That Was Then - IPA
That Was Then is a brand new hazy IPA that's one half of a pair of IPA's where we take a second to reflect on how much our brewing styles have changed over the years. That Was Then sees us dial back the clock, reverting to a more OG Range IPA base recipe, with a hop selection of all US hops that is more reminiscent of an IPA we'd have brewed circa 2019. For the malt bill, we bring in a heavy dose of Golden Promise to compliment the pale base malt, with some small additions of vienna and select cara-malts more just that little bit of colour and flavour hit. On the hop selection we went with Citra, Simcoe, Cashmere and Simcoe Cryo - some absolute classics and Range favourites from back in the day. The colour is a gorgeous orange, still with plenty of haze, but less of that 'milky' texture that we chase in our modern IPA's. On those nose we've got citrus, melon and just a hint of pine coming through eluding perfectly to the hop flavours to come. Take a sip to find a beautiful full and dense body that brings a hint of malt sweetness, along with hop notes of peach rings, melon sorbet, juicy and fleshy citrus, fresh squeezed OJ and a pineapple finishing hit. The finish is juicy and slightly sweet, rounding out a perfect throwback IPA.

LEARN ABOUT THIS STYLE
Our house IPAs are a modern twist on the New England style. They're juicy, hazy and glowing bright orange in the glass. We like to keep the bitterness low from start to finish, making it smooth, expressive and seriously drinkable.
The malt bill is intentionally simple, with oats and wheat building a soft, full body that lets the hops shine. We lean into dry hops that often deliver waves of melon, tropical fruit and ripe citrus, all wrapped up in that signature hazy mouthfeel.
These beers are bold in flavour but approachable by design- perfect for longtime hop lovers and first-time IPA drinkers alike.
Juicy. Hazy. Balanced. A true Range staple.
