Funky Buddha will be launching the newest addition, Hop Stimulator, to their core lineup tomorrow, April 19th!

This Double IPA is big and bold, coming in at 9.5% ABV and featuring citra, amarillo, centennial, and cascade hops. Hop Stimulator is an evolution of Funky Buddha’s Small Axe Big IPA.

Hop Stimulator will be available in four-pack, 12oz bottles and on draft, and will be distributed throughout Florida as a year-round beer starting on April 19th. You can be one of the first to try this new brew at Funky Buddha’s Hop Stimulator release party on April 19th at Funky Buddha Brewery, or at any one of the launch events.
