What it is

The Chasm That Divides You From Your Purpose is a Double IPA from Burial Beer Co. in Asheville, NC. It runs 8% ABV. Its label was approved Sep 23, 2026.

If you searched for Burial Beer Co. The Chasm That Divides You From Your Purpose, that's the short version. It comes in a can.

What the label tells us

The hop bill is four names long: Pesh, NZH-109, Citra and Motueka. The label's own build notes are more specific than that. It says the beer is mashed with wheat and oats, whirlpooled with Citra DynaBoost and Motueka Cryo, then double dry-hopped with Pesh, NZH-109, Citra, and more Motueka Cryo.

The rest of the copy is not a typical hop-forward pitch. The label says "These ramblings are pervasive." and goes on in that vein, crediting the musings to Inner Voice for Burnpile 2026.

I like that the process details are printed plainly under all that. Motueka shows up twice, once in the whirlpool and again in the dry hop.

When you might see it

It has already been spotted. The beer turned up on Burial Beer Co.'s beer list on Oct 1, 2026, 8 days after its label was approved.

That's quicker than usual for this brewery. Across 21 of its past beers, the median gap between label approval and a sighting was 12 days.

What we don't know yet

We don't have a price, and we don't know whether it will be sold beyond the brewery's own list. There's no announced release date. How it tastes is also open, since nobody at Hopgrail has tried it.
