    Being a big fan of the regular Wookey, I'm pretty excited for this one!

    From the release details:

    Wookey wonderland? We’re sippin’ in it! The Wookey has come in from the cold, and it’s fully reimagined for the season. Arctic Wookey is our classic black rye IPA reimagined with abominable amounts of flavor courtesy of a dank and resinous hop profile takes it to frigid new heights. It’s as black and cold as your blessed heart.

    Limited-edition draft pours and four-packs are available at our Venice Beach taproom now and will be hitting our Paso Robles and Buletton taprooms soon: https://firestone.beer/3n

    I love Black IPA (esp. Wookey). I love Cold IPA. I really hope they sell this online.

    Just grabbed a pack today.

    22 bucks which is a little on the 'pricier' side, but fuck man ...it's Woookey Jack and brewed at Propagator where i grabbed it.

    How does it taste versus regular Wookey? I still have Wookey from both their limited run (16oz cans in late 21/early 22) and their more widely distro'ed 12oz seasonal in late '22.

    I don't know if i can point out any noticeable differences in it. I would have to have them side by side .
    I can say , however, that i would rather have a six pack of Wookey than this based on the price .

    It's worth noting that regular Wookey Jack was $20 per 16oz 4-packs in 2021, because it was a small-batch brewed by Venice/Proprietor's.

    Yes, $20/$22 is a lot compared to most Firestone Walker beers but for a 4-pack of 8+% beers, it seems reasonable. And I just love Wookey that much.

    I have 0 regrets buying it . I also bought the small batch from Proprietors 2 times as well along with the wider distro 6 packs ; Compared to buying it on tap it's a no brainer . I just know i wont go back for more .

    If you love wookey, like i do, you will love this one . Hits better during this "colder" weather we have in LA
