A Deeper Dish

Tap to rate

A Deeper Dish is a bold Triple IPA from Chicago's Hop Butcher For The World, a brewery celebrated for pushing Midwestern hop craft to its limits. This West Coast–leaning behemoth pours a hazy golden-amber with a frothy white head that lingers invitingly. The aroma bursts with layers of ripe stone fruit, candied citrus rind, and a resinous pine backbone that signals serious lupulin intent. On the palate, a lush, full-bodied malt foundation carries waves of tropical mango, blood orange, and dank herbal bitterness in perfect tension. The finish is long, warming, and satisfyingly resinous — a deep-dish-sized serving of everything hop lovers crave, executed with the confident precision that defines Hop Butcher's reputation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a lush, malty foundation that supports waves of tropical mango and blood orange, balanced by a bracing herbal and resinous bitterness. The full body carries the hop intensity throughout the mid-palate without becoming harsh, maintaining complexity through to the swallow.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
