THE STRING THING IPA

Few things pair as perfectly as beer and live music. That’s why we teamed up with Chicago’s Hop Butcher For The World to create something that feels right at home on stage or in the crowd: String Thing IPA.

THE STRING THING IPA BEER

Few things pair as perfectly as beer and live music. That’s why we teamed up with Chicago’s Hop Butcher For The World to create something that feels right at home
on stage or in the crowd: String Thing IPA.

Brewed with Citra and Simcoe hops, this 6.5% juicy, aromatic, hazy IPA is bright with tropical and citrus notes—crafted to be as refreshing as the music that inspired it.

"This video above takes you inside brew day, where the idea of a beer for live music came to life. String Thing is more than a collaboration—it’s a toast to friendship, craft, and Chicago’s creative spirit".
–Jeremiah Zimmer (Hop Butcher)
