New: Harpoon 100 Barrel Black IPA

Harpoon Brewery’s 40th release in the 100 Barrel Series is a Black IPA brewed by Harpoon’s own Matt DeLuca.  It was brewed with a new specialty malt called Midnight Wheat and flaked barley creating an almost stout-like appearance.  I wanted this Black IPA to be a very hop-forward beer; having a huge, hoppy nose was important to me said Matt.  He used Chinook, Simcoe, Cascade, Citra, and Ahtanum hops in the 7% ABV brew.

Style: Black IPA
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft

Atlanta Come Get SweetWater’s Newest: 420 IPA

SweetWater Brewing’s latest Dank Tank Series release 420 IPA has arrived. This most recent release is built off the famed 420 Pale Ale, but bigger. Hoppier. Boozier. (and after tasting it, such a bright hop flavor.)

Tingling with excitement, el dank hopped the fur bus and rolled to the panic show at The Fox.  Boogieing down to Chilly Water, he noodled into a cute little wookie that blew his mind and yanked him from some post show get down at the Clermont lounge.  Stumbling and bumbling with blondie, he got booted, and went home for some shut eye.  Dreaming of the wet wookie, he awoke to his dog licking his tongue, realizing he was late for his night shift at SweetWater.

Fumbling through his brew and dry hopping duties, el danko hit the wall, and passed out mid-shift. Waking up to Nick Nock screaming WTF, he frantically ran around putting out fires.  As the haze cleared he realized he had left the mill running, jacking up the OG and dry hopping the wrong tank.  Fuddied up after the most insane 36 hours, el Danko pondered his delirious creation, a chubby 420 India Pale Ale! Huh??? Ducking trouble, he quickly swept the abominable snowman  under the rug, as he sent the 420 IPA to the bottling line boys in an effort to hide his momentoustus F- up.

StyleImperial IPA
Taste Expectations:  420 IPA has everything in common with 42o pale ale.  It tastes like 420, but bigger. The hop flavors are bright & fresh.  The beer is complex & clean.  It’s 42o Pale on steroids.
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft

8.5% ABV
