This is a collaboration brew with our friends at The Social Project Brewing Company in Bentonville, Arkansas. When we collaborate on beers from different regions we will choose an artist and/or song from that region, here we chose “Who Do You Love” by Ronnie Hawkins. A double IPA that features abundant flavors of juicy melons, ripe red berries and bright citrus fruits. Generously dry hopped causing super dank aromas that will hit your nose before you even take your first sip. A delicious bitter bite will keep you coming back for more. Tell me, who do you love? Oh, it is this double IPA for sure, and it’s super limited, only available on draft in the taproom and can be found in exclusive locations throughout Arkansas.
