Some beers arrive quietly. Others feel like a sign of exciting things ahead. That is certainly the case with Presagio, the latest collaboration between Cacique Brewing Co. and Little Town Hoppiness. Marking the return of two familiar names to Puerto Rico’s craft beer scene, this New England IPA invites drinkers to embrace the unexpected and discover what the future may hold in every sip.
Beer lovers won’t have to wait long. Presagio officially releases on June 12 at the Cacique Brewing Co. Tap Room, giving fans the first opportunity to experience this tropical, hop-forward collaboration fresh from the source.
The Return of Two Familiar Names
For longtime followers of Puerto Rico’s craft beer community, Presagio represents more than just another beer release. It signals the return of Cacique Brewing Co. and Little Town Hoppiness, two brands that have helped shape the island’s evolving beer culture.
Their latest collaboration embraces creativity and showcases just how exciting local partnerships can be when talented brewers come together.
What to Expect From Presagio
Pouring with a signature hazy appearance and a silky body, Presagio delivers an aromatic burst of ripe pineapple, juicy mango, and bright citrus notes reminiscent of freshly grated orange peel.
Despite its expressive hop character, the bitterness remains soft and restrained, allowing the fruit-forward profile to take center stage.
At 7.5% ABV, Presagio balances richness with drinkability, creating a New England IPA that is both flavorful and approachable.
The Hops Behind the Haze
The beer’s layered character comes from a carefully selected hop lineup featuring Motueka, Nectaron, Riwaka, and Citra.
Motueka contributes lively citrus character, while Nectaron and Riwaka bring waves of tropical fruit. Citra ties everything together with its familiar notes of mango and bright citrus, resulting in a juicy hop profile that New England IPA fans will appreciate.
