In the order Cloudburst Brewing lists them: Around the Block DDH West Coast IPA | 7% ABV | 6.3 IBU Have you been around the block? Oh you HAVE?! The WCIPA block? Well, you should probably take another lap, or hundred. Because the hop varieties in the beer have seen it ALL. Chinook? Been there since 1985, and used every which way in IPAs since its inception. Columbus? It was literally BRED in th early 90s to bitter your hoppy beers. And .... From the brewery's page for this beer. Forms like Cryo and CO2 extract are the same variety processed differently.
