Northern Monk x Bereta Brewing PP 47.01 Barbarian Highway Fruited Black IPA (440ml)

It’s been a while since the brew team have been allowed to get to grips with a BIPA! It’s a favoured style of many of the Monks, but it’s been a while since we’ve found the right time to brew another one. But that time is now.

We’ve taken a pastry stout approach to this Black IPA, with blueberry, coconut and vanilla.

Hopped with Mosaic, for tropical and dark berry fruit flavours, and a touch of Sabro for creamy coconut, pineapple and lime. We also added copious amounts of blueberry puree to enhance the dark fruit feel, with coconut and vanilla bringing the creamy cocktail vibes to this BIPA, which is a hefty 7.5%

This is the first Patrons Project release with artist and illustrator Steven Yoyada and is made in collaboration with the band Barbarian Hermit and Romania’s Bereta Brewing. Steven Yoyada is a freelance illustrator living in Indonesia. He has been working since 2018, focused on Stoner and Doom bands.

The artwork is inspired by lyrics from Barbarian Hermit’s new album’s title track, which you can listen to by scanning the Spotify code on the can.
