Celebrating the magic at the intersection of art and ales, our annual Off-Centered Art Series is a chance for our brewers to take a walk on the wild side and with our latest innovation, that’s precisely what they did with ‘Where the Wild Hops Are!’
This unfiltered, rustic IPA is brewed with four wild-derived hop varieties that include Zappa, Amarillo, Comet and Sabro. It’s then blended with a touch of barrel-aged wild ale that’s been aged for four years in French Oak barrels.
The result is a complex blend of citrus meets dank, that’s rounded out by a touch of wild. With each sip, you’ll be greeted by dry, oak-tinged finish.
With artwork imagined by our 2022 Art Series artist Max Mahn, Where the Wild Hops Are features a wild creature was able to sneak in, take a giant bite out of the hop, and get away scot-free!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mom’s out there.
This is definitely a unique IPA. I added the description I found to the beer profile for this as it is quite unique in how it is brewed.
I get mainly an earthy herbal hops taste with some light fruit that leans towards white grapes & pear. There is also a very light tartness to it that I’m assuming is coming from the wild ale aspect.
Overall it is just different. I could see some loving it and some not.
I have had a crazy weekend but finally get to relax now. It’s also been rainy, windy, cold and just plain miserable all weekend. It’s nice to get to watch tv with some rugby, football, baseball, hockey & basketball (great time of year). I’m flipping thru the games but love the rugby (even tho I don’t truly understand all the rules). I’m keeping that on one of the tv’s.
