Common descriptors are
A Belgian, a hophead, an alcoholic, and a sous chef walk into a bar . . . Sound like a joke? Well our beer is the punch line. Belgians are noted for their creative beers with complex flavor profiles that balance flavors from yeast, hops, malt, alcohol, and other flavors. Nebula taps this creative energy and puts a lot of twists on the traditional IPA.

An American IPA has a lot of hops and showcases them often to the degree that most else is buried in the hops flavors. Not Nebula. With over 70 IBUs, one would expect a bitter hoppy beer, but Nebula balances the hops with the complexity of the darker malts, alcohol and esters, and a Belgian yeast that loves this cocktail.

Leave your expectations behind as you enjoy this blend of six sweet malts, four flavorful hops, and complexities that the Belgian monks would appreciate.
