2025 marks the 12th anniversary of the release of Of Foam & Fury, Ireland’s first Double IPA, and a lot has changed since then. We’ve gone all in with the full modern representation of this recipe. Triple dry hopped and loaded with Simcoe. For this edition, we’ve returned to Simcoe, which was always the driving force behind this distinctive dank DIPA. Simcoe is a glorious hop packed with pine and citrus and brings us back to the great California DIPAs we fell in love with all those years ago. We’ve built on a new pillowy base of oats, wheat and pale malt that gives a modern canvas that allows the classic California hops to sing.
Hopped with Simcoe, Mosaic and Chinook.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild haze on this gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Light semi dry palate, a good fine minerally crisp snap. Pretty thin pale malts and, an equally thin sweetness. Crisp cooling pine, mild hop spice. Floral semi ripe citrus. Little mandarin and tangerine. Perhaps a trace of modern Simcoe pineapple. Light finish leaves a mildly hop spicy linger. Not bad.
