Brewed for Collabageddon 2025. Brook from Brolly came to brew with us years ago, when Brolly was in the formative stages. We formed a friendship which led to this beer! The recipe leans on one of Brolly's early IPA creations but we've given it the BIPA treatment because what even is Collabageddon without one! Expect a moderate roast profile intertwined with a punchy hop character from Simcoe, Wai-Iti, Nelson Sauvin and Citra!

Can from Against The Grain. Hazy dark brown body with a beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of charred pineapple, coffee beans and lime chutney. Flavour of pine, roasted malt and orange. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A soft and approachable BIPA. It’s pretty good.
