Empyrean Imperial Pale Ale Tapping Party @ Derailleur Tap Room


This Friday we will help in celebrating Empyrean's big year. 20 years in business is a huge landmark, and they have never looked back. This Friday we will have a special tapping party for round two in their huge limited one-off lineup slated for 2011. Not to be confused with an India Pale Ale, this IPA stands for Imperial Pale Ale.

From the brewery: "An IPA of another sort - this is a pale golden ale with a lot of hop character. Brewed to show more balance between the sweet, bready malt character and the crisp, bitter hops than a traditional India Pale Ale."

2-Row, Maris Otter, Nugget (aroma), Amarillo (flavor), Cluster & Sterling (dry hop), 80 IBU, 7% ABV

Congrats guys, Nebraska is lucky to have you all!
