Er, I mean, Happy New Year! Well, actually I mean both! This past year has been a great one here at IHWC. We’ve brewed a ton of great beers (Chuck’s Beard, Mahalo Apollo) begun a killer barrel aging program (10 currently filled and more on the horizon… Hooray for barrel racks!), and hosted some exciting and innovative new events (Saison-a-Thon, Gathering of the Gourds). And what a better way to celebrate/ ring in the new year than roll out a massive hop bomb of a double IPA.
Ladies and Gentleman, I am pleased to introduce West Chester to the only beer too hoppy for superman… Kryptonite! Brewed with over 3lbs of hops per barrel, and weighing in at 9.5%, this copper colored ale has intense grassy, citrusy, herbal notes, and weighs in at 100 IBU. This is easily the strongest hoppy beer brewed in this fair borough! That is until Malthra the Destroyer (American Barleywine) hits the taps in a month. Come on! You didn’t think we’d let Hopzilla rule the monster themed hoppy beers forever, did you?
