La Cumbre Elevated IPA
New Mexico's defining IPA. 100 IBU of hop bitterness from Herkules, CTZ, Centennial, Chinook, Simcoe, Mosaic and Citra — with a complexity that transcends the bitterness. Dry, resinous and tropical. One of the highest-rated beers in the Southwest and La Cumbre's flagship for 15 years.
