We asked. You answered. Now, we are excited to introduce our newest house beer: Oak & Stone’s WICKED PARADISE New England Hazy IPA, brewed by Palm City Brewing.
Back in September, we asked our guests to take a shot at naming our newest house beer, a New England style IPA, full of tropical hop flavors like pineapple, tangerine and sweet citrus leading to a lingering bright citrus finish. Our community shocked us by submitting nearly 700 fun, clever and name-worthy suggestions.
Our team carefully reviewed the submissions, narrowing it down to a few names that captured the spirit of our sunny Sarasota, Florida roots, while also standing on its own. We wanted something that complemented our first house beer, the Snowbird Pilsner, but wasn’t tied too closely to Florida.
Why WICKED PARADISE? “WICKED” perfectly connected the New England aspect of the IPA and nods to our Snowbird Pilsner. “PARADISE” evokes the feeling of Florida, without being too specific, giving it a broader appeal. Additionally, “PARADISE” references the tropical fruit flavors, like pineapple and tangerine, while “WICKED” hints to the bitter hops that characterize our hazy IPA.
We are so excited to be adding our Wicked Paradise IPA to our Beer Wall and can’t wait for you to try it! Oak & Stone’s Wicked Paradise New England hazy iPA, Brewed by Palm City Brewing is available now on the Beer Wall at all Oak & Stone locations.
