A new chapter in the storied collaboration between two iconic brewing companies has arrived. Karl Strauss Brewing Company and Pizza Port Brewing Company have reissued their beloved Nectaron of the Gods IPA, delighting fans with its vibrant tropical flavors while supporting a meaningful cause. This limited-edition brew is part of Karl Strauss's 2025 Ridiculously Limited Release Series, with proceeds aiding Restaurants Care, an organization dedicated to helping California restaurant workers facing unexpected challenges.
The essence of this remarkable beverage lies in its bold hop blend, which delivers an explosion of passion fruit, grapefruit, peach, and pineapple notes. Its golden hue, medium body, and refreshing citrus finish exemplify the quintessential West Coast IPA style. Initially launched in 2023, Nectaron of the Gods is now available on draft and in four-packs of 16-ounce cans throughout California, Arizona, and Nevada, as well as at all nine Karl Strauss brewpubs in Southern California and six Pizza Port locations in San Diego County. Beer enthusiasts can conveniently locate it using the Karl Strauss Beer Finder.
Community spirit and industry support are central themes in this partnership. On release day, one dollar from every pint sold will go to Restaurants Care, alongside one percent of total sales in California during the beer’s availability. This initiative reflects Karl Strauss's commitment to uplifting the nonprofit through each release in the Ridiculously Limited Release Series. According to Karl Strauss Brewmaster Paul Segura, this collaboration transcends mere brewing—it fosters camaraderie within the brewing community and supports those who keep the industry thriving. Similarly, Pizza Port Director of Brewing Sean Farrell expressed excitement about bringing back this exceptional brew, emphasizing its role in celebrating teamwork behind the scenes.
This release not only highlights the creativity and expertise of these brewing legends but also underscores the importance of giving back to the community that sustains them. Through partnerships like this, industries can thrive while fostering a culture of mutual respect and support. As consumers savor the rich flavors of Nectaron of the Gods, they contribute to a brighter future for those who pour their hearts into every glass served.
