Historic Brewing Company and Summit 4x4—
We didn’t just brew a Black IPA for the flavor—though it does taste damn good. We brewed it for the kind of night that starts with dirt on your boots and ends under the glow of KC lights, swapping stories around the fire. Dark, bold, and clocking in at 7% ABV with 68 IBUs, this beer hits like a late-night trail run through the pines: intense, layered, and a little wild. Roasted malt brings those rich coffee and chocolate notes, while a piney hop finish keeps things fresh. It’s the kind of beer that pairs perfectly with campfire crackles, cool night air, and a sky full of stars.
