A Note on This Beer
1st Place Flavor Features: This thick Milkshake IPA washes the palate with real, juicy passionfruit and creamy vanilla bean, harmonized with lush citrus and dank papaya from the hops. Rocky Balboa Level Hop Combo: A 1-2 punch of Idaho 7 and Azacca Hops create an ultra-tropical, fruity experience.
Today’s silky-smooth Rise of the Underdog Milkshake IPA has so many fun flavors hidden in its juicy pour; I’d like to think Rocky Balboa himself generated the muscle power behind it.
He’d hit it hard with layer upon layer of drippy fruit, lush lactose, and succulent vanilla until it transformed into the velvety-soft, creamy, tropical concoction I’m sippin’ right now.
But, my guy Rocky didn’t actually make today’s hop creamsicle. This 8% ABV heavy-weight champ of a brew comes from the dexterous brewers at Four Fathers!
These Indiana Brewers Cup Award-winners have been blowing up the Midwest craft scene for years now with big n’ bold brews. And, their fans travel from all over the state to get fresh tastes at the Valparaiso taproom!
So, unless you’re anywhere near Indiana, you’ve got two options here:
- Hop in your car and play “Eye of the Tiger” on repeat until you get there.
- Grab your TV remote, start any Rocky movie (my favorite is the original), and snag a stash from the comfort of your couch!
