(Scripps Ranch, CA) – Ballast Point Sculpin IPA just won its second gold medal at the World Beer Cup and has a new label to go with it.

The victory in the International Pale Ale category was one of three golds that the brewery took home this past weekend. The other two beers were Fathom India Pale Lager and Barrel-Aged Piper Down Scottish Ale.

The brewery just released some more Sculpin bottles this past week and it sounds like there could be a lot more Sculpin coming in the future. I don’t think the new label was featured on this recent batch (though if any locals want to correct me, please do). Per last week’s newsletter:

“We also just broke ground on our new brewery expansion up at Scripps Ranch. Literally, broke into the ground. Behind the brewery sits a three to four foot deep pit which will be filled with concrete this coming Friday. Once that concrete has some time to cure, we will install, plumb, and brew into our 4 brand spanking new 200bbl fermenters. By the time summer rolls around we should be able meet and exceed all the beer demands of a thirsty San Diego. That means Sculpin for all and the possibility of fun new brews!”

For spirit fans, the brewery is also releasing a new one soon from its distillery:

“[…] the impending release of our newest spirit, Three Sheets Rum. It is a barrel aged rum distilled from evaporated cane juice and aged in brand new oak barrels. The first bottles were filled just last week and will be at a retailer near you in the coming weeks.”
