Hot for Hops: Sultry Citra and Warrior Hops slide across the taste buds on every sip. Hot for Flavor: A kiss of grapefruit and fresh OJ gives way to a gentle caress of mango. On the finish, look for a touch of malty sweetness balanced against a nip of resinous pine.

In the immortal words of Van Halen, my homework was never quite like this.

Because for some reason, my teachers never assigned delicious beer as homework. If they’d given us assignments like drinking Hops 4 Teacher, I probably would have paid closer attention.

This Citra Hop-powered brew comes courtesy of Miami’s J. Wakefield. If you’re looking to study-up on this crew, here’s a cheat-sheet for you:

• They’re one of Paste Mag’s 10 Best Breweries in the Country. 
• Founder John Wakefield was impressing local palates long before he opened his own spot in 2015 — first as a homebrewer, and then working as a brewer at the famed Cigar City.
• Draft Mag named J. Wakefield the Best New Brewery when they first opened, and they’ve only gotten better.
• Today’s beer is the brewery’s most popular IPA!

Got all that? Good. Here’s your homework: get yourself a taste of Hops 4 Teacher. 

But you’d better grab it fast, because we only have 20 cases of this tropically fruity brew! One sip, and you’ll have it bad, so bad, for Hops 4 Teacher.

*J. Wakefield has a higher Untappd brewery rating than craft superstars Tired Hands, Anchorage, and Westbrook.
