Unsung Brewing named today’s Carina Hazy Double IPA after a cloud of gas and dust in outer space called the Carina Nebula. And the two are similar in many ways. In fact, I think the beer might be a little better. Let’s take a look. 

Example 1: Freakin’ HUGE!

Carina IPA comes with a whopping 8.5% ABV. That’s plenty to keep you and your buddies relaxed and happy during a long night of stargazing. Whether those stars are in the sky or on TV is up to you. 

The Carina Nebula is also impressively big at roughly 230 light-years across. But bear in mind that in all that space, there is not one single beer. Not one. You would be awfully parched out there.  

Example 2: Loaded with Awesomeness! 

The GABF award-winning brewers at Unsung packed Carina IPA with massive amounts of Citra, Simcoe, and Amarillo Hops. It’s basically like a whole galaxy of juicy orange, tropical mango, dank papaya, and ripe passionfruit expanding across the palate. 

Compare that to the actual Carina Nebula, which contains over 14,000 stars but no hops whatsoever. And besides, you can’t drink a star! It would taste like hydrogen and fire. Gross. 

Example 3: Hard to Get!  

Carina IPA is damn near impossible to find outside of California. In fact, the only place to grab a sip of this otherworldly brew without flying to Anaheim is right here. Bring a couple of cans to a bottleshare, and every hazehead in the room will want to know where you got it. 

The Carina Nebula is also inaccessible because it’s approximately 8,250 light years away. If you tried to drive there at 60 mph it would take just under 300 million years, not including bathroom breaks. And we don’t offer delivery to any of it. 

There you have it! I have crunched the data, and it turns out that Carina Double IPA is objectively better than the actual Carina Nebula. But while the Nebula will be there for millennia to come, this limited edition brew will vanish in mere days. Get it while you can. 

This beer is too new for ratings!
