DR. KRUNKLES WHITE FARMHOUSE IPA
Side Project vol. 20
ABV: 7.3% IBU: 70
The legendary hop-hunter Krunkles turns up yet again, back from a tour of the Orient. His mission this time is to get experimental; his unbounded travels have earned him an honorary doctorate (“Doctor of what?”, you may ask? This would be a question to which only Krunkles knows the answer…) and he’s sequestered himself in the lab perfecting a never-before-seen formula for his beloved IPA.
Dr. Krunkles White Farmhouse IPA reaches new heights in complexity and flavor by combining the malt and spices of a Belgian Witbier, the yeast of a Farmhouse Ale, and the hoppy goodness of an American IPA. Krunkles’ twisted touch is a dash of white peppercorn followed by wood aging on white ash.
The Doctor is in starting in September!
More to Look Forward To…
OAKED BIG HOPPY MONSTER
Monster Beer Tour
ABV: 10.6% IBU: 85
The monster rides again! Our Oaked Big Hoppy Monster returns for the fall shift of the Monster Beer Tour. Don’t let the name of this hopped-up hotrod fool you; this substantial red ale has a monstrous malt backbone to complement the intense hoppy profile and notes of vanilla and oak.
REUNION ALE ’13: A BEER FOR HOPE
Special Release
ABV: 7.9% IBU: 38
Beer is social. Beer brings everyone together in camaraderie and conversation, and it’s for this very reason that beer also inspires collaboration.
For the third year in a row, we’ve partnered with Shmaltz Brewing Co. to bring you Reunion: A Beer For Hope.
The Reunion Project began in 2007 to honor the life of Virginia MacLean and to benefit the Institute for Myeloma and Bone Cancer Research. Terrapin has been involved in the project since 2009.
This year’s variation brings in a local buzz: Reunion Ale ’13 is a dark ale brewed with cinnamon, vanilla, cocoa nibs/shells from Olive & Sinclair, and coffee from Athens’-own Jittery Joe’s Coffee.
