Hopworks Releases Ace of Clubs Imperial IPA + Stoner Fruit Apricot Sour
Hopworks Urban Brewery releases two new limited run beers this month with Ace of Clubs Imperial IPA and Stoner Fruit Apricot Sour. Both beers are available in 16oz cans.
“Imagine you’re stranded on a tropical island, sipping on a big Northwest IIPA when a mango and a coconut fall upon your head! Then, you’re flooded in a sea of apricots! That’s our new Ace of Clubs IIPA and Stoner Fruit Apricot Sour calling,” said Matt Speckenbach, Head Brewer at Hopworks, in a statement. “I’m super excited for our new Ace Series this year and the new sours we’ve been brewing. Every other month in 2021, we’re releasing Imperial IPAs and sours with malts and hops paired perfectly with each season. I hope everyone enjoys these beers as much as we have!”
Ace of Clubs Imperial IPA is a beer that the brewery states it built for the winter months. This bold Imperial IPA is the fourth installment in Hopworks’ Ace Series. With classic, dank Northwest hops and a grapefruit aroma, this Imperial IPA’s big malt body plays perfectly with notes of coconut and passionfruit. Ace of Clubs has an ABV of 9.1% and IBUs of 100.
Stoner Fruit Apricot Sour is described as a deliciously bright sour with a light, tart malt body. Brewed with apricots and Zappa hops, this sour ale comes in at 5.6% ABV and 4 IBUs.
