Monday Night Slap Fight canned today

Monday Night Slap Fight is officially being canned this morning (March 21st). This is the Atlanta, Georgia based brewery’s first canned beer.

Instead of canning one of the brewery’s flagship offerings, co-founder Jonathan Baker tells Beer Street Journal that he saw it as an opportunity to go a different way by launching something new – Monday Night Slap Fight.

Slap Fight is an India pale ale, brewed with Comet, Equinox, Mosaic, and Bravo hops. Different from the brewery’s Eye Patch IPA, which leans a bit more English-style IPA. This newbie is all American West Coast IPA you’ve come to know and love.

Slap Fight will woo you in with West Coast-style malt bill. but slaps you across the face with its tropical hop profile. Light in body, heavy in character, this IPA features Munich and Crystal pole malts for a clean, rich rnouthfeel.

Monday Night Slap Fight will be a 12 ounce can offering only.

Style: IPA
Hops: Comet, Equinox, Mosaic, Bravo
Availability: 12oz Cans
Release: Late March, 2016
