Legend has it that in the mid 1800s, some of the ships delivering beer from England to India chose to make a stop off the California coast to dry hop their precious cargo. But this wasn't an easy task. To harvest these hops they would have to dive into the underwater hop fields and face the beast known as the krHOPen. The krHOPen would use its tenacious tentacles to protect its beloved hop cones. Brewed with Nugget, Apollo, Cascade and Chinook, we dedicate this IPA to the brewers lost at sea fighting the beast.
