Joining the Double IPA Series six-pack lineup this October, Racer X Double IPA is coming soon to a store near you. Racer X is one of the most desired Bear Republic offerings, with a limited and highly anticipated release each year.
An uncommon double India Pale Ale, Racer X puts a California twist on English brewing traditions by adding an assertive hop aroma and bitterness.
Master Brewer, Peter Kruger, states “Racer X is a very hoppy and malty Double IPA. It pairs perfectly with boldly flavored cheeses, barbecue, and spicy foods.”
