Ska Brewing turns hop surplus into a new IPA (debuting at GABF today)

October 3, 2017Chris Crowell

We noted that there is potentially a big hop surplus problem on the way, but for Ska Brewing, when life hands you too many hops, make a fruity, juicy, hop-bursting double IPA. This is exactly what Ska Brewing did with a surplus of Galaxy hops that the brewery ordered. The plethora of product was destiny for the brand’s latest year-round offering, Bad Hop Contract Double IPA, which will debut at the Great American Beer Festival.

For those looking to check it out at GABF, but away from the madness of the actual event, here is Ska’s special tasting dance card around town:
