Brooklyn Brewery certainly knows a thing or two about delicious craft beers as well as the impact and appeal of pop art, being located in a neighborhood that has long held strong associations with both of these phenomena, so it's perhaps no surprise that the brewery has gone about releasing a beer that pays tribute to both these iconic movements in the form of a strong double IPA.
The Brooklyn Pulp Art Hazy Double IPA is designed to function as a stronger and bolder version of its predecessor, the Pulp Art Hazy IPA, as is perhaps best underlined by its ABV of 8 percent.
In the words of brewmaster Garrett Oliver, this double IPA's tasting notes touch on "the tropicality of pineapple and stone fruit flavors, especially peach and apricot."
