As nearly the first beer of Spring, at Hellbent Brewing Company, the brewers are happy to announce the newest beer - Expansion Pack IPA. Think of this beer as a rewarding companion as you stroll along a tropical beach, lay in a wind-fed, grassy meadow, of a rewarding high-five after a hike through the rain forests of Washington. 

Brewed with a mix of hops, Expansion Pack IPA has notes of passionfruit, mango, coconut and peach hop aromas interwoven notes of grass and pine needles. Besides these unique hops, a soft bedding of malted barley, white wheat, rolled oats, and flaked corn. 

Expansion Pack IPA should please anyone who prides themselves an imbiber of American-style Pale Ales, Hazy India Pale Ales, or craves a tropical cocktail warm and shady bar on an island far away. Plus, at 7.2% ABV (alcohol by volume) and 40 IBU (international bittering units), Expansion Pack is a sessionable beer if one it looking for a motivating conversation starter. 

Release Wednesday, March 18th, the brewery hopes you’ll exclaim “pau hana’ as you raise a toast to the oncoming warmth of Spring.

About Hellbent Brewing Company

Hellbent started with three of us – Jack Guinn, Chris Giles and Randy Embernate – longtime friends and restaurant industry veterans. For us, starting Hellbent was the natural (and the coolest) thing to do, growing directly out of our experience and our love of beer. For years we home-brewed and toiled over our business plan. Then, we met Brian Young – award winning brewer, co-owner and fast friend – who turned out to be the missing link. Within a couple months, we were on the hunt for the perfect location.

We wanted our brewery in Lake City, where Chris and Jack already called home, to contribute to the growing beer scene here. When we stepped into the old CM Hopkins building for the first time, we knew we had found our venue. Starting right away, we gutted it and began the transformation, building with reclaimed wood, steel, good humor, and a fair amount of muscle.

Finally, after years of fierce determination and hard work (including seven months of construction), we opened our doors in the thick of microbrew country. We didn’t do this alone. We are humbled by the support and kindness of our friends and family that helped us along the way. So, to our beer-loving brothers and sisters of the Pacific Northwest, cheers and welcome to Hellbent!
