Nashville, Tennessee-based Tennessee Brew Works is heralding the beginning of the spring hiking season at the Appalachian Trail with the release of the 'Clingmans Dome Imperial Hazy IPA.'
This particular hazy IPA's imperial credentials are well and truly proven by the fact that it comes in at a hefty nine percent ABV and an IBU of 40. These bold beer specs are also said to be reminiscent of the scale and impressiveness of the Appalachian Trail and the boreal forest.
“As the trails open on the Appalachian Trail this spring, we honor the thru hikers tackling the trails of the Great Smoky Mountains and beyond.” said Christian Spears, founder and president at Tennessee Brew Works. “Cheers to the thru hikers as they pass through Tennessee!”
Tennessee Brew Works, a Nashville-based craft brewery, is releasing the highly anticipated Clingmans Dome Imperial Hazy IPA this FRIDAY! This limited Tennessee Brew Works celebrates the opening of Appalachian Trail and toasts all the thru hikers as they pass through Tennessee on their journeys.
