Tennessee Brew Works, a highly celebrated independent craft brewery that has spent the last decade creating premium craft beers that pay tribute to the state of Tennessee, has teamed up with brewing aficionados White Labs and the hop experts over at Yakima Chief Hops to craft together a delectable new cold IPA.
Created using a blend of Talus, Simcoe and YCH 602 Trial hops in combination with Pilsner Malt, the 'Savage Gulf' cold IPA is a proudly West Coast-style IPA that happens to be named after Tennessee's 57th state park, Savage Gulf. Coming in at six percent ABV (alcohol by volume), this particular cold IPA offers a crisp drinking experience that will appeal to seasoned IPA aficionados as well as people who only occasionally dip into the format.
