Fire Maker Brewing and Monday Night Brewing are thrilled to announce the release of their new collaboration beer, Hop the Magic Dragon Double IPA, debuting at the inaugural Georgia Craft Brewers Festival at Atlantic Station on April 2, 2022.
“There will be more than 60 member breweries in attendance and 30+ collaboration brews to sample,” says Rachel Kiley, Monday Night Brewing’s Chief Operating Officer, and President of the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild. “Designing a beer with the fine folks at Fire Maker has been an incredibly creative and fun process—it’s an active celebration of what makes beer in our state so great.”
The goal of the collaboration is to celebrate hops in all forms, so the breweries worked together to gather three types of advanced hop products: Citra Cryo, Cashmere, Mosaic Incognito, Citra Incognito, and Mosaic Spectrum hops, plus Phantasm—a powder yielded from crushed Sauvignon Blanc grape skins—to showcase the unique properties of each in this new-school, Westside Double IPA. Each hop product comes together to create a big, juicy, Double IPA that bursts with flavors of mango, peach, lemon, lime, and subtle hints of coconut, spruce tips, and lemongrass. You’ll be glad you decided to tie one on with Hop the Magic Dragon, Double IPA, which clocks in at 8.2% ABV.
The can art was designed by artist Jordan Atkinson, and is just as vibrant as the beer itself. Inspired by Atlanta and the two breweries’ staple mascots, the label celebrates the magic of the collaboration. Fire Maker’s dragon comes to life, as Monday Night’s man hops on the otherworldly creature for an unforgettable adventure around Atlanta’s Westside.
“We’re so excited to brew with one of our favorite neighbors, and equally thrilled to release it at the Georgia Craft Brewers Festival,” says Elliott Hall, CEO/Co-Owner of Fire Maker Brewing Company, and Vice President of the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild, “which helps support the Georgia Craft Brewers Guild. It’s truly a dream come true!”
Hop the Magic Dragon Double IPA is releasing exclusively at the Georgia Craft Brewers Festival at Atlantic Station on April 2, 2022. After the festival, it will be available in Fire Maker’s taproom and in limited quantities in the Atlanta market. You can also try it a day early on April 1, with purchase of a VIP ticket to the festival.
