Icarus Brewing's Tongue-Twisting Take on Excessive IPA-ing
In the ever-escalating arms race to create the most unpronounceable beer names, Icarus Brewing has thrown their hat into the ring with Waikikamukau, an Imperial IPA that's as difficult to say as it is to justify why it exists in a market already flooded with IPAs. It's the beer equivalent of a spelling bee challenge, served up with a side of hops.
Waikikamukau – a name that sounds like what happens when a brewer plays Scrabble while brewing and thinks, “Yeah, that’ll work.” It’s for those moments when you think, “I don’t just want a beer, I want a linguistic workout.” This brew isn't just a drink; it's a conversation starter, an icebreaker, and a tongue-twister all in one hoppy package.
The beer itself is a bold, brazen assault on your taste buds, much like its name is on your linguistic abilities. It’s as if Icarus Brewing looked at a regular IPA and thought, “Cute, but let’s make it imperial because we’re fancy like that.” Each sip is a journey into the heart of hop madness, a place where the IBUs are high, and the ABV isn't far behind.
But let's be real, Waikikamukau isn't just about the beer; it’s about the bragging rights. It’s for those who want to say, “I drank a Waikikamukau and lived to tell the tale.” It’s perfect for beer aficionados who like their brews with a side of showing off and a dash of “what did you just call me?”
So here’s to Waikikamukau, the beer that’s as much fun to talk about as it is to drink. Icarus Brewing, in their infinite wisdom, has given us a brew that’s part beer, part tongue twister, and entirely a testament to the craft beer industry's love for the absurd. Cheers, and good luck ordering it at the bar without tripping over your words!
Cheers you, silly Bastards!
