This Imperial IPA breaks all the rules with more malt, more hops and more aroma. We made the biggest, hoppiest IPA we could imagine and aged it on oak for good measure. Crisis? What Crisis? In the early 2000s, when hop prices shot through the roof and the worldwide hop market went into a tailspin, at our pub in San Francisco we decided there was only one thing for us to do. Join Shaun and Nico on their adventure to Free the Hops! First, they plan a daring escape through the sewer pipe, then they surf monster waves on ironing boards, and finally they attempt a high speed cable car getaway.
