Big Weekend
Big Weekend is the stronger sibling of Weekend Vibes, added to the core range in 2022 as a year-round double IPA. A blend of several hop varieties gives a nose of juicy tropical fruit and floral notes. The palate is fuller than the single IPA, with a rounded malt backbone that carries the extra strength and adds a hint of sweetness before the hops return. Bitterness is balanced rather than aggressive, and the finish combines lingering fruit with gentle warmth from the alcohol.

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

What is a Double IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
