Gazelle Hazy IPA
GAZELLE HAZY IPA
DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE
ABV 8.0%, IBU 30
AVAILABILITY: Limited
DESCRIPTION: Celebrating Community Through Craft Beer. Nashville-based craft brewery Tennessee Brew Works and Chicago-based Turner Häus Brewery have partnered to honor Women’s History Month and Celebrate Community Through Craft Beer with the annual release of their collaboration beer, Gazelle Hazy IPA.
This Hazy Double India Pale Ale honors all of the legendary Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) female athletes both past and present. ABV 8%, IBU 30. Utilizing some preeminent hops, including Waimea, Strata, Idaho 7 and Cashmere, this brew is dominated by citrus and tropical fruit notes with enough dankness to gratify any IPA palate.
The label has been created masterfully by local artist and Tennessee State University Professor, Sam Dunson. The label depicts Erika Motley, who is a track star in her own right and relative of Turner Häus Brewery co-founders Steve Turner and Blair Turner-Aikens, and symbolizes the impact HBCU women athletes have made on generations of athletes.
“It’s great to release a beer honoring women HBCU track athletes for women’s history month. Often women, and especially Black women, are not given the spotlight in the beer industry. It’s great to have such a fantastic beer to highlight women of color,” said Blair Turner-Aikens, co-founder Turner Häus Brewery.
RECOMMENDED PAIRINGS
Recommended to enjoy with family, friends and the community (but it also works pretty well with smoked meats and sharp cheeses too).
