Offshoot Beer Co. was founded in 2017 as the hop focused branch of California's acclaimed The Bruery, allowing the team to explore fresh, modern styles while maintaining the same commitment to quality and innovation. Based in Placentia, California, Offshoot quickly earned a reputation for producing some of the West Coast's most sought after hazy IPAs, emphasizing freshness, expressive hop character, and exceptional drinkability over aggressive bitterness.
The brewery is known for brewing with premium American hops, high quality malt, and a meticulous approach to fermentation. Every batch is designed to showcase vibrant hop aromatics while maintaining a soft, pillowy mouthfeel. Freshness is central to the brewery's philosophy, with beers packaged quickly after brewing and intended to be enjoyed as close to release as possible for maximum flavor and aroma.
Relax It's Just a Hazy IPA is Offshoot's flagship beer and helped introduce the brewery to a national audience. Brewed with citra, amarillo, centennial, and simcoe hops along with London III yeast, it delivers layers of mango, pineapple, peach, orange, and grapefruit without the sharp bitterness traditionally associated with IPA. Flaked oats contribute a silky, rounded texture, while the restrained bitterness keeps the focus squarely on juicy hop expression. At 6.8 percent ABV, it strikes an ideal balance between flavor and drinkability.
Relax pours hazy golden with a dense white head and bursts with aromas of tropical fruit, citrus, and fresh stone fruit. The palate is lush and creamy with notes of ripe mango, pineapple, tangerine, and peach, finishing soft, smooth, and remarkably refreshing. It has become a benchmark American hazy IPA, consistently earning outstanding reviews from critics and craft beer enthusiasts alike for its balance, freshness, and effortless drinkability.
