Crisp, clean, classic... Our Mount Benson IPA has been one of our best-selling brews since we opened our doors in 2015. 🙌

A modern take on a classic recipe, our Mount Benson uses a blend of Pacific Northwest "C" hops to deliver a classic punch of grapefruit, pine and citrus, while a hint of caramel malt adds a balanced sweetness to the punchy, juicy hop profile.

Inspired by the rugged beauty of the Island, the Mount Benson IPA can be found across Vancouver Island at private liquor retailers. 🌲
