Blackman's Brewery Happy Pants

Happy pants might no longer be fashionable but Blackman’s Brewery’s love for West Coast IPAs has never disappeared. Given the fact such beers have continued to find success even in the face of juicier juggernauts, maybe the future is bright for fun but unfashionable pants too?

Maybe you're holding onto a pair of torn-up pants from the 90s waiting for their day to come but it's quite likely the best time to try them is now as you crack a West Coast. Indeed, Happy Pants is about as classic a West Coast as they come, with the IPA hopped with Citra, Simcoe, Amarillo, Centennial and Cascade. Those hops come together for heavy hits of citrus, pine and oily resin while the booze adds a touch of sweetness and booze before the bitterness kicks in.
