Mother Earth Brew CompanyHop DiggityImperial/Double IPA | 8% ABV | 100 IBUOffered By: SANTA |
This DIPA is a bad ass. Straight up. It’s hopiness isn’t just limited to the floral nose or lingering bitterness but a full hop flavor all the way through your palate. We bitter with a Super Alpha, and follow it up with a few flavoring additions throughout the boil. A massive dry hop of Simcoe and Amarillo create a huge aroma profile that really comes through in a big way.

Real Ale Brewing CompanyRed KingImperial Red Ale | 8.6% ABV | 75 IBUOffered By: CHEETO |
When the siren calls you go, and when the people speak the brewers answer. After much fanfare our Imperial Red has been crowned the Red King, the first of its kind to move from humble Brewers’ Cut beginnings to Real Ale’s year round royalty. This unflinching ale is deep crimson in appearance, demanding fealty to both its English malt heritage and a surfeit of American hops. Pay tribute to your king, and run with the wolf!

Drakes Brewing CompanyDENOGGINIZERImperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) | 9.75% ABV | 90 IBUOffered By: KAY JAY |
In January of 2004, Drake’s brewers sought to create a beer to turn some heads. They crafted a massive Imperial IPA with a full body, smooth malt backbone, and an utterly irresponsible amount of pungent, dank, American hops. After three weeks in the tanks and one minor incident involving a pressure relief valve jettisoning across the cellar and nearly decapitating a brewer, a beer, and its name, were born. Citizens be warned, even without a tank valve careening at high speeds, Denogginizer has been know to blow a few minds.

Real Ale Brewing CompanyCommissarRussian Imperial Stout | 9.8% ABV | 75 IBUOffered By: FATBOY |
This noble brew evolved from its common cousins, porter and stout, by necessity to endure the long voyage to the Russian royal court. Colossal additions of American hops are used to balance the robust malt character and infuse this ale with their distinctly citrus-like qualities. The Commissar can be consumed now or laid down for further enjoyment. Take some home to share with friends and family at your court.
