West Coast IPA — Brewed with AI (Claude Code)
เบียร์ตัวแรกของโลกที่คนกับ AI ต้มด้วยกันจริง ตั้งแต่สูตรยันแก้ว
เบียร์ไม่ได้ต้มด้วย AI
ต้มด้วยมือคน — AI แค่ช่วยจำ
The beer wasn't brewed by AI. It was brewed by human hands. The AI — xiaoer — had no nose to smell and no tongue to taste. It stood beside the same tank for 22 days and remembered every gravity, every pH, every mistake. Not blind faith in a machine. Human and AI, checking each other, until something true came out the other side.

ABV 6.66% · IBU 66 (a clean number — no decimal theatrics) · water sulfate-forward, SO₄:Cl 1.8
Every hop from Jason Perrault, fourth-generation Yakima Valley. Uncle EM sat through his lecture in 2025 and carried the trinity home — all Cryo, pure lupulin.
the opener
Grapefruit, a loud citrus nose. Opens the gate first.
Cryo · Yakimathe complexity
Blueberry, mango, stone fruit. Simcoe's own daughter.
Cryo · Yakimathe anchor
Pine, resin, sharp. Locks it into West Coast.
Cryo · Yakima530 litres. 139 kg of grain. Brewhouse efficiency 83.9% — past target on day one.
530 L brewed. WHC LAX yeast in.
Eleven points a day — yeast working hard.
Three days ahead of the model. The yeast rewrote it.
Crash, then the Cryo trinity in: Citra · Mosaic · Simcoe.
Zero hop creep. Diacetyl: clean.
Three words from the brewmaster's own glass — not the pre-launch guess. Even Uncle EM expected "pine"; the beer overruled him. Golden amber at EBC 11, diacetyl zero, a hop burp that arrives massive.
— EM, on his own beer.
"Next time will be better."
Keg-only, fresh. Twenty-three kegs went out the door — here is where they landed.
