Today’s beer is named after one of the most spectacular events in the known universe. And that means, it’s once again time to play ‘Which is Better?’ On this episode: Supernova IPA vs. an actual supernova!

Category 1 - Hop-a-liciousness 

Supernova IPA is incredibly hop-a-licious! The brewers amped it up with a massive 4 lbs per barrel of Mosaic, Mosaic Cryo, and Ekuanot Hops! 

An actual supernova is an explosion caused by carbon fusion at the center of a dying star, and contains no hops whatsoever. If you tried to add hops, they would just vaporize.

That’s one point for the beer!

Category 2 - Crushability

Supernova IPA is CRAZY crushable! One taste of its tropical mandarin, juicy berry, and ripe mango flavors, and you’ll want to drink it all day. And, even though it has more hops than most imperial IPAs, it clocks in at a relaxed 6% ABV, so you can sip to your heart’s content. 

An actual supernova is the opposite of crushable, because it is expanding at over 3,000 mph. Any attempt to sip one will end very badly. Don’t try it.

Two points for the beer!

Category 3 - Get-able-ness

Unless you’re heading to Missoula, Montana, Supernova IPA is tough to get! Imagine Nation is the brewery that introduced the Hazy IPA style to Montana, and their legions of fans scoop up every juicy release. Heck, we only have 30 cases of this stuff!

Compare that to real supernovas — the last one that could be seen from earth with the naked eye was the Kepler Supernova, way back in 1604. That means, today’s beer is WAY easier to find! You don’t even need a telescope!

Three points for the beer!

And the Winner is:

Beer! Which means Supernova IPA is undeniably better than an actual supernova. Pick up a few cans, and find out just how bright this brew shines!

This beer is too new for ratings!
