Moffat Beach Iggy Hop

Iggy Hop is a cult favourite at Moffat Beach. Regular customers who used to drink only lagers and balked at any hint of hop bitterness now order schooners of resinous Iggy Hop Double IPA, and complain every time it goes off tap.

All American hops Chinook, Simcoe and Mosaic come together in a belting power chord. Grapefruit toffee resonates in the air, and the beer itself tastes like savoury resin and head banging. Between the big flavour, the booze, and the bitterness, this is a beer that just doesn’t leave. You’ll find it’s still partying in the hotel room at 4am, smashing TVs and dancing on tables before falling asleep in the bathtub with a towel for a pillow. It’s a real wild one.
