Description
Black Mass is by far our most highly award decorated beer – and you could look like a winner too in this snazzy wearable edition of the UK’s first ever Black IPA…
Black Mass has previously been described as a bit of an enigma… a hop forward dark beer, too hoppy to be labelled a straightforward stout and without a category to define it when it was first brewed over 25 years ago. The term “Black IPA” simply wasn’t around when the beer was first made, on 6th November 1996, and as a descriptor it didn’t really become part of the beery lexicon until circa 2008 – with its oxymoronic nature causing both consternation and fascination in the beer world ever since! More on this – and why we believe Black Mass could be the UK’s first Black IPA here.
