Iron Hill Brewery releases Sweet Leaf IPA in cans

Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant is releasing its Sweet Leaf IPA in cans. This 7.2 percent ABV 65 IBU American IPA is brewed with whole-leaf hops, accompanied with undertones of grapefruit, pine and tropical fruit. The pale-yellow IPA is brewed with Columbus, Centennial, Chinook, and Simcoe hops to bring out its overwhelming hop flavor.

The hoppy bitterness of this far-out IPA helps cut through the heat of spicy, citrusy fare, like the Nashville Hot Sliders or the Voodoo Chicken Flatbread, which is made with Iron Hill’s Vienna Red Lager barbecue sauce. To enjoy this food and beer pairing at home, patrons may order dishes online and pick up a four-pack at any of the 16 Iron Hill locations.

Sweet Leaf IPA has been carefully crafted with the counterculture in mind, and with that comes the classic sounds of the ‘60s. Beyond the Sweet Leaf IPA, Iron Hill has created a Spotify playlist that perfectly pairs with the righteous oomph of flavor, transporting consumers and their tastes buds back in time.

“Sweet Leaf IPA is one of our most popular IPAs, and for good reason,” said Mark Edelson, Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant co-founder and director of brewery operations. “We brew with the whole-leaf hops, which gives the IPA a strong, earthy flavor. Additionally, there is a nostalgia that Sweet Leaf IPA brings out, and that makes the release of Sweet Leaf IPA just that much more exciting.”
