Skull King

It all began in September, last year, when we invited our “Rainbow Project” collaborators and good friends, Naparbier, to come brew our first DIPA – “Bone King”. Super drinkable, high ABV beers are Naparbier’s bread and butter, but was something of learning experience for us, being the first time we used Dextrose in a brew (which increases sugar content and therefore ease of fermentation, along with decreasing fusel alcohol making for that cleaner, more IPA-er flavour you know and love!) Well that learning experience turned out to be an absolute treat, resulting in incredible feedback and not only our and Naparbier’s first (of many, hopefully) 100 rating on ratebeer.com, but also a feature in the top 50 beers of the 2014. Excellent news all round, except it was so limited, hen’s teeth were regularly mentioned…
 
We couldn’t simply let it lie, but simply repeating the collab recipe felt a little half hearted, so we have sampled, tweaked, sampled, then tweaked some more in order to bring you the best final product possible! This marks yet another milestone, as it will be the UK’s first canned DIPA too! As mentioned, the dextrose makes for a much cleaner taste profile, meaning you will hopefully be able to taste the vast complexities alongside how much care and attention has been put into this big, juicy, hoppy, aromatic, in your face double IPA.
