For ten years, our mission has been to brew exceptional beer. To celebrate this milestone, we’ve created Top Ten, the centerpiece of our anniversary series and the pilar of our 10th birthday celebrations.

This commemorative DDH DIPA represents everything we’ve learned and everything we love. Its design is a tribute to the landscapes, flora, and fauna of the Basque Country that make our home so special. We selected the cream of the crop hops to give it a lush and bold character, with 25g/L of hops that bring out intense tropical notes accompanied by red fruits like blackcurrant. It has a pungent “dank” character and a full-bodied mouthfeel that takes the beer straight to the top.

Soon, as we celebrate our decade of brewing, we will also be launching a series of collaboration beers that explore this theme with some of our friends from breweries around the world.

But first, take a moment to raise a glass with us as we sing “Happy Birthday” and offer a heartfelt “cheers” to all of you who have been with us for these ten years. Here’s to many more years to come!

HOPS: Citra, Strata, Superdelic, Galaxy

(Draft at Craft & Draft, Amsterdam, 27 Feb 2026) Cloudy golden colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with tropical fruit, pineapple, papaya and herbs. Fruity taste with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, pineapple, papaya, peaches, lemon, herbs, white bread and a balanced citric/herbal bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Strongish, hoppy and juicy, Very nice.
