New Releases: Overpass IPA and 1609 Amber Ale from Coney Island Brewing

Posted on January 23, 2015 by NYCBG

Two new beers were announced by Coney Island Brewing Company this morning. The beers seem to be a move to further establish the new branding unveiled in the second half of 2013.

Overpass IPA, in Coney Island’s words:

Presenting our tribute to those artists, musicians and renaissance souls that staked claim and built community Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass (D.U.M.B.O).

Overpass is a deep golden, richly aromatic IPA with a crisp bitterness and big, juicy citrus and hop aromas.

Malts: 2 Row Brewer’s Malt, Caramunich, Carapils

Hops: Warrior, Cascade, Centennial, Citra, Nelson Sauvin

ABV: 6.2%

IBUs: 60

1609 Amber Ale:

1609 isn’t a year. It’s a landmark in time. When explorers first set foot on the massive dune along the Atlantic, they set in motion a chain of events that would one day give us The Playground of the World. And to that, we drink.

1609 is a bold, deep amber ale with a full malt, slightly nutty character and strong citrus hop nose that celebrates the discovery of Coney Island.

Malt: 2 Row, Carapils, Melanoidin, Caramel Munich

Hops: Cascade, Amarillo, Tettnang, Northern Brewer

ABV: 4.8%

IBUs: 35
