Crafted for Flavor Exploration

Brewed with the same innovation and precision that made Firestone Walker a legend in craft brewing, Cosmic Crusher is designed to deliver complexity without compromise. This imperial hazy IPA features a masterful blend of hops and malt, combining rich fruit notes with a silky mouthfeel and just the right level of bitterness.

Using select hop varieties like Galaxy, Strata, and Citra, the brewers extract bright tropical fruit aromas pineapple, mango, and passionfruit with hints of citrus peel and soft pine. The result is an aromatic explosion that leads into a smooth, juicy palate balanced by subtle bitterness and warmth.

Taste, Aroma, and Finish

• Aroma: Bursting with tropical fruit mango, pineapple, and citrus followed by hints of peach, melon, and subtle floral notes.
• Taste: Layers of juicy fruit, ripe stone fruit, and tangy citrus. A gentle malt backbone supports the hops, creating balance without heaviness.
• Finish: Smooth and slightly dry with lingering fruit and low bitterness, masking its higher alcohol content beautifully.

At 4.5 percent ABV, Firestone Mind Haze Cosmic Crusher packs power, yet it drinks with surprising smoothness. Every sip is a cosmic journey through layers of vibrant hop flavor.

Brewing Excellence

Firestone Walker has long been known for merging art and science in brewing, and Cosmic Crusher is a shining example of that philosophy. Brewed with an expressive hazy yeast strain, the beer develops a pillowy texture and vibrant aroma.

The beer undergoes a double dry-hopping process, adding massive amounts of hops late in fermentation to enhance fruit intensity while keeping bitterness soft and approachable. This attention to balance makes Cosmic Crusher drinkable, despite its bold strength and layered hop profile.

Firestone Mind Haze Cosmic Crusher IPA pairs beautifully with a wide range of foods thanks to its juicy flavor and full-bodied character.

• Spicy foods: Enhances dishes like Thai curry, tacos, and buffalo wings.
• Grilled meats: Complements the char and seasoning of steak, ribs, or burgers.
