Eight Point IPA
Eight Point IPA is the beer that launched Basecamp — a clean, drinkable 6.2% that proves you don't need big ABV to make an impression. Citrus and pine hit first, bright and snappy, while a dry backbone keeps it balanced and sessionable. The varied hop bill gives it character without aggression — this is an IPA that invites a second beer.
