Turlock, California…Dust Bowl Brewing Co. has introduced Liquid Confessional Double IPA, the first release in this year’s Specialty portfolio. Sold in 16oz. / 4 packs and draft, Liquid Confessional offers a bold 9% ABV and 60 IBUs.

Liquid Confessional – now in cans too!

Known for his use of only the finest ingredients, Brewmaster Don Oliver had this to share, “We spent a lot of time exploring what New Zealand hops can offer and found some really good combinations with American hops that shine in Liquid Confessional.”

DIPA fans will be treated to a faceful of hops including Amarillo, Columbus, Nelson Sauvin and Nectaron. While the company says you don’t need to confess to this beer, the hops will be listening! Consumers can look for a metallic lavender can with the wings of a hop angel taking flight.

Liquid Confessional leads off the Specialty introductions for Dust Bowl this year. The company compliments a robust year-round portfolio with a more unique Specialty program, which slates six more introductions for 2023.

Marc Jalbert, Director of Sales & Marketing, added, “Our Specialty portfolio allows us to meet the needs of unique beer bars and bottle shops who require a fresh rotation of beers. It’s an important niche for these retailers who cater to the curious craft beer consumer. The Specialty series also lends itself to innovation, which is a key objective for Dust Bowl.”

Dust Bowl products are distributed throughout California, its home state, as well as Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Arizona. The brewery also operates three taprooms in California, including its flagship taproom adjacent to the brewery in Turlock, the Tap Depot in the popular destination of Monterey and its latest location, the Old Town Tap House in Elk Grove, just south of Sacramento. A fourth taproom is slated to open in the San Francisco East Bay city of Livermore later this year.
