With a whoosh of hops, a bold new Defender emerges! Sixth in our series, this year’s Defender IPA is a heroically hopped golden IPA featuring strong notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and melon, well-muscled hop bitterness and an incredibly dry finish. Our new hero springs from the Jack Kirby era of comics, with a striking profile, the astonishing ability to leap tall buildings with an armload of kegs, and a trusty utility belt full of beer. Together, they stand ready to Defend Beer alongside you, dear citizen.
Where to start, you ask? Why, at your local bars and stores, of course. Defender IPA is already on the way to taps, shelves and refrigerators across the world to bring about truth, justice, and excellent beer. Plus, we’re celebrating our sixth year of making Defender IPA the official beer of New York Comic Con by making it available at every concession.
Can’t make it to New York Comic Con, but still love to party? We know you do. You can find plenty of festivities near you on our Events page, but the big one is happening right here in our Tasting Room. RSVP here and join us for the official launch party on Thursday, September 14 for:
