Ken & John’s IPA
Pro-Am Competition entry brewed by John Arends
A big IPA for the true hop head. This brew, created by Ken Larson and John Arends over 15 years ago, was inspired by the thirst for big fresh hops and a nice malty foundation. A beer that after the pint was gone, you wanted another. At the time that this recipe was created there was no such thing as double IPAs. The thought of using a hop such as Columbus in the finish, was far from tradition. Ken, John, and Bear Republic are proud to present to you this big beautiful double IPA, cheers!
