IPA is Dead

For the last week we have been busy breaking new year's resolutions and brewing some limited edition single hop india pale ales. We have also been wearing many different types of hats and trying to come up with a secret recipe for 5am Saint tea (see above).

IPA is Dead is a mixed 4 pack of single hop IPAs. Using the same base 7.5% beer (a baby Hardcore), IPA is Dead showcases our 4 favourite hops from 4 corners of the planet. These beers will be available in early February.

At BrewDog we are insanely passionate about hats, rock ‘n’ roll penguins, avoiding ghosts and hops. We bloody love hops. We felt it was time hops went solo and got their own prime-time show.

IPA is dead showcases 4 killer hops varieties from 4 different continents. The result is 4 radically different single hop IPAs. Each IPA contains the same malt backbone and is brewed to be 75 IBU and is enthusiastically kettle hopped and dry hopped with Citra, Bramling Cross, Nelson Sauvin or Sorachi Ace.

To appreciate the true character, flavour, power and aroma of our favourite hops you need them in their purest, undiluted form. Can you say you've ever experienced 100% pure hop awesomeness? IPA is Dead is brewed and bottled to do just that.

Do you know which company are gonna distribute these in Sweden? Doesn't seem like Systembolaget is going to order these.

hmmmmm... "To appreciate the true character, flavour, power and aroma of our favourite hops you need them in their purest, undiluted form"

so why the feck is there crystal malt in the mash??? the ruin of so many American IPAs, you're hardly getting the 'pure' hop flavour with that nasty toffeeish stuff in the background...

still, look forward to trying them, single-hop Nelson Sauvin is the way forward!

Don't think you need to avoid ghosts. Goats maybe.

I'm interested in the malt percentage balance... Are you allowed to reveal it ?

The bottle displays Citra, the blog says Simcoe.
Both type are new hops, both kick throath

Is one of the hops used Simcoe or Citra? Some places on the blog say the one and other places say the other.
Thanks!
Love your beers and attitude!
