Fishwater is brewed for balance leading to a “dangerously drinkable” double IPA at 8.5% ABV.
This drinkability is intentionally crafted by combining the sweet caramel notes from grains with generous amounts of spicy, fruity American hops.

The beer is named after a our brewmaster and founder Chris Fish, who everyone calls Fish, and one of his favorite Widspread Panic songs.

Most of us, including Fish, would tell you the colors of the can and logo are orange and blue for the Broncos, except for our other founder, Tommy, who thinks they’re for the New York Mets.

Sampled from a can. Pours a clear, light brown color, with a medium, bubbly, tan head. The nose is rye, resin, earth, and a bit of cocoa. Very bitter and surprisingly malty. Heavy body, with a crisp, sticky, and chewy mouthfeel. This is a pretty nice, malty DIPA. Interesting.

Juicy citrus splash of flavor up front with a medium bitter hop finish. Thick creamy body to it. Cool late palate. Easy drinking double, quite refreshing.
