New beer highlights this week from Bay Area breweries

SAN FRANCISCO — New beers are out all over the bay this week including some IPAs, a Pilsner and a specialty Oktoberfest brew. With these last few warm weekends, take advantage of the beautiful weather and a beer.

East Bay

Fieldwork Brewing Company — Now on tap at the Berkeley taproom is Pulp Northeast IPA. This brew has over-ripened peaches to go with the hops that are also in the beer. “PULP is what happens when we take our Pulp Free IPA and package it without any fining agents, leaving it turbid and creamy,” Fieldwork explained on Facebook. “High protein grains are used to guarantee not just body, but also that trademark haze we have come to enjoy from the beasts of the east.”

Uncommon Brewers — The brewery’s new canned beer is a Czech-style pilsner called Japonica Pils. It was brewed with wasabi root and ginger. “We hit a delicious balance between the pilsner malt body, grassy Bohemian hops, and the subtle mustard heat of wasabi on the finish,” the brewery said in a social media post.
