SPECIAL RELEASE | COLLABORATION SERIES WITH LAKE ERIE ALE TRAIL BREWERIES

Style: DOUBLE IPA

This Special Release Double IPA was brewed in collaboration with fellow Lake Erie Ale Trail breweries for the Trail’s Beer Coaster Event at Waldameer Park in Erie, PA. Crafted as a true celebration of our regional brewing community, this beer brings together the collective creativity of John Russell Brewing Co., Nostrovia Brewing, The Brewerie at Union Station, and Twisted Elk Brewing.

The recipe showcases a bold hop-forward profile, brewed with Cascade and Type 582 hops, then intensively dry-hopped with Cascade and Michigan Copper. The result is a vibrant Double IPA layered with bright citrus, subtle pine, and a balanced resinous finish, all supported by a smooth, drinkable body that highlights the hops without overpowering the palate.

Brewer’s Highlights:

  • Collaborative brew with local Lake Erie Ale Trail breweries

  • Created exclusively for the Lake Erie Ale Trail Beer Coaster Event

  • Double IPA featuring Cascade, Type 582 & Michigan Copper hops
