The following excerpt is from this City Pages article.


BlackStack/Lua Pocket Tees

IPA, 7% ABV, n/a IBU

We started with a collaboration, so we’ll end with one, too. BlackStack teamed up with Des Moines’ Lua Brewing for Pocket Tees, an easygoing IPA brewed with the brand-goddamn-new hop variety Sabro. Haven’t heard of Lua? That’s because they haven’t opened yet, but Forager lead brewer Zack Dunbar is taking up brewing duties, and the BlackStack crew is sending him off right. They teamed with Dunbar to brew Pocket Tee, a pineapple-y IPA brewed with a new (yet undisclosed) strain of yeast. Pocket Tees is a fragrant current of juice that goes down easier than its 7% ABV should allow. If this is any indication of what to Lua will brew, expect gobs of citrus and an experimental mindset.
