Defender
Brooklyn
IPA – 6.7% ABV
THE DEFENDER is constantly vigilant, standing guard over all those who dare to drink great beer. This bright, juicy, West Coast-style IPA takes on a reddish twist from a dash of roasted malt. Bold, fruity hop bitterness and an intensely resinous nose lead the way into a dry finish that blazes the trail for your next sip. Who is this masked hero? The Defender emerged in an era when gloomy walls and bland beer held our city in a stranglehold. Slowly, murals began to brighten the landscape and flavorful beer flooded the taps. Today the city is alive with fiery art and delicious beer. The Defender maintains constant vigilance to battle back the blandness lurking around the edges. Ours is a world of light, fury, and song. This is it’s Defender! Brooklyn Defender IPA was forged in collaboration with our sidekicks at New York Comic Con as the official beer of the convention. Malts: Pilsner, Crisp, Carared, Crystal Hops: Pilgrim, Willamette, Cascade, Mosaic, Amarillo
