"As part of a partnership with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, Headlands Brewing Company released Golden Gate West Coast IPA, a West Coast-style IPA brewed with Bravo, Idaho 7, and HBC 686 hops. Clocking in at 6.5 percent ABV and 65 IBU, it pours pale yellow and, according to the brewery, offers aromas and flavors of tangerine, mango, and a medley of other citrus and tropical fruits. The cans in the year-long series will feature artwork created by the Conservancy—first the Golden Gate Bridge, with subsequent cans highlighting Alcatraz and Muir Woods—and for every 4-pack sold $1 will go to the National Parks Conservancy. There's a launch party planned for Thursday, October 27 from 5 to 9 p.m. at Headlands Brewing’s Lafayette taproom, with 10 percent of proceeds going to the Golden Gate Park's Conservancy." - Lauren Saria
