North Park Beer Company knows a thing or two about crispy, and Crispy-Fu! delivers exactly what the name promises. This one takes the brewery’s signature hoppy sensibility and dials in a beer built for pure refreshment, piney edge and all.
Appearance
Crispy-Fu! pours a beautifully clear, robust gold color, with a nice large bubbly head that — true to North Park form — doesn’t stick around for long (IYKYK).
Aroma
North Park’s Untappd listing describes Crispy-Fu! as blending favorite hops from both New Zealand and the Pacific Northwest, giving the nose the intensely hoppy citrus-and-pine aromatics of an IPA in a friendlier, more sessionable package.
Tasting Notes
As-advertised crispness leads the charge, complemented by a subtle piney hoppiness that adds just enough depth without weighing the beer down.
Mouthfeel & Drinkability
Crisp is the name of the game, and Crispy-Fu! delivers on it fully — this is a beer built to refresh, not to linger.
Food Pairings
The crisp, piney profile pairs well with grilled and smoky fare. Try it with:
- Grilled bratwurst – The crispness cuts through the richness of the sausage.
- Rosemary roasted potatoes – Echoes the beer’s piney character.
- Grilled asparagus – Light and green, a natural match for the hoppy edge.
- Smoked gouda – The pine notes play well against the smokiness.
Final Notes
Crispy-Fu! is a clean, piney crusher that earns its 4.5/5 by doing exactly what its name promises. A great reminder that North Park Beer Company can do crisp just as well as they do juicy.
