Originally created in collaboration with the sinister hopped minds at Kaiju! Beer, our 2026 monster is a continuation of our annual fresh hop series, bursting with a monstrous blend of fresh-from-the-bine Luna®, Galaxy®, Vic Secret™ hops, thanks to our friends down the road at HPA. This hop creature will have you willingly sacrificing yourself for more.
Brewer Tasting Notes: “Hop Monster DIPA is a big, bold, and unapologetically hop‑driven Double IPA bursting with intense tropical character. This year’s iteration leans hard into a juicy mango punch, thanks to a heavier hand with Luna hops, bringing a softer, riper tropical profile compared to last year’s Galaxy-forward brew. Full‑bodied with a sturdy malt backbone, it balances firm, assertive bitterness with waves of mango, grapefruit, and zesty citrus, layered with subtle resinous pine. Despite its strength, the smooth ABV keeps it dangerously drinkable, finishing long, bitter, and deeply satisfying.”
