Wynkoop Releases Belgorado Belgian IPA 12oz Cans

The first cases of our new and fourth canned beer, Belgorado Belgian-Style India Pale Ale, are now hitting select stores in the Denver area.

Our small-batch, Belgium-meets-Colorado thriller combines the wonders of two of the world’s best beer cultures with Wynkoop artisan brewing and our local farm-to-fermenter thinking.

First released in the fall of 2010 as a seasonal, draft-only, wet-hopped beer, the Belgian-style IPA is now a canned, dry-hopped creation.

It’s hopped with whole leaf hops from Misty Mountain Hop Farm, a pioneering little hop farm in Olathe, CO.

Belgorado is built with a Belgian-style malted barley from Colorado Malting Company, a small, family owned farm and specialty maltster in Alamosa, CO.

The beer gives us a chance to take our buy-local mantra to an especially high level. While we showcase and support two of Colorado’s micro-farmers, and create a new and devoutly Colorado style of beer.

These home-state ingredients are skillfully blended by Wynkoop head brewer Andy Brown and his staff, then fermented with a Belgian yeast.

Lusciously hopped but artfully balanced, Belgorado is a gloriously golden beer rich with pale malt flavors, layers of hops from start to finish, and spice notes. It is 6.7% ABV, has about 45 IBUs and 95 OMGs. And Colorado terroir in every sip.

Belgorado is handcrafted and handcanned at Wynkoop Brewing Company. Look for it in four packs of 12-ounce cans and on draft at the area’s discerning beer establishments.
