Like the Pineapple Hefeweizen, 1,300 cases of Sundiver cans will be released.
Nord used Columbus and Chinook hops for bittering and loads of El Dorado, Citra and Chinook for flavor. Made with 4.5 pounds of hops per barrel, the beer has a tropical burst up front with a lingering bitterness on the back end.

The newest addition to Scuttlebutt’s seasonal rotating can series is a tropical-yet-not-hazy IPA. It was a big hit, Scuttlebutt head brewer Eric Nord said. They shipped out 1,300 cases and sold out in two months. Earlier this summer, Scuttlebutt released Pineapple Hefeweizen, a fruity hef that was first brewed as a one-off, in 12-ounce cans. Many of those one-off beers are now being fast-tracked into production. That change has started to move over to the actual product. Think that small indie band you liked in college compared to U2. And while both tiny nanobreweries and medium-sized craft breweries like Scuttlebutt are both independently creating good beer, there is a “cool” factor the smaller guys naturally receive.
Over the past few years, it’s created a stratum in the new world of craft breweries. It’s like a bunch of rabbits running circles around the feet of a lumbering elephant. Young, nimble breweries pumping out wildly extravagant beers each week to rave reviews on beer rating websites get all the attention, while Scuttlebutt dutifully brews giant batches of old favorites to send to taps and shelves around the world. Since Scuttlebutt opened in 1996, the craft beer boom has created upstart breweries around the county. Along with Diamond Knot, it has been around longer than anyone else, and it sells more beer than any other brewery on shelves from here to Europe and Asia. Scuttlebutt Brewing is one of the elder statesmen of Snohomish County breweries.
