Craft brewing is as much a community as it is an industry. Translation: there are a lot of friendly brewers out there, and our buddies Luke and Walt Dickinson from Wicked Weed Brewing in Asheville, NC are two of them. They paid us a visit to brew this collaboration beer for Brewvival 2014, and we’ll be heading north to do the same with them soon.

Holy Weed is giant Double IPA with a twist: green tea leaves from Charleston Tea Plantation were added after the whirlpool. They impart a fresh, earthy character to the utterly insane, citrus-forward hop profile.
