The winner of Battle of the Brews, which began with 64 breweries, gets a trophy and bragging rights.
“I am proud to be representing Vancouver and would love the Couv to take the trophy home to our side of the river,” Parsons said.
Heathen’s description of “Transgression IPA” is a “light bodied IPA has a simple grain bill of Northwest Pale, Crystal and Caravienne malt that brings a smooth silky texture. The infamous Simcoe, Citra (hops) bring a huge aroma and light citrus flavor, while the Warrior brings just enough back bitter to make an IPA.”
Heathen also has a limited supply of Transgression IPA that it plans to release tonight (Thursday, July 25) for growler fills at the Brewery at 5612 N.E. 119th Street.
The company’s second batch of Blackberry Heathenweizen will also be on tap tonight at the brewery along with fresh batch of the Promiscuous Blonde, Parsons said.
