The New England style India Pale Ale craze hasn’t gone unnoticed here at SBC headquarters. Whether we’re personally into naturally bright beer or slightly sludgy Ale’s, you’ll never know. What you should know is that the Short’s brew crew never backs away from a challenge.
Following the release of our first bottled NEIPA, Slurm, we asked ourselves: just how Slurmy can we get? The answer wasn’t simple, but man is it sure juicy. Today we release to you the haziest, juiciest, slurmiest beer to ever leave our tanks: Slurm Lord!
Slurm Lord (7.7% ABV) is a double New England style India Pale Ale brewed with oats and a blend of Citra, Azacca, Amarillo, Galaxy, and Mosaic hops. We’re excited to say that the brewing of Slurm Lord employs the largest dry hop to date in SBC history! Deep orange in color with a permanent haze and a minimal head, a glass of Slurm Lord resembles a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Aromas of dank passion fruit, mango, and pineapple are accompanied by bold flavors of citrus. This medium-bodied India Pale Ale is incredibly juicy from start to finish. A final sip leads into a slight, warming bitterness.
Just like Slurm, we’re only releasing bottles of this thick and juicy brew at home in the mitten state. Available on store shelves beginning today, we guarantee this specialty (limited) release brew, lord of the DNEIPAs, is worth a detour. Remember, enjoy Slurm Lord responsibly. It’s more than highly addictive!
