MugiWhoa! The name alone sounds intense! Sound Clash feels like a music event!
Hop BroThat’s exactly the theme. It’s a glassful made with respect for the sound system culture that originated in Jamaica. I love how they’re channeling reggae history into beer.
MugiWhat is that? DDH West Coast IPA sounds like a spell! What does DDH mean again?
Hop BroDDH stands for Double Dry Hopping, a method that loads in a ton of hops after fermentation to boost aroma. This one is designed as a crisp, modern beer: a clear, light body with grapefruit, pineapple, and pine-resin-like aromas, then a dry, lightly bitter finish.
MugiOhh! So it’s the kind of beer that smells bold but drinks super crisp. I already know I’m going to love that!
Hop BroThe hop lineup is solid too: Simcoe, Pacific Sunrise, Nelson Sauvin CGX, and Freestyle Nelson Sauvin. It’s 7.0% ABV, so it still has plenty of heft.
MugiCGX!? That’s a spell too! Hop bro is on a full-on nerd rampage again!
Hop BroBasically, think of it as a hop material that efficiently brings out aroma. And they even paired it with Lee "Scratch" Perry & The Upsetters' "Super Ape" and Mikey Dread's "Dread At The Controls"—the whole vibe is fully realized.
MugiThat’s amazing! On March 13, let’s crack open "Sound Clash," put on some reggae, and make a toast! I want to drink it right now!
