Twisted Pine Hoppy Man Imperial India Pale Ale Returns
Boulder, Colorado – March 2011 – It’s that time of year again; Twisted Pine Brewing Company is releasing its spring seasonal Hoppy Man Imperial IPA. The much anticipated return of this manly brew takes place Friday, March 11th at the Twisted Pine Ale House with 22oz bombers available at select liquor stores the week after. This 9% ABV seasonal India Pale Ale comes around each March with big, bold flavors that burst with aroma provided by generous dry hopping from a variety of hops including Northern Brewer, Chinook, Simcoe and Cascade.
Hoppy Man is renowned for its massive grapefruit sensation and multiple layers of piquancy derived from its 100 IBU count, which is harmonized with a high alcohol content and huge grain bill.
“When it comes to making a great IPA, balance is the hardest part to achieve,” says Hoperations Manager Eric Mosiman. “We are all very proud of both the complexities and equilibrium in this two-fisted brew.”
Hoppy Man was initially developed as an experimental beer for the Great American Beer Festival but is back by popular demand. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience Hoppy Man, a very limited amount is being released and the taps are certain to run dry quickly. “Hoppy Man finally gives Hoppy Boy [Twisted Pine’s flagship IPA] a father figure to look up to,” endears Mosiman.
Hoppy Man joins Twisted Pine’s premium Timberline Series along with Reilly’s Oak Whiskey Red, Le Petit Saison, Hoppy Knight IBA, Billy’s Chilies and Espresso Stout.
