**INTERNATIONAL IPA DAY IS TOMORROW!**
So get well read and educate yourself via the latest preview of what we'll be slinging on Thursday. 👇
🔴 REDLINE CYPHER (6.5% Red IPA) - KAIJU Beer × Hop Nation × Mountain Culture Beer Co
Copper-red with a glowing ruby hue, this Red IPA bursts with aromas of spiced orange, ripe passionfruit, and juicy nectarine. Rich caramel malt and hints of Milo provide a comforting backbone, balancing vibrant hop flavours that echo the nose. Full-bodied and satisfyingly bold, it finishes with a generous, lingering bitterness that keeps you coming back for another sip.
