Southern Bay Brewing Co Launches Hop Bazooka IPA

Hot on the heels of Metalhead Robust Porter, the darkest and booziest beer to spill out of Geelong’s Southern Bay Brewing Co, is the companies second-ever seasonal release: Hop Bazooka IPA.

Hop Bazooka is an American style India pale ale, meaning it is bursting with resinous hop flavour and aroma that often strikes the senses with layers of tropical fruit and passionfruit. Perfect for cutting thirst on a warming spring afternoon, this brew is best consumed fresh. No worries there as it is being bottled today!

Southern Bay’s head brewer, Steve “Hendo” Henderson will be presenting Hop Bazooka to the world via a launch party at The Alehouse Project in Brunswick East next Thursday, October 18th. Here punters will have a chance to taste the range of beers from Southern Bay for free from 6pm to 7pm. The brewing team will also be available for a chat and have decided to bring in the last existing keg of this winters one-off limited release, a bourbon vanilla infused version of Metalhead Robust Porter.
