Modern Times Announces New Releases

It's special release sale time again, and this month's lineup is a dauntingly delicious liquid buffet of boss-level proportions. Spectacles of hop-laden haze, dark decadence, rosé radness, and collaborative wizardry are all available for your purchasing pleasure, and are virtually guaranteed to make your entrée into spring a time of joyous celebration.
Quantities--as per usual--are limited, so make sure you're ready when the sale starts on Saturday at 10AM if you want your pick of the litter. Full beer details, as well as the sale link, are below:


HEDGE WITCH DIPA
The third iteration of this beloved DIPA benefits heavily from our experience brewing its predecessors--which is really saying something, considering the first two rounds were pretty frickin’ bomb. We loaded this beer with a mountain of Citra & Amarillo hops, yielding a profile chock-full of pineapple, peach, orange zest, and tropical fruit. It’s a rare instance of the third installment in a trilogy actually being the best.
ABV: 9%
Format: 4-Pack of 16oz Cans
Price: $21.50
Total Quantity: 3,000
4-Pack Limit: 18

DREAM POP
Ready your taste-buds for an arrestingly delicious flavor experience that’s as unique as it is awesome. We began this utterly delightful IPA with a grain bill of 2-row, malted oats, flaked oats, white wheat malt, and a touch of flaked rye. Then, we added massive amounts of Citra, Amarillo, and Mosaic hops followed by a generous helping of vanilla. Finally, just to be ridiculous, we added huge quantities (understatement) of blood orange & pineapple to create a creamy, indulgent spectacle of citrus and tropical fruit that’s going to go full-on HAM on your taste buds.
ABV: 7.8%
Format: 4-Pack of 16oz Cans
Price: $21.50
Total Quantity: 1,500
4-Pack Limit: 18

MIST DRAGON (COLLAB W/ HUMBLE SEA BREWING CO.)
This collab with the lovely folks at
Humble Sea is a glorious union of two disparate realms. We started with a hazy IPA malt-bill and fermented with lager yeast before lightly dry-hopping with Nelson. The result is a 5.6% foggy lager sporting aromas of white grape, lychee, and spicy wild grass, with a pillowy soft mouthfeel and lager-like finish. It’s a majestic new beast, and a testament to the combined powers of weird minds. Brace yourself.
ABV: 5.6%
Format: 4-Pack of 16oz Cans
Price: $13
Total Quantity: 1,500
4-Pack Limit: 18

TEMPLE OF RUIN IPA (COLLAB W/ BURIAL BEER CO.)
The progeny of a mental & emotional partnership with
Burial Brewing, this hazy IPA is dankness given physical form, with outrageous quantities of Mosaic & Simcoe yielding a juice-vortex replete with flavors and aromas of tropical fruit and citrus, with just a touch of pine to put the bow on top. For real. It’s delicious. You should totally buy some.
ABV: 7%
Format: 4-Pack of 16oz Cans
Price: $19.50
Total Quantity: 2,600
4-Pack Limit: 18

PHARAOH ASCENDANT
Built on a complex and meticulously constructed malt bill, this unapologetically decadent imperial stout was lavished with straight-up irresponsible amounts of maple syrup, coffee, and vanilla. The result is a resounding detonation of dessert flavors that cradle the palate like a hammock made of compliments.
ABV: 11%
Format: 22oz Bottle
Price: $16.25
Total Quantity: 1824
Bottle Limit: 1

WIZARD & GRAF CHAPTER 2: ROSÉ EDITION (COLLAB W/ SHACKSBURY CIDER)
The latest installment in our collaboration series with
Shacksbury Cider in Vermont, this hybrid-wunderkind began with a malt bill of pilsner, Vienna, Caravienne, wheat malt, unmalted wheat, and honey malt, which was then introduced to Vermont & Basque apples, cab franc grape skins, and some Cascade & aged Hersbrucker hops. Fermented with house cultures and aged in red wine & North American port barrels, it’s a gloriously complex and infinitely refreshing beverage replete with flavors & aromas of boysenberry, black currant, and raspberry tea, all culminating in a delightfully dry finish.
ABV: 7.2%
Format: 375ml Bottle
Price: $12
Total Quantity: 972
Bottle Limit: 1
