Hopworks releases Joker Imperial Hazy IIPA

 Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB), has brought back the Joker Imperial Hazy IPA for it’s second limited-edition run in 16oz cans. Joker is the latest in a series of Double IIPA’s recently revealed in their 2021 beer release calendar. The Joker features a big full bodied mouthfeel and low bitterness.

 

“Each year, the Joker, much like a real court jester, will be a wildcard when it comes to its hops and malt bill, so enjoy this year's batch and look forward to a fresh, new Joker in 2022,” said Matt Speckenbach, Head Brewer at Hopworks. “You might also notice a big 13 on the skull of this year’s label, which signifies our 13th anniversary! Stay tuned for more on that as we plan to celebrate our anniversary at our brewpubs on Earth Day this year.” 

 

Joker Imperial Hazy IPA is available through April at both the Powell Mothership, 2944 SE Powell Blvd., and HUB Vancouver, 17707 SE Mill Plain Blvd., Vancouver, Washington.
