Hopverdomme is the third of our Belgian collaborative series. The name comes from a flemmish curse that, as a brewer, you use quite a bit... Godverdomme!!! As we worked in Belgium, we found ourselves using this phrase more and more. So when it came time to name our new IPA, it seemed fitting that we should use the play on words, which translates literally to Hop Damnit. Again we coupled our American inspired hop schedule with a Urbain's grist bill and mash schedule. The final product is a highly drinkable IPA loaded with fruity hop flavors and a pleasant bitterness.

The face on the label comes from one of Beejay's own oil paintings. The element of oil paintings is a theme which finds it's way into all three of these collaborative brews, sometimes overt, and sometimes more discrete. The painting in Xenophon's Wine is from Guido Reni's "Drinking Bacchus", of course with some key elements changed. In Pipedream, the clouds come from a fitting source, the work of Belgian Surrealist, Rene Magritte. You can look forward to this marriage of fine art and fine beer in our upcoming label art. We hope you enjoy.
