Mission Brewery Releases New ‘Plunder’ IPA

SAN DIEGO — Mission Brewery is proud to announce the release of their new premium IPA “Plunder,” adding to the award winning collection of beers they produce. The beer features 9 different hops, while being extremely well balanced and drinkable with a 7% ABV.

Plunder was first brewed in 2014 as a small batch beer, and returns as a welcome addition to Mission’s core lineup.

John Egan, Head Brewer, created this incredible 9-hop recipe. Highlighting Simcoe and Falconer’s Flight, this San Diego style IPA finishes dry and is full of fresh hop flavor.

Mission Brewery’s Lead Brewer, Bobby Oliver states, “One of the most important characteristics you’ll discover is how balanced this beer is. It has a lot of aroma. There are huge notes of tropical fruit with resinous hints of mango, pineapple and grapefruit, then the malt backbone kicks in and really rounds out the beer.” He says that a lot of modern IPAs are astringent and can ‘punch you in the face’ with bitterness; Plunder is an exception to that.

“Plunder” presents itself as burnt amber in appearance with a bright white head that leaves lacing. Bobby enthusiastically states that, “it’s incredibly attractive in a glass and truly represents what a west coast IPA really is.”
