Hopped to Extremes

With Torpedo, it’s all about maximizing every hop for the biggest, boldest flavor possible. So we push dry-hopping to its limits with the Hop Torpedo, our custom invention that’s shaped like its projectile namesake.
 

Each Hop Torpedo holds roughly 75 pounds of whole-cone hops, filled by hand — more accurately, jam-packed using industrial tampers. Beer flows out of a fermenter, surges through the Hop Torpedo, and back into the tank for a supercharged IPA.
