Description:
Hurricane Kitty is a coppery and heavily hopped India Pale Ale. Named after brewmaster Keegan's grandmother whose driving earned her quite a reputation with local police racing her six children to and from a local Long Island beach ferry during the 1960's, Hurricane Kitty is the undisputed family favorite. We try to make the hop bill read as aggressively as her driver's record

Varietal Definition
India Pale Ale (IPA):
India Pale Ales are deep gold to amber in color, and are usually characterized by floral hop aromas and a distinctive hop bitterness on the finish. India Pale Ales were originally brewed by British brewers in the 19th Century, when British troops and colonizers depended upon supplies of beer shipped from England. Standard ales did not survive the journey, hence brewers developed high gravity, highly hopped ales that survived shipment in casks to their largest market, India. This style, probably not anywhere near as bitter as it was when destined for India, continues to be brewed in a toned down manner in the UK and is undergoing a mini-revival at present.
