BREW REVIEW: "Ice In The Pipes"

Name: Ice In The Pipes

Brewery: North 5th Brewing Co.

Location: North Las Vegas, NV

Venue: North 5th Brewing Co. Taproom

Style: Cold IPA

ABV: 6.6%

Glassware Used: Stemmed Tulip

PODFLASH Rating: 3.0

Untapped Rating: 3.95

Impressions:  Strata, Citra & Idaho 7 hops are the star of the show on the very light, very crisp easy-drinker. It has some soft fruit on the nose, but a playful bite when you sip. Truth be told, I ordered this on one of the rare cold days in Las Vegas, and it probably would have been doubly satisfying if I consumed it during one of our triple digit days (coming soon). If Cold IPAs and/or IPLs are your jam, this is a home run.

North 5th Brewing is such a gem of the Las Vegas brewing scene. Excellent beers and a most welcoming staff that always makes you feel like family. It’s very much off the beaten path, but worth the sojourn every time. Was more than happy to get the first stamp of my 2025 Nevada Craft Beverage Passport (more on that later) at their home base. Also downed my current favorite on their tap list Flor De Mayo West Coast IPA (bottom left photo with the playing card), and admired their enviable collection of Nicolas Cage epherma. Everyone wins.
