BLACK HAMMER Download BeerXML
THIS BEER IS
Jack Hammer has been single handedly ripping it up for quite some time. Now, the definitive bitter and twisted IPA, has spawned four Hammer Head off-springs. Black Hammer is the second of our hyped up hybrid IPAs. A black hearted beast, that takes no prisoners. American hops and dark malt combine to make mischief. Grapefruit and coffee collide in sensory overload – a wake-up call for other IPA’s. Molten waves of pithy grapefruit build and finally ebb to the roasty bitter onslaught. Stand firm and wield the Black Hammer with care. Stare into the black abyss and succumb to the dark-side.

BREWER'S TIP
You may have to leave this beer on dry hops for slightly longer than usual to let the flavours balance.
