DIPK

Hop lovers do not despair - we’ve stretched credulity to its limits to bring you a hoppy treat 400 years before the first IPA took to the seas. To do this we’ve brewed DIPK - double India pale Kölsch, a fantasy beer that asks what would happen if brewers of this traditional German ale made it stronger and dry hopped it in barrel to make it travel better? Could it be the kind of brew to slake the thirst of travellers when they finally arrived in the markets of Europe?
