Name: Cyboogie
Brand: The Establishment Brewing Company

Two of the four hops in Establishment's newest IPA never arrive as cones at all. Cyboogie is hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Nectaron, Mosaic Cryo and a Columbus product called Cryo Dank Dive - the last two being concentrated lupulin rather than whole hops, processed into a powder that carries the resin and oil while leaving most of the leafy plant matter behind.

That matters in a beer like this. Concentrated hop products let a brewer push aroma and flavour hard without dragging in the vegetal bite that comes from dosing whole hops at the same intensity. In a West Coast IPA, where the beer is clear and there is no haze or residual sweetness to hide behind, that distinction shows up in the glass.

The two whole-cone varieties are both New Zealand names with strong reputations. Nelson Sauvin is known for a white wine character, frequently compared to sauvignon blanc, and Nectaron is a newer variety with a tropical and stone fruit profile that has gained ground quickly with hop-forward brewers. Running them alongside Mosaic and Columbus concentrates gives the beer a foot in two hop-growing hemispheres.

The Establishment Brewing Company frames all of this in cyberpunk shorthand. The hop combination, it says, might look like a cyborg on the print out, but it executes like a bouncy ball of electric lettuce, powered by a cast of berries, citrus and candied stone fruit. The listed notes are boysenberry soda, tangelo flesh and OG Kush. The brewery calls it forward-thinking and dank.

Cyboogie is a West Coast IPA at 6.8 percent. It lands as a taproom exclusive from Friday, October 2 through Monday, October 5, with the province-wide and online release to follow after the weekend.

Editor’s Take

Electric lettuce. That is the brewery's phrase for what this beer executes like, and I have been turning it over for a while now. It is an old bit of slang for the plant we are all politely not naming, and it lands here because dank is the one tasting descriptor in beer that everybody understands and nobody wants to define out loud. Establishment then lists a hop product literally called Dank Dive, so at some point the industry stopped winking about it entirely.

What holds the whole thing together is that this is a West Coast IPA, which in 2026 means something more specific than it used to. The style spent years being the thing hazy IPA had replaced, and it has come back as a deliberate choice rather than a default - clear, bitter, and built to let resin and citrus arrive without a cloud of protein softening the edges. Nelson Sauvin's white wine character and Nectaron's tropical streak are both New Zealand contributions that would get muffled in a hazy base. Here they have nowhere to hide. If you want a pairing, point it at anything charred and fatty, since a genuinely bitter IPA is one of the few drinks that can cut through a plate of ribs without surrendering.
