Hoppy Christmas is a single hop simcoe IPA.

This Christmas, we're wishing for a green one. Where flurries of hop flakes deck the halls, filling the air with the crisp, delicious aromas of pineapple, citrus and papaya.
The reign of the snow angel is over. Salute the hop angel as you rocket down a hill, churning up clouds of hops on the back of a baking tray.

Raise a glass of our festive IPA and have a Hoppy Christmas folks!

This brewdog thing about the USA and in scotland is really pissing me off. It makes me not want to ever taste another brewdog again. Is it USA? Is it scotland? Who knows and who cares? Can we at least try to differentiate between companies? This is straight up ass and I'm done with BD. Go F yerself BD. And, BTW, I heard they treat their USA employees like shit in ohio. This IPA? It sucks like any other IPA, there you have it. One of a trillion IPA of a fad. BD in ohio is just trying to cash in on the the pandemic virus craft beer fad crossing the USA. So be it, so it is written! Alas, PMO they call this a Christmas beer? I think they better go ask for some christian forgiveness. It's an insult.
