Permanent Funeral
A tropical nose leads Permanent Funeral, an imperial IPA brewed with the band Pig Destroyer and loaded with tons of hops and hop extracts. It debuted in 2013 and won silver in the Imperial India Pale Ale category at that year's Great American Beer Festival. 10.5% ABV, 100 IBU, available September through October, brewed in Munster, Indiana.
