THIRD STATE AMERICAN IPA

Origins

Originally released as Long Goodbye, this assertive IPA helped define Third State Brewing’s hop-forward identity. Now entering the Third State Series, this West Coast-style IPA keeps its bold edge while joining a new chapter as Third State American IPA. Clean, crisp, and unapologetically bitter—it’s the IPA that never backs down.

 

Brewed true to the West Coast tradition, Third State American IPA delivers clear pour clarity, a punch of piney and citrus-forward hops, and a firm but lean malt structure. Expect notes of grapefruit zest, resin, and floral spice, finishing dry and clean with lingering hop bitterness. It's everything a classic American IPA should be—sharp, aromatic, and refreshingly aggressive.
