Boomerang 4 DIPA collab with Superflux

We’ve always loved working with Superflux because they (were) just so damn good looking. Now that the industry has worn them down, we’re starting to realize we actually like them for their personality too.

We first met Superflux before they were even Machine Ales operating out of Callister. Adam Henderson of “The Flux” (as he has tattooed on his lower back) also owns a distribution company called Copper & Theory who first introduced Steel & Oak to the Alberta market. Ampersands were super in back then.

The 4th version of Boomerang Double IPA is just as expensive as the first 3 which is why we don’t do it that often. So, we’ve cleared out our savings account (we actually don’t have one) and purchased a boatload of Vic Secret, Eclipse, Riwaka and Citra (because everyone loves Citra) and put it into this big, bold, hazy Double IPA. It’s full-bodied, juicy, smooth and dangerous. Aromas of pineapple, mango, citrus and a touch of pine.

As we turn 10, we have decided to only brew our favourites of the past 10 years or collaborate with friends who have helped us along the way. Thanks for your friendship over the years Superflux. We love you!
