Troegs Perpetual IPA going year-round

Great news. Now we just need to get Nugget Nectar year-round, too... and bring back Rugged Trail while we're at it.

Sad news. I can't burn through an entire half-barrel of hoppy beer fast enough for it to not lose it's *shine*. Sixtels are imperative for the *personal consumption* market, IMO.

Hopefully it sells well at bars, to insure continued production until the day comes that 1/6 barrels are available, because I'd love to put this on draft in my basement.

 

Or any IPA, year round or otherwise.

June 1st

Troegs knew they had a winner on their hands when they released Perpetual IPA. Every time someone knew I was going to step a foot in Pennsylvania I was asked to bring some back. (That and Nugget Nectar, duh.) Well, out of the mouths of Trogners, Perpetual IPA is returning. Year round. Hop it up. Ships June 1st. In all Troegs markets by mid- June, 2012.

In our constant evolution as a brewery, we’ve developed on undying drive to meld the organic and the mechanical. Perpetual IPA utilizes our hopback and dry-hopping to engineer a bold Imperial Pale Ale. Perpetual IPA is 7.5% ABV and 85 IBUs. It features Bravo, Chinook and Mt. Hood hops in the boil, Mt. Hood and Nugget hops in the hop- back and Citra, Cascade and Nugget hops in dry-hopping.

“Straw in color and bittered with an abundance of citrus and spicy hops, Perpetual IPA is a tribute to building our new brewery and our desire to continue exploring,”
