Your beer and your bud have more in common than just “things you enjoyed in college.” Both have myrcene, the compound that gives cannabis that “musky earth [smell] that fills your nostrils,” and it’s also prevalent in the hops in IPAs. We learned that interesting nugget (!!) from Philip Wolf of Cultivating Spirits, a Colorado-based company that provides a “sophisticated cannabis experience,” including tours and three-course meals paired deliciously with cannabis.
Because sometimes pairing rich imperial stouts with desserts gets old, we asked Wolf to pair some of our favorite IPAs with strains that complement the beer. Let’s cultivate some spirits, shall we?
