About this beer

Black Hog Brewing Co.’s Triple Nelson IPA is a potent 9% ABV Triple India Pale Ale built around a generous use of Nelson Sauvin hops. The beer aims to capture the unique flavors arising from the brewery’s close relationship with local farmers, who contribute spent grains for pig feed – a practice begun by the founders, Tom and Jason, and continuing yearly. The label artwork is vibrant and playful, featuring a stylized black hog’s head adorned with colorful floral elements and geometric patterns, evoking a somewhat psychedelic aesthetic.

The flavor profile prominently showcases the Nelson Sauvin hops, delivering notes of white grape, passion fruit, and a distinct herbal, almost sauvignon blanc-like aroma. The brewery states that only Nelson Sauvin hops are used and the result is a notably aromatic and flavorful IPA with a smooth bitterness balanced by a notable malt sweetness, despite its high ABV. It is packaged in a 16oz pint can.
