Four Mile Polynomial Pale Ale #15 to Debut This Week
The newest version of Four Mile Brewing’s Polynomial Pale Ale, their flagship rotating hop series IPA, will debut on April 17. #15 features a blend of Simcoe, Mosaic, Citra and CHF Blend hops to create notes of sweet malty biscuit, piney dryness, tropical fruit, stone fruit, melon and citrus. “A polynomial is an expression consisting of variables. The variety of grains and hops in this batch, along with our constant passion to create beauty, results in this delicious brew,” Four Mile says. The brewery has also just released Haze 4 Dayz New England IPA, a collaboration with Grand River Brewing.

Righteous Dude Double IPA Returns to New York Beer Project
Righteous Dude, the Double IPA that kick started an entire family of big beers (Righteous Dudette, Righteous Uncle Olaf, Righteous Cousin Vinny) makes its return to New York Beer Project on April 19 (5pm). Aggressively hopped with Amarillo, Citra, Simcoe, and Cascade hops, the Dude boasts a dank hop profile on top of juicy orange and tropical fruit with notes of peach, mango and grapefruit as well as hints of resin and pine. And since it seems like we will never break out of these colder temps, an 8.8% DIPA might just be what we all need right about now.
