Player:
Palate Wrecker

Team:
Green Flash Brewing

Player Stats:
Palate Wrecker was originally brewed for the Hamilton's Tavern 2nd Anniversary celebration. It's the most complicated West Coast inspired IPA we have ever brewed—mashing and sparging with hopped wort, in addition to our hop layering regimen for IPA. By popular demand, it is now released for the world to enjoy.

Player:
Double Up

Team:
Oggi's Pizza & Brewing

Player Stats:
This Double IPA uses Premium American 2– Row and a touch of light crystal malt to create a mellow malt foundation. Four different Hop Varieties are used in this beer. It spends one week dry hopping in the fermenter giving it a floral, slightly piney, grapefruit and citrus aroma. Unlike most Double IPAs, this beer shy’s away from a malty body and starts out with a clean bitterness that finishes off smooth and leaves you wanting more.

Player:
Idiot IPA

Team:
Coronado Brewing

Player Stats:
It doesn't take a genius to know quality West Coast IPA's require a stupid amount of hops. A generous blend of Nugget hops and the four C's "Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Columbus" brings forth a myriad of tropical fruit flavors and a brawny, persistent bitterness that makes for a highly intelligent brew.

Player:
Obliteration IX

Team:
Midnight Sun Brewing Company

Player Stats:
Obliteration IX is a rye double IPA based on Midnight Sun’s original Rye Not recipe. Rye gives this beer some sassy spicy notes. We used Citra for its juicy grapefruit properties and Saaz to complement the rye’s spice character. Obliteration IX is yet another exciting milestone on this “hop journey” we call the Obliteration series.

Obliterate the Senses.

Player:
Dark Depths

Team:
Boston Beer

Player Stats:
Dark, and fierce, this English porter was transformed, from a mild ale to a dark and complex lager that confounds definition. Immersed in dark, roasted malts and a bold citrus hop character, these big and contrasting flavors are brought together with the smoothness of a lager for a brew that’s rugged, mysterious, and full of flavor.

Player:
Sky Hag IPA

Team:
Airways Brewing

Player Stats:
The 99+ IBU is assertive and bright and the malt counterpoint is a perfect foil to the flowers and citrus. Notes of savory herbs, citrus peel, and white flowers float on a slick of dark caramel and roasted malts.

Player:
Hopslam Ale

Team:
Bell's Brewery Inc.

Player Stats:
Starting with six different hop varietals added to the brew kettle & culminating with a massive dry-hop addition of Simcoe hops, Bell's Hopslam Ale possesses the most complex hopping schedule in the Bell's repertoire. Selected specifically because of their aromatic qualities, these Pacific Northwest varieties contribute a pungent blend of grapefruit, stone fruit, and floral notes. A generous malt bill and a solid dollop of honey provide just enough body to keep the balance in check, resulting in a remarkably drinkable rendition of the Double India Pale Ale style.

Player:
Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale

Team:
Stone Brewing

Player Stats:
Style: Black IPA
We're brewers whose substantial mettle and idiomatic approach to brewing allows us to consistently create works of art such as this justifiably self-righteous ale. Its bitterness hits our sweet spot. Its blackness lightens our hearts. Its liquid dichotomy pulls it all together in this sublimely sacrosanct ale. Yes, we damn well know our stuff here at Stone, and it would be irresponsible of us not to acknowledge how remarkable this heavenly creation of ours is. Thus the name we are compelled to give it --- Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale --- serves as a reminder of just how good we are, in both liquid and verbal form. We're certainly not perfect. Too often, we allow our modesty to get the best of us as we're simply not inclined towards senseless braggadocio. When you're good, you're good. And when you do something great, the least you can do is acknowledge it. Others benefit from knowing. In this case, we find that we are compelled to point out how amazing this ale is that we rightly call the Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale. First brewed in 2007 as the Stone 11th Anniversary Ale, this ale was an instant hit. With us. Other folks with great taste loved it too, but we were focused on how much we liked it, and we felt it was truly sublime. That euphoria didn't last long though, as it was soon replaced with the grim reality that when we sold out of it there wouldn't be any more. For us. And that was simply unacceptable. So, we are now blessing ourselves, and you the enlightened, with this ale. Thusly, you may now revel in your own self-righteousness as you see fit with this glorious example of ours. You are genuinely welcome, as it is our pleasure.

Bright and intense with a vivid hop punch. We were inspired by Capt.

Robust. Brewed with a "Heelch" (that means "a lot" in Boontling) of
Columbus, Chinook, and Cascade hops, our double IPA has a palate pleasing bitterness that is artfully balanced with a full-bodied malt foundation. With a deep color of polished brass and a nose that sings of pink grapefruit and redwood needles, the rich biscuit-like malt flavors are intertwined with hints of vanilla, mangos, and peppercorns leading to a deep, warming finish.

Stone Enjoy By 02.15.13 IPA

Team:
Stone Brewing

Player Stats:
Style: Imperial IPA
You have in your hands a devastatingly fresh double IPA. While freshness is a key component of many beers - especially big, citrusy, floral IPAs - we've taken it further, a lot further, in this IPA. You see, we specifically brewed it NOT to last. We've not only gone to extensive lengths to ensure that you're getting this beer in your hands within an extraordinarily short window, we made sure that the Enjoy By date isn't randomly etched in tiny text somewhere on the label, to be overlooked by all but the most attentive of retailers and consumers. Instead, we've sent a clear message with the name of the beer itself that there is no better time than right now to enjoy this IPA.

Player:
Wookey Jack

Team:
Firestone Walker Brewing

Player Stats:
Wookey Jack is our first foray into the dark outer world of black IPAs. Rich dark malts and spicy rye careen into bold citrus laden hops creating a new dimension in IPA flavor. This brew has been left unfiltered and unfined to retain all of its texture and character. At 80 IBUs, Wookey Jack is gnarly on the outside yet complex and refined on the inside.

Take your taste buds on a journey to the far side of the world. New Zealand’s legendary Nelson Sauvin hop gives us a powerful hoppy character, but none of the heaviness you sometimes find in Imperial IPAs.
