It’s official: SnowBrains and Distant Brewing are partnering to create a limited-time SnowBrains Session IPA. SnowBrains CEO & Founder Miles Clark visited Distant Brewing in Mammoth Lakes, California, to come up with a Session IPA that draws inspiration from Miles’s favorite beers, including IPAs from the beer capital of the world—Bariloche, Argentina. Miles has spent the past thirteen summers skiing in Bariloche, a town that is home to some of the best skiing in the world and over 50 breweries. The result is a smoother IPA with less bite and a little less alcohol.
SnowBrains is looking for your help in deciding what beer can should be chosen for the SnowBrains Session IPA. Comment on this article your favorite option from the photo below to have your say in the design (Also peep the brewing process at the bottom of the page if you want a basic idea of how beer gets made!).
The SnowBrains Session IPA will be available for a limited time only at Distant Brewing in Mammoth Lakes, California, starting on June 17.

The Brewing Process in 8 Basic Steps
- Crack the barley and put in it into the first tank.
- 650lbs of barley and hot water go into the first tank.
- Filter out the seed material.
- 2nd tank: boil hot barley water and sterilize it then add hops.
- A heat exchanger cools the ‘wort’ (hot barley hop water) to 60ºF.
- 3rd tank: add a brick of yeast and ferment for 2 weeks (Yeast: Feed, Fuck, Fart, as the brewers like to joke!)
- After 2 weeks, take out the yeast and add in “dry hops” to make it hoppier.
- Once the flavor is right (checked by tasting) pour the finished product into kegs and enjoy.
