We're ecstatic to announce the release of our new Triple IPA, a monumental collaboration with our friends at Fieldwork Brewing Co. This high-ABV hop bomb is surprisingly light on its feet and relentlessly drinkable. To achieve this, we employed a unique brewing technique, adding a hefty dose of flaked rice to the mash. This ensures a crisp, clean body that delivers maximum flavor intensity without any cloying sweetness, setting the stage for the massive hop charge to follow.
The foundation of this IPA is a salute to classic C-Hops: Chinook and Cascade from Billy Goat Hop Farms. The Chinook provides the powerful, old-school backbone with assertive notes of resiny pine and pungent grapefruit character. The Cascade complements this intensity by adding its signature layer of zesty, floral citrus, a profile that helped define the American IPA style. The resulting complexity reveals delicious berry undertones that round out the initial bitterness and resin.
To achieve ultimate hop saturation and aroma, we hit this beer with an epic double dry hop. Beyond utilizing more of the exceptional Chinook and Cascade from Billy Goat, we amplified the aroma with a substantial late-fermentation blend of CRYO Citra and CRYO Cascade supplied by Yakima Chief Hops. The concentrated lupulin of these CRYO Hops minimizes vegetal matter while maximizing flavor, supercharging the beer with notes of bright passionfruit, lime, and intense tropical fruit.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear gold copper colored body that supports a thin off white head of foam. The aroma offers up candied pine hops and then thin clouds of tropical to white grapes. The taste delivers a pleasing resiny pine hop depth of bitterness that demands some joyful chewing. Yes. Toward midway the pine is joined by mild sweet caramel malts and vague tropical hoppiness. This slaps.
