  "body": "Two releases crossed my desk this week, one on each side of Cannabaceae. Both hit hard. Both want the same thing from your palate.\n\n## On Call West Coast IPA\n\n*El Segundo Brewing — new* Here & Now *fresh taproom release.*\n\n**6.2% ABV.** Hops: Simcoe, El Dorado, Riwaka.\n\n- **Simcoe** — classic West Coast backbone. Pine, passionfruit, grapefruit.\n- **El Dorado** — tropical and stone fruit. Pear, watermelon, candied citrus.\n- **Riwaka** — rare New Zealand hop, hard to source. Intensely aromatic, lime zest and fresh grapefruit. When a brewery puts Riwaka on a can, they mean it.\n\n## 710 Labs Cold Creek Kush\n\n*MK Ultra × Chem 91. Indica-dominant hybrid.*\n\n**~24% THC, 2.8% terpenes.**\n\n- **Nose:** funky Kush, diesel, gas, subtle citrus underneath.\n- **Effect:** fast onset, euphoric head, relaxing body. Not a couch-lock. Some sativa sparkle through the indica frame.\n- 710 Labs grows in-house, organic, hand-trimmed, top colas only.\n\n## Why they pair\n\nCannabis and hops are in the same plant family — *Cannabaceae*. They share aromatic terpenes: myrcene, humulene, caryophyllene. Humulene is literally *named after hops*. A myrcene-forward Kush next to a hop-forward IPA means the noses line up. Nothing fights.\n\nThe Riwaka does the reaching across the table. The Kush meets it halfway. El Segundo for both.",
