To craft today’s Through The Wire NEIPA, BlackStack Brewing teamed up with Randy’s Alt. Culture Pioneers — the folks making high-quality rolling papers since 1975. Always for legal purposes, of course (if anyone asks). 

Care to guess what kind of flavors the beer offers? 

If you said anything along the lines of “tropical kush” or “sweet hash,” that’s 10 points! This haze is DANK. 

Every sip brims with ripe grapefruit, soft peach fuzz, drippy pineapple, and earthy pine tree notes — the same kind of stuff swirling out of Cheech and Chong’s van. 

Only, these flavors come entirely from hops! A clever lineup of Mosaic, Cashmere, Strata, and extra-potent Ekuanot Cryo provides the juice, even if your taste buds suggest something more chronic. Hops and hemp come from the same family, you know. 

Fortunately, Through The Wire won’t clash with the laws of any state. It’s lush hopjuice that’s rated a phenomenal 4.27 on Untappd and is 4/20 friendly. Time to crack open a can and set the afternoon on “chill.”
