Double Mountain Unleashes Nostalgia with the Reintroduction of Molten Lava Imperial IPA

From Double Mountain:

We are excited to announce the return of a fan favorite, Molten Lava Imperial IPA, as part of our From the Vault Series. Taking beer enthusiasts on a trip down memory lane, this beloved brew is back by popular demand, capturing the essence of the original while introducing exciting updates.

Remember this one?  Man.  We sure do.  Back in the day, it was served in 20oz Imperial pints, and it drank a little too easily.  It got a healthy dose of whole leaf hops in the dry hop, and was dry and balanced.   Swihart developed the recipe to be the bigger, meaner cousin of Hop Lava. Such a fun beer to make, and to drink.

“We’ve gotten requests to bring back Molten for years. We resisted. Some things are better left to memory. The mystique grew, and now the time is nigh! We used the knowledge we’ve gained since and some of the modern hop formats to bring it up to date, while still holding true to the original theme. Molten has returned!” declares Greg Balch, Head Brewer at Double Mountain Brewery and Cidery.

The aromas in the beer are captivating, fitting the contemporary taste – or as the younger generation might say, “bussin’”. The malt bill has been crafted to be clean and easy, ensuring a well-balanced and enjoyable drinking experience for a beer of this strength. Recognizing that not all beers are meant to be consumed in abundance, the team emphasizes moderation, as this brew may pleasantly catch you off guard. Don’t miss the opportunity to savor the revival of Molten Lava Imperial IPA!

From the Vault

Molten Lava

Imperial IPA

8.6% ABV 88 BU

Remember this one?  We reimagined this IIPA from the early 2010’s with some Cryo (™) and CGX (™) hops that weren’t in production when we made this beer last.  Same great aromas and flavors, just more of ’em.  Lots more.  We spiffed up the malt bill too, making the sticky forest, tangelo, and kind green pop.  Balanced, bright, and badass.

The brewers have crafted a curated Spotify playlist to elevate the Molten Lava consumption experience, blending tunes that harmonize with the bold and dynamic flavors of the beer. From classics to contemporary punk, this playlist provides the perfect sonic backdrop for sipping and savoring the revived Molten Lava Imperial IPA.
