From the editor: North Park Beer Co. is using San Diego Beer Week to tell its own origin story, and I’m into it. Origins of Fu! is a West Coast double IPA built on the original Hop-Fu! hop lineup, the same IPA that took World Beer Cup gold in 2022. The two Highland Park collabs are worth a look, but if you only grab one four-pack this week, make it the one with the backstory.
(SAN DIEGO, CA) – San Diego Beer Week continues with rad can releases, food specials, and a ton of fun events. Plus, new Origins of Fu! glasses drop Wednesday at the North Park taproom.

X-Raying Pillow – TDH Hazy Double IPA – 8.4%
We hit up our LA-based friends at Highland Park to bring you X-Raying Pillow! A true mashup of a couple award-winning hazies, this forecast is loaded with notes of fresh berries, guava, vibrant orange, and peach for this triple dry-hopped Hazy Double IPA. The Mosaic, Citra, and Galaxy clouds are rolling on in, and we couldn’t be happier to see them.
Shared Detour – West Coast Pilsner – 5.8%
Hop in, we’re going on a road trip! First destination? To pick up the crew at Highland Park, of course! Perhaps we can catch a few waves or take a quick hike along the way – but we can’t forget to make a dry-hop pit stop, because our trunk is absolutely stuffed with HBC-1134, NZ-109, Tangier, Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin, and Nelson Sauvin Cryo. Cruise through notes of lemon, grapefruit peel, sauv blanc, sweet tangerine, and a delicate touch of rose water before landing at destination West Coast Pils!
Origins of Fu! – TDH West Coast Double IPA – 8%
A long time ago, in a garage far, far away, Kelsey was whipping up a beer that you’ve come to know and love: Hop-Fu! Today, we’re proud to present Origins of Fu! – a West Coast Double IPA inspired by all the double IPAs that influenced Kelsey in his homebrewing journey, and triple dry-hopped with Hop-Fu!’s original squad: Amarillo, Citra DynaBoost, Citra, Citra Cryo, Columbus Cryo, and Simcoe. Notes of mixed berry, purple grape, tropical candy, citrus zest & a touch of dank resin jump from the glass before landing into a dry, bitter finish. Everyone loves an origin story, and we know you’ll love Origins of Fu! too.
Hop-Fu! – DDH West Coast IPA – 7.5%
Our flagship, World Beer Cup 2022 Gold Medal and 2024 & 2026 Silver Medal-winning West Coast IPA is lupulin loaded with Chinook, Simcoe, Citra, Citra Cryo, Citra DynaBoost, Amarillo, Mosaic Cryo, Mosaic, and Columbus Cryo hops that delivers a flying kick to your olfactory system with a blast of saturated hop flavors and aromas! Pine, dank resin, grapefruit, lemon zest, stone fruit, slight floral notes, and a lingering citrusy finish all make this one delicious West Coast IPA.
Cans are available for pickup at North Park Beer Co. locations and for California shipping.
