A Match Made in Hop Heaven

This brew highlights the best of both breweries, leaning into that resinous, bright, and deeply satisfying "forest" profile.

• The Collaboration: A limited-release meeting of the minds between Societe and Burgeon, two giants of the Southern California craft beer scene.

• Style: Modern West Coast IPA.

• The Vibe: Heavily aromatic and clean, designed to evoke the sensation of walking through a damp, sunlit pine forest.

• Bitterness: Firm but balanced, avoiding the harsh, palate-wrecking bitterness of older IPAs in favor of a smooth, refreshing snap.

Tasting & Experience Notes

• The Nose: An incredible punch of fresh pine needles, dank resin, bright grapefruit zest, and just a hint of sweet mango and passion fruit hiding in the background.

• The Palate: Crisp and assertive. You are greeted with a wave of citrus oil and resinous hops, backed by a very light, crackery malt base that lets the hops do 100% of the talking.

• The Finish: Bone-dry, crisp, and incredibly clean. It leaves a lingering, pleasant piney bitterness on the tongue that immediately calls for another sip.

Food Pairing Notes

This classic, piney West Coast profile is built to stand up to bold flavors:

• The Grill: Perfect alongside a classic smash burger, grilled bratwurst, or smoked brisket.

• Spicy Favorites: The clean, dry finish cuts right through the heat of buffalo wings, jalapeño poppers, or spicy tacos.

• Cheeses: Excellent with sharp aged cheddars or a funky blue cheese that can match the beer's intensity.

Overall Expression

Forrest Friends is everything a San Diego IPA should be. It is bright, unapologetically hoppy, and finishes with the kind of clean, crisp dryness that keeps you coming back for more. It is an absolute must-grab for any fan of world-class West Coast IPAs.
