Ending the year on a big note! This is the biggest IPA we’ve ever brewed. Double mashed with plenty of oats and wheat to ensure maximum mouthfeel and then heavily whirlpool hopped with Citra Incognito and Cryo plus Idaho 7 T90 to give a rich juicy base layer. For the dry hop, more of the same plus the distinct white grape flavours of Nelson Sauvin, this beast of an IPA is dripping in sweet orange and ripe pineapple, finishing with a lime zest zing.
12.5% ABV // 10 EBC // 22 IBU // 1.110 OG // 440ML
INGREDIENTS: Water, Malted BARLEY (GLUTEN), Malted WHEAT (GLUTEN), OATS (GLUTEN), Hops, Yeast, Dextrose

In 2014 we opened the doors to the Old Flax Store, a Grade II listed building that we found and renovated into the home of Northern Monk.
We grew significantly in the years to follow, but the Old Flax Store remains the heart of the operation. If you’ve ever visited us here, you’ll know that you can look through the ground floor window to see our original tanks still in operation. This is where we brew our smaller, more limited releases.
2020 marks the year that we launch a brand-new beer series, a series dedicated to the exploratory, small-batch nature of brewing at OFS. We’ve released beers exclusive to the Old Flax Store before, but we’ve given this series a whole new identity.
