Have you tried Yippie Calle Principal at Alvarado Street Brewery? It's their new IPA brewed with a unique yeast strain formerly classified as Brettanomyces. It produces bright, fruity esters and leaves the beer with a beautiful haze. It's dry hopped with Calypso to augment the tropical notes produced during fermentation. You're wondering about the name? It's a combination of a quote from "Die Hard" and the street behind us.
