The hop wolf on the label is pretty dope! |
The DirtWolf will make you howl!
Hey y’all!
I am always down to spread news about
the new beers that have been hitting our shelves, and the Victory DirtWolf Double IPA is pretty damn good!
This Downingtown, Pennsylvania-based brewery is one
of my favorites because they not only make killer brews starting with my go-to selections—Hop Devil, Storm King, and Golden
Monkey—but they continue to successfully diversify their portfolio with
sippin’ goodness in a wide range of styles and aging methods. Well now they are
doing the four-pack thing, which usually means the beers are either in limited
quantity, high gravity, seasonal or a mix of all the above! Victory’s first
quartet, the DirtWolf, is 8.7% in the potency category, and thanks to the
abundance of Citra, Chinook, Simcoe and Mosaic hops, its flavors and aromas make
this one a must to pick up.
Here is the official scoop below.
Cheers!

Why DirtWolf Double IPA

experiment with whole flower, American-grown hops. With two-row German malts
