Half Acre Heyoka

In the years that we've been twisting out beers, we've never packaged an IPA for regular distribution. We've been neck deep in our sea of hoppy waters, but have only thrown out IPA's as special release relationships. We've taken on a program that has us sending out seasonal cans that hang around for some months. It gives us and you a chance to introduce yourself, whip up a firm handshake and live with each other for a clip. Akari Shogun was an initial partner in this scheme, but as the Shogun hibernates till spring, we introduce another brew.

Heyoka is a western charged firecracker. We conjured the classics in Chinook and Amarillo then laid them on a bed of pale malt. This India Pale Ale shoots straight to the bitter edge before falling into a mellow haze. Deep gold, 7% ABV and ready to travel into the distance. The Heyoka resides in the opposite and is said to use the wind as sticks to beat the drum of thunder.
