Garage Project Unconditional Love West Coast IPA

TASTING NOTES

A straight up West Coast IPA reply to last year’s East Coast style Party & Bullshit. Unconditional Love, assertively bitter but balanced with a clean, bright malt base and a classic American one two punch of Citra and Centennial followed up with hit of new wave Ekuanot for a knockout citrus and tropical fruit aroma.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Based in Wellington, NZ, The Garage Project is Pete Gillespie, Jos Ruffell, and Ian Gillespie. When they started out, they were tiny. Garage Project wasn’t even micro brewing; it was a truly nano brewery. When brewing on such a small scale, one can afford to take risks. That suited the guys from Garage Project, always on a quest to try something new. Three years have passed and they’ve grown, but that same ethos still shapes how they do things at the Garage. Whether they’re brewing 50 litres or 2000, they’re still there to take some risks, to have a bit of fun and to try something new.

Brewer Pete Gillespie had worked for a decade in English breweries including Brakespear and Hepworth. He moved from Australia to Wellington before launching Garage Project with his brother Ian and a former video game designer, Jos Ruffell.
