Hail has been reinvented for the 2020 season and is now a Michigan IPA! Golden and delicious, it is dripping with hoppy goodness that includes notes of citrus, pine, apricot, and peach.  This well-balanced, hop forward beer is brewed with maize (yellow flaked corn) and blue (corn grits) to celebrate all things Michigan.

Hail Michigan IPA has 70 IBU’s | 7.2% ABV and is available in 12 oz cans, 6 packs, and draft in 1/6 and 1/2 barrels.

“Everyone at North Peak could not be more excited about these beers. And, to hear the news today, that I will be able to drink Hail and watch Michigan Football!  It seriously brought a tear of joy to my eye,” said Greg Lobdell, co-owner of North Peak Brewing Company and a former University of Michigan football player.

“Watching Spartan Football with while drinking Sparta IPA is now a reality this fall,” added Tony Grant, co-owner of North Peak and a former Michigan State football player. “Going to have my outdoor tailgate party with my former teammates and enjoy this beer more than ever.”
