Two Roads Brewing Company, which has made a name for itself with its hoppy offerings ever since it launched at the tail-end of 2012, has gone ahead and launched its famous double IPA in a truly imposing format that manifests in the form of a 19.2-ounce can.

The 'Road 2 Ruin Double IPA' is an unabashedly hoppy offering that makes use of as many as seven hop varieties sourced from the Pacific Northwest and including such household names as [Citra](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychedelicallystyled-hazy-ipa), Centennial, [Cascade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-whole-grain-pancake-mix) and [Amarillo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aji-amarillo-seasoning). The offering of this beer in a massive 19.2-ounce can means that this eight percent ABV beast can now be enjoyed in a truly imperial fashion by lovers of boldly hoppy beverages.

In the words of Brian Duprey, senior director of national accounts at Two Roads, the ultra-tell format of the 'Road 2 Ruin Double IPA' is a 'perfect mix of pack size, style and branding all coming together' to create a package that is 'too tempting to resist.'
