CALYPSO CAT

Mythically hopped with Calypso, this DIPA features rippling piney aromas and enchanting notes of candied lemon peel. Brewing with all grain and no added sugar gives this 9.1% ABV beer a quick hit of bitterness that rises and falls like the ocean’s tide.

“I would try other DIPAs and get smacked in the face with overwhelming alcohol flavor from brewers adding sugar to boost ABV,” said Switchback Brewer, Morgan Capron, who spearheads the development of the ever-growing lineup. “Through the brewing skill and expertise that Switchback has become known for, we are able to achieve the high alcohol content strictly from malt. We call it, ‘Perfection Through Fermentation!”

HOP CAT

Inspired by an artist’s palette, this 4.9% Session IPA fills the canvas with bright and effervescent flavor that will make you (Art) Hop. A creative composition of Mosaic, Ella and Warrior hops adds splashes of citrus and grapefruit with a perfectly placed stroke of bitterness that completes this masterpiece.

Hop Cat Celebrates both 30 years of the South End Arts Business Association & 20 years of Switchback Brewing Co. 25% of Hop Cat Sales benefits the artists, entrepreneurs, and businesses in Burlington’s South End Arts District.

Calypso Cat and Hop Cat join Octane Cat, Galaxy Cat, Cashmere Cat, Hop Cat and El Dorado Cat in the rotating lineup of 16oz 4-packs with more cats to come. Find it in limited quantities at select stores across Vermont as well as at the brewery now and while supplies last.

About Switchback Brewing Company

Switchback Brewing Company was founded in 2002 by master brewer Bill Cherry and his longtime friend Jeff Neiblum. To maximize complexity and flavor, the beer is left unfiltered and carbonated during fermentation by the yeast itself, creating a 100% naturally conditioned beer. In 2017, Switchback Brewing Co. officially became the first 100% employee-owned brewery in Vermont via an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), keeping the brewery locally owned and operated at its original home in Burlington, VT. Switchback beers are distributed throughout Vermont, New England plus parts of New York and Virginia.
