A Note on This Beer

“Yes! It's been too long, and it keeps getting better with each batch!” @crimson_owari

“So stoked for this... I’m legit gonna take a half day Friday to be at the shop to get mine!” @hamilton429g

“Is it wrong to want this at 9:30 am?” @hrtlndmobilecan

Wrong to want some world-class hopjuice first thing in the morning? Absolutely not, @hrtlndmobilecan!

Especially when that hopjuice is Bearded Iris’ coveted Chief of Chiefs DDH!

Hopheads down South are certainly not bashful when it comes to chasing down IPAs from the award-winning Nashville brewery — they go nuts for pretty much every release! But fans on Untappd and Instagram are showing special dedication to the Chief of Chiefs.

Bearded Iris crafts this Imperial New England-style IPA with a legion of zesty Citra, fruity Mosaic, and dank Simcoe Hops. Every sip pours a hazy trio of fresh-squeezed oranges, pineapple juice, and sliced cantaloupe.

No matter how (or when) you like to kick back with your juicy brews, Chief of Chiefs is one juicebomb that you’ll always want to make time for!

Rated 4.21 on Untappd; 95/100 on BeerAdvocate

Biased here because I love this trio of hops. Lower end ABV for Double IPAs which makes this a way more enjoyable IPA. My first taste took me back to my first taste of TBKs White Rajah. If you know this beer ... you will love Chief!

Daily Corona battle. Smoking for Aggie football edition. BTHO Vandy. Bearded Iris is always so good. This is juicy, classic citra mosaic with some Simcoe thrown in to add some dank goodness. Soft and juicy and citrusy.

Another silky smooth DIPA from BIB. Just a hint of dank to pop. Well done.
