Why Does It Hurt …
when IPA?
OG 14°P / IBU 74 / ABV 5.7
Introducing our Why Does It Hurt When IPA? a brew that’s as intriguing as its namesake song. Crafted with a blend of creativity and a touch of mischief, this beer boasts the vibrant spirit of Zappa hops, the unique Neo Mexicanus strain.
We’ve harmonized a complex malt composition featuring Munich 10, Carahell, Cara Munich 3, and CaraBohemian to lay the foundation for this enigmatic ale. Just as Frank Zappa pushed musical boundaries, we’ve pushed the limits of flavor with this brew.
Starting with a symphony of Columbus hops for a robust bitterness, we then cascade into a crescendo of aroma with generous additions of Cascade and Zappa hops. The result is a sensory experience that will have you asking, “Why does it burst with hoppy brilliance?” instead of the former question.
So, let your taste buds dance to the unconventional rhythm of our Why Does It Hurt When IPA? It’s a brew that’s as complex and intriguing as the musical genius who inspired it.
