Ballantine IPA Wins Rave Reviews!

Before it even hit the shelves, the newly re-launched Ballantine IPA was poised to take press, pubs and the public by storm, thanks in part to smart influencer outreach. Like a Broadway revival, the brew has won accolades from critics, press, and the beer elite. Our team has garnered 45+ positive stories, including USA Today and CNN, many with rave reviews for the legendary brew. With a big assist from Master Brewer Greg Deuhs, who famously reverse-engineered the beer, coverage has been “heady” to say the least.

Here’s a sampling:

“The beer has a nice malt/hop balance, and leans more toward the hoppy side of the fence and not at all the malty-British-IPA balance I anticipated,” says Bil Corcoran who runs My Beer Buzz.

“…this stuff was delicious. The beer is hoppy, but it doesn’t just bludgeon your tongue with hops like a lot of West Coast IPAs. It’s extremely well-balanced. There isn’t too much bitterness and there isn’t that cloying sweetness you sometimes get from too much malt. It has a really lovely finish with no funky aftertaste. In fact, it’s excellent all the way through. It’s a very smooth ride, but it has a ton of character. Brent Rose, Gizmodo

“The 2014 reincarnation of Ballantine IPA, brewed on contract at the Cold Spring (MN) brewery. does not disappoint.” Beer Advocate
