Tree HouseBeersMazzy
Mazzy is a juicy IPA celebrating the complementary profiles of our single-origin coffee and hand-selected hops. These cherries undergo a fascinating multi-stage fermentation, developing lively notes of hibiscus tea and orange soda. We paired its vibrant profile with select lots of Citra and Amarillo, bringing aromas of floral peach, perfume lemons, and orange-mango smoothies.
Notes of orange, lemon & lime, mango, peach, creamsicle, herbal and floral. Feels juicy.

Today we are pleased to introduce Mazzy - a new coffee IPA. Mazzy celebrates the complementary profiles of our single-origin coffee and hand-selected hops. Our house-roasted coffee lends notes of bright hibiscus and orange soda, while a blend of hand-selected hops bursts with floral peach, perfume lemons, and orange-mango smoothies. Our brew team followed their noses to the coffee department, where they were cupping a new SL28 coffee variety from producer Edinson Argote of Finca Quebraditas in Colombia. These cherries undergo a fascinating multi-stage fermentation. While it might seem strange to pair coffee and hops, they share the process of fermentation, and their flavor wheels are both so expansive that there are moments when the stars truly align. This beer is surprisingly familiar yet wholly unique. The real star of the show, however, is our head coffee roaster David's pup, after whom this special in-house collab is named. And the artwork, by Sarah Laba-Barry, captures her beautifully.
Our latest Single Origin release is our first from Finca Quebraditas and producer Edinson Argote. Featuring the lovely SL28 variety, a bean whose roots originate in Kenya, it is known for bright acidity and smooth citrus sweetness. Edinson’s efforts absolutely deliver, as we perceive notes of hibiscus tea and orange soda. Edinson Argote works primarily with micro-batches of only the ripest cherries, guaranteeing total control over fermentation. The advanced washed process includes two stages of fermentation. First, the cherries are sealed for 72 hours and then dried within twelve days. Then, it is reintroduced to a novel blend of yeasts, after which the coffee is rehydrated and sealed for four days before a final 76-hour drying stage. You may have noticed we are so enamored with this release that we decided to design a beer around it: Mazzy, a rare marriage of coffee and hop flavor profiles. This is the first of many from this incredible producer, and we will be savoring its unique aroma, black and piping hot from a proper pour-over until then.
