Good Word Brewing and Public House in Duluth reopened for dine in service in June, but it’s still offering both beer and food to-go Wednesdays-Sundays.
One of brewpub’s newest beers is We Are America — a double IPA made in collaboration with ATL Beer Gang, with a portion of the proceeds going directly to the Equal Justice Initiative.
And with that in mind, We Are America is this week’s double woke Beer Pick.

Profile
Good Word’s We Are America is an 8.5% alcohol double IPA brewed with over 4 pounds of dry-hops. The collaboration with ATL Beer Gang will send part of the proceeds directly to the Equal Justice Initiative.
Good Word partner and brewer Todd DiMatteo says, “We used heaps and heaps of Amarillo, Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe.” And along with those heavy hop additions, the malt bill includes Weyermann Pils, plus oat malt, a mixture of flaked and “naked” oats, and wheat. The result a big, chewy double IPA, with notes of pine resin and grapefruit, and a balance of bitter and sweet.
Pair with
DiMatteo recommends pairing We Are America with Good Word’s Cornish game hen tacos. But I think it would work well with several other menu items, too, including hot wings and fried okra with horseradish aioli.
