When I first saw Cypress Brewing’s Imperial Runway Models — adorned in a juice-inspired collection of bright pineapple, tropical passionfruit, and edgy dankness — I couldn’t look away.

All I could think about was how good this fruity outfit of hop flavor would look at the beach!

To get Imperial Runway Models ready for the craft beer catwalk, the brewers dry-hopped it with over 5 lbs of Vic Secret and Galaxy Hops per barrel. At nearly twice the hops of an average IPA, and with an 8.5% ABV, it’s safe to say this brew is a showstopper.

New Jersey locals like @michaelporecco rave that it’s “By far one of the best — if not the best — beers that I have ever had. I have been waiting a long time for this to come back around!”

Lucky for Michael and all of you, Cypress DID bring it back around! And, since this fruity fashionista doesn’t usually leave the Garden State, I didn’t waste a second grabbing some for Tavour. 

There’s no need to hunt for this season’s hottest fashions to feel like you’re on top. Bringing a few cans of Imperial Runway Models with you to the beach is sure to turn just as many heads!
