Terrapin Beer Co. (Athens, GA) second can in their lineup, Hi-5 IPA was canned this week, at Two Road Brewing in Connecticut. The brewery has been using Two Road’s canning line while making a decision on a full time canning program.
To no one’s surprise, cans will be sticking around in Terrapin’s portfolio. A canning line is currently on a boat to the brewery from Italy.
Hi-5 IPA, dubbed a California style India Pale Ale, is also a year round offering. Hi-5 is hoppier than RecreationAle, but less boozy than Hopsecutioner at 7.3%. Look for cans to hit shelves in May, 2014.
