Pyramid Releases Discord Dark IPA
Pyramid Breweries announces the third offering in the Ignition Series – a line up of unconventional brews that set out to ignite conversation and satisfy the discerning palates of those looking for more beer in their beer – Discord Dark IPA.
A growing style in the Northwest, Dark IPA’s feature all the tasty attributes of a standard IPA, yet juxtaposed against a black malt canvas. Discord is not short on character, with a prominent malt profile that meets up with the bitterness and hop presence from five different hops. A variety of roasted malts provide color and flavor, yet this beer has a lighter body reminiscent of an IPA, not heavy like a porter or stout.
“Discord is a phenomenal interpretation of an emerging style, “said Mike Brown, Commissioner of Inspiration and Aspiration. “The Ignition Series has been great for our brewers to showcase their creativity as we explore a range of styles and new beers that are brewed to turn it on. Barbed Wire and Outburst were very well received and we’re extremely excited about the release of Discord. It’s a great beer.”
Discord Dark IPA powers in as the third offering in a successful series of draft-only Ignition beers. Leading the charge with Barbed Wire Imperial Hefeweizen and Outburst Imperial IPA, the Ignition Series continues to impress and surprise the palates of consumers looking for new and challenging tiers of exploration beyond Pyramid’s year-round and seasonal offerings.
Discord will be available from August – October, or until the kegs are gone, whichever comes first. An additional Ignition Series beer, Super Snow Cap, has been added to the line-up and is scheduled to carry the Series from November throughout the rest of the year.
