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. Monk Hammer is the first of our super-charge hyped up hybrids. A dark cloaked holy man packing an unholy punch. Belgian yeast and American hops untie on a cardinal scale. Steel yourself for biblical volumes of grapefruit, bow your head for a wave of spicy, fruity yeast character, then cross yourself for the bitterest of bitter finishes. Let your senses succumb to this 21st century incarnation. Monk Hammer – worship daily.
