Black Iris Brewery Matrimony

Matrimony is the latest in our band collab series, and comes courtesy of local post black metal titans Underdark. It was great to have so many of the band down for the brew day. And we’ve brewed up something really fun: Matrimony 4.8% Blackened West Coast IPA .

This beer takes all the classic bitterness, citrus and pine character of a West Coast IPA but softness it with the addition of dark malt extract. With Columbus, Amarillo, Chinook and Simcoe leaf in the copper, Simcoe Cryo at pitch and conditioned on Cascade and Columbus T90’s there are some pretty hefty hop additions providing citrus and pine flavours and that all important bitterness for this style.
