Comments:

Heretic – Evil 3 – West Coast Triple IPA

Founded by our very own co-author, Jamil Zainasheff, in 2010, the team at Heretic has worked tirelessly to keep the industry growing and thriving, with a passion for quality craft beverages. A Heretic is a person with a belief different from the rest of the crowd. In a world where the majority of beer believe mass market light lagers are the universe of beer, craft beer lovers are all Heretics. While their name has no religious meaning, Heretic believes great craft beverages are a religion.

Evil 3 is the story of three friends: Tasty McDole, Mitch Steele, and Jamil Zainasheff. Three bold men with hops in their blood and crazy in their hearts. Once a year around the holidays these three passionate brewers used to come together to concoct a beer that represents their lifelong bond. A beer that is bold. A beer that is hoppy. A beer to share with your best friends. This beer uses citrusy Amarillo, stone fruity Citra, and pungent Simcoe hops balanced with just the right malt character to delight your palate. Heretic used to release this beer only once a year, the day before the Superbowl. People that showed up on release day got to fill their growlers directly from the fermenter. You cant get beer any fresher than that!
