Urban Family Brewing, which moved from Seattle’s Magnolia district to the Ballard neighborhood in 2019, is rolling out a new release of Galactic Tide IPA in cans, Mutually Assured Destruction Imperial Stout and Fermi Paradox IPA. They also plan to send the holiday season planners packing with a take-home beer pairing dinner with Damoori Kitchen in Magnolia on 12/18.

Galactic Tide IPA

Galactic Tide IPA recently was named the winner of Sip Magazine’s Juicy/Hazy IPA category judging and with that honor they brewed up a new batch and gave it a sweet new label. Galactic Tide has huge dry-hop additions (5lbs per barrel) of Galaxy, Citra & Mosaic lend big citrus and tropical fruit aromas, rounded out by a creamy sweetness and hints of tangerine. 

Mutually Assured Destruction - a collaboration with Ravenna Brewing

Urban Family Brewing will drop a new collaboration with their besties at Ravenna Brewing this Thursday 12/17. Mutually Assured Destruction leads with dark chocolate aromas with ever-so-slight berry notes and rich, dark chocolate and vanilla flavors. 12% ABV.

MAD details:
Base malt: Pale 2-Row and Maris Otter blend with a blend of chocolate malts, flaked barley and oats, and two crystal malts. We started with roughly 30 barrels in our kettle, which was boiled down overnight to 19 barrels. The beer was conditioned on vanilla beans post-fermentation. Starting gravity of 33.7P.

Fermi Paradox IPA

UFB will also follow-up on the hops with Fermi Paradox IPA, jam packed with huge mango aromas with a hint of pine. Resinous, candy-like sweetness, and a bit of savory mango flavors. 7.5% ABV.

FPIPA details:
Grist: Pale 2-row, malted white wheat, flaked oats and wheat, and a touch of honey malt. It was fermented under pressure with Imperial Organic's A38 Juice, and dry hopped under pressure at a rate of 5 pounds per barrel with Amarillo, El Dorado, and Zappa.
