John Steinbeck once said, “Montana has the kind of mountains I’d create if I was in the business of making mountains.”

And if you’ve ever been to Montana, you damn well know how true that is — the state is freakin’ gorgeous. 

But, I have a feeling that if Steinbeck could taste today’s 4.22 UT-rated Hyperspace Passion Fruit Milkshake IPA, he’d say something like: 

“Imagine Nation makes the kind of mountainously drinkable, passionfruit-soaked Milkshake IPAs that I’d craft if I was in the business of brewing beer.”

Because frankly, one sip of this quencher — loaded with 5lbs per barrel of Citra, Strata, Ekuanot, Simcoe, and Hallertau Blanc Hops and a touch of fruit puree — and you’ll be blown away by the huge waves of dank passionfruit, sweet melon, and resinous pine flowing from this 6.2% ABV brew.

Heck, you’ll probably even wonder how you’ve never before tasted such a pillowy soft, dreamsicle-like sipper from this corner of the country.

That’s because these Missoula-based brewers were actually the first ones to bring the Milkshake IPA style to Montana! And it’s clear they’re doing something right — scroll through Untappd and you’ll see comment after comment singing Hyperspace’s praises:

“Best IPA in Montana.”

“F***ing. Fantastic.”

“Best beer ever made in Montana. Hands down.”

Today, you get to be one of the first people outside of Big Sky country to experience this “fantastic, hands down, best ever beer from Montana.” 

In fact, I can pretty much guarantee that even your most in-the-know craft lovin’ buds have never tried today’s beer.

So, make sure you grab a couple of extra cans of Hyperspace Passion Fruit Milkshake. Because once they do get a taste of its silky, fluffy, passionfruit-drenched profile, you’re gonna have to tear it from their hands to keep them from drinking it all up.

Rated 4.22 on Untappd from the lucky Missoula locals who snagged a taste!
