\nThis yuletide IPA is brewed with a sleighful of hops, orange zest, and foraged spruce tips. Our gift of pine and citrus is wrapped in a warm malt backbone that is sure to bring holiday cheer.<\/p>\n
250 Pounds of Spruce tips went into the beer, which were hand-foraged by our staff at Starker Forests in the Coast Range. 100 pounds of orange zest add the perfect amount of fruity flavor.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It\u2019s a hefty and warming imperial IPA at 9.2% alcohol by volume, and one of several specialty seasonals the brewery releases for the holidays. It\u2019s a good beer to kick off this annual feature and I do indeed wish everyone a hoppy holidays!<\/p>\n
