Hold'hop

Double IPA | 8% ABV | 85 IBU | Brewed in 2017

When the science of hops meets the art of taste robbery

The portrait

Pints in the air, this is a hold'hop! This time, we're not trying to ambush you - it's going to be direct action against your taste buds. Consider this our hoppy manifesto : a carefully orchestrated Machiavellian plan to distract you from everything else.

Our team of "robbers" has concocted a complex malt, a true cereal architecture structured by pale malt, Vienna malt, oat malt, and wheat flakes. Dextrin plays the perfect accomplice, ensuring smoothness and creaminess throughout—because a good robbery requires careful planning down to the smallest details.

Then comes the moment of truth: we give pride of place to hops. Deep bitterness, resin, fruitiness, floral... and then more hops! This particular reflection on the best aroma synergies works like an algorithm of olfactory seduction, programmed to make you capitulate from the first sip.

The story

Hold'hop is our playful reinterpretation of the old-school heist—except here, it's your senses we're robbing! The concept? Abandon subtlety for a bold, head-on approach. No mask, no detour: just a Double IPA that sets the tone right from its name.

This creation perfectly reflects our philosophy of "less talk, more action." When we want to make a Double IPA that leaves a lasting impression, we don't do things by halves. We load the hops like bitter desperadoes, we structure the malt like architects of indulgence.

Food and beer pairings

This muscular Double IPA pairs perfectly with dishes with character. : gourmet burgers with blue cheese, spicy curry, blue cheeses that don't shy away from anything. Its hoppy power admirably cleanses the palate against fats, while its malty complexity stands up to the most rebellious spices. For the more adventurous: try pairing it with a chocolate chip cookie - the sweet/bitter contrast works like a perfect equation.

The final word

Hold'hop has bowed out, but what a memorable heist it orchestrated! This Double IPA will go down in our annals as proof that you can be head-on hoppy while retaining a complex soul. Its legacy? Reminding us that sometimes you have to dare direct action to make an impression. Thrill seekers still remember this full-blown taste robbery—and frankly, we couldn't have dreamed of a more beautiful epilogue for our little bitter desperado.

Cheers! 🍻
