More from a press release:

 

"This Imperial IPA has really been amazing to brew, especially tinkering with new, Salmon-Safe hops," said Matt Speckenbach, Head Brewer at Hopworks. "Working with our friends at Roy Farms to select hops from their experimental selection was fascinating and led to a beer that we’re all extremely proud of, both from a flavor and aroma perspective, as well as from a sustainability perspective working with another B Corp."
