Release the Chimps
Release the Chimps is an IPA built for regular drinking rather than occasion. Its pale malt foundation delivers a light body that stays crisp on the palate, while the hop character carries real punch—both bitter and flavourful in the same breath. The bitterness cuts clean without heaviness, and the hop register comes through distinct enough to justify the style without demanding ceremony. At 4.4%, it sits comfortably in the everyday range, the kind of beer you reach for on an ordinary evening when you want flavour without fatigue.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
