Hop Shocker

Creator, Dave Hurley
Loaded with hops and shockingly juicy. This citrus-heavy double IPA is deceivingly smooth, while packing an intense aroma. We know we’re supposed to treat all our children equally, but we can’t help but show this one a little extra love.

Our Hop Shocker is a surge to the senses of aromas, hop flavours and bitterness that any IPA fan will love. A Double IPA is also referred to as an Imperial IPA. Should an acquaintance ask for a recommendation, you know where to direct them.

Our Head Brewer has likened this beer to Sunny Delight for Adults. We’ll boldly make that claim until the cease and desist order is received.

“As the name suggest this Double IPA is going to shock all your senses.”
THE STYLE
Double India Pale Ales or Imperial IPAs, are similar in style to an Indian Pale Ale but with more hops and malt added to develop a richer texture and a higher ABV. Most DIPA’s are heavily dry hopped and sometimes have hops added in the mash as well. This achieves the strong bitterness and hop aromatics that people have come to love.

THE HISTORY

This style would share the same history as the Indian Pale Ale. The DIPA style has been claimed to be originated at Blind Pig Brewery in California, in 1994, brewed by Vinnie Cilurzo. The Double IPA creation followed the hype and popularity of IPA’s that were being brewed by American Breweries and craft brewers at the time.
