Double Dry-Hopped Hazy IPA

Cumberland Pilsner (2 Row Barley Malt); Appalachian Wheat (Wheat Malt); Hull and Oats (Oat Malt); Great Chit (2 Row Barley Malt)

Tasting Notes:

After Hurricane Helene ravaged Western North Carolina in September 2024, DSSOLVR launched Higher Calling, a collaborative Hazy IPA project to raise funds for those affected. DSSOLVR provided a base recipe, a list of suppliers providing donated/discounted ingredients (including Riverbend!), and a label template, then invited breweries from across the country to brew the beer and donate 100% proceeds to the NC Craft Brewers Fund.

DSSOLVR chose to brew a Double Dry-Hopped version with 100% Riverbend malts. Hull and Oats provide a soft mouthfeel and Cumblerland Pilsner gives the light malt backbone for the generous amount of mosaic dry-hopping, with otes of tropical citrus, mango, and passion fruit with every sip.

When/Where Available:
