Double/imperial IPA

At Grimm Artisanal Ales in Brooklyn, New York, Cloudbusting is always a hazy double IPA made with 100 percent New Zealand hops—however, the hop blend varies from batch to batch. This is a recipe for Cloudbusting #11, but feel free to make your own custom blend.

Courtesy of Russian River’s Vinnie Cilurzo, this recipe aims to replicate the first beer he brewed at Blind Pig in 1994—and what is regarded to be the first commercially brewed double IPA.
