American Double / Imperial IPA

By doubling down on the American IPA formula, the American brewers created new levels of hop flavor and intensity.

Generally a pale gold to a deep copper, these beers are sometimes hazy or cloudy if dry hopped or unfiltered. Like the American IPA that it's based on, the flavor profile of this beer can vary - but it is almost always fairly aggressive. Copious American hops - often citrus, piney, and floral - are balanced by a relatively large amount of alcohol and plenty of caramel malts. Hop bitterness is almost universally high, and the ABV is often 7% or above.

The term "Imperial" comes from Russian Imperial Stout, a style of strong beer originally brewed in England for the Russian Imperial Court of the late 1700s. Best served cool, 46-54 degrees, in stemmed tulip, beer snifter, or large wine glass.

Monkey's Uncle is packed with hoppy goodness from huge additions of Columbus, Chinook, Centennial, and Simcoe hops during the brewing and conditioning processes. The hops are balanced with generous amounts of American two row and Crystal malts. If you like hops, this one is for you!

Pliny the Elder is brewed with Amarillo, Centennial, CTZ, and Simcoe hops. It is well-balanced with malt, hops, and alcohol, slightly bitter with a fresh hop aroma of floral, citrus, and pine. Best enjoyed FRESH! That is why we make it in such limited supply.
