Juice Wars ft 3 Ravens & Hop Nation (VIC)

Three New England style hazy IPAs made our Best New Victorian Beers of 2017 list, with two of them coming from 3 Ravens and Hop Nation – Juicy and Jedi Juice respectively.

Now the breweries behind them have come together in more ways than one for a celebration of all things juicy, hazy and IPA.

On January 27, the day of the Hottest 100 Countdowns (beer and music), they're hosting events at their breweries at which they'll be pouring all manner of IPAs, including two that are a combination of 3 Ravens' Juicy IPA and Hop Nation's Jedi Juice.

The brewers created a mash-up of the recipes for each beer then brewed one batch at each brewery, using the yeast they use with their original IPAs to see how the different strains affect the final beers. 

The beer brewed at 3 Ravens is called Juicy Jedi and weighs in at 6.5 percent ABV; the beer from Hop Nation is called Jedi Juicy and tips the scales at 6.1 percent ABV.

Both will be pouring at the two breweries on the day, with the events at each looking like this:
