In the Pacific Northwest, hopheads often joke about needing two separate beer fridges: one for whatever’s new and another that’s 100% dedicated to Bale Breaker’s flagship Topcutter IPA.

Washington State adores Topcutter’s citrusy-floral hoppiness as much as the rest of craft obsesses over PseudoSue or Zombie Dust -- except the Northwest is lucky enough to get this fridge staple 365 days of the year and stupid fresh.

It’s not just about our overzealous pride in homegrown craft -- just take a look at these accolades:

• Food & Wine and Men’s Journal called Topcutter one of the 25 Best IPAs in America praising its dry West Coast style.
• Draft Magazine rated it 95 for its punchy orange notes and resinous pine flair.
• It clocks in at 4.18 on BA with fans swooning over its grapefruit and lemon zestiness in a biscuity body.

Peek into Bale Breaker’s history and the method behind Topcutter is crystal clear -- they brew right in the middle of sprawling hop fields! Peek into a Seattle hophead’s fridge, and we’ll be shocked if there isn’t at least one can of Topcutter. And if there isn’t, we insist upon fixing that problem.
