A Note on This Beer
If your mind immediately jumped to an image of Cheech & Chong — bleary-eyed and lighting up in a smoke-filled car — when you saw this beer, your head’s in the right place. The iconic duo inspired today’s juicebomb. Particularly Chong!
2Toms Brewing strives to make beers that treat you to a “flavor experience,” and between us, this experience is even more enjoyable than partaking in Chong’s favorite pastime.
One can of Chong IPA, and we don’t want to do anything except kick back, relax and think about life, man! That, and how exactly 2Toms made a NEIPA that is akin to passing by the neighborhood dive bar when the local Willie Nelson tribute band is playing.
A combination of Cashmere, Eureka, and Strata Hops gives this pour an enveloping dankness — like stepping foot inside a venue and being greeted by a plume of haze from the doobies that light up as the band takes the stage. The earthy flavor is offset by a hint of lime zest and ripe melon. The bitterness of grapefruit rind at the end keeps things nice and groovy.
Imbibe in this beer if you want a different kind of high. We swear you won’t regret it, man.
*Chong IPA is part of 2Toms’ most popular series, The Other Toms. Some of the famous Toms include Petty, Sawyer, and Edison which locals love to debate which Tom is their favorite!
**The Beer Travel Guide hails 2Toms as one of the best breweries in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
