Half Acre Beer Co., Chicago, announces its newest core beer: Bodem IPA, a New American IPA smack in the middle of West and East Coast styles, with a flavor profile that marks a new note for the brewery.
Since its founding in 2007, Half Acre has been synonymous with bone-dry West Coast IPAs. Bodem IPA is different, balanced with a soft, welcoming mouthfeel that plays to the sticky citrus and tropical fruit qualities of the hops.
In developing Bodem IPA, Half Acre found an opportunity to diversify its approach to hoppy beers and offer beer drinkers a reliable year-round IPA. Bodem IPA is accessible for classic craft drinkers and intriguing for those intimately familiar with Half Acre’s portfolio of pioneering brews.
Bodem—Dutch for “soil”—is a reference to earthiness, to the creation of new landscapes and the transforming potential of hop varietals. Bodem IPA (6.8%) is available on draft and in 16-ounce four-packs.
Bodem IPA joins Half Acre’s three other core beers, also available year-round: the flagship Daisy Cutter Pale Ale, Pony Pilsner and Tuna Session IPA.
