About this beer

From the label“Every year, the elves head out to pick hops for the workshop brews—carefully snipping cones, filling baskets, keeping count like good little professionals. And every year, there's one elf who treats hop picking like a circus act. He juggles the cones. He shows off. He "accidentally" tosses a few extra handfuls into the kettle when no one's looking. Then he stands back with that grin that says, what? It needed more hops. The result is Bad Elf IPA: a bright, hop-happy session IPA that keeps things crisp, zesty, and bursting with juicy aroma. It's the kind of pint that goes down easy—until you realize the keg's somehow empty again. Best served cold like the North Pole”
