Laughing Dog Brewing AlphaDog Imperial IPA (12 oz)
From the "Can"
India Pale Ale
Alpha Dog is at the head of the pack. It's a true hop bomb brewed with plenty of Columbus and Mt. Hood hops for a piney hop character. Premium malts (pale, honey and munich) make this beer a little less malty, but it packs plenty of hop punch.

The Beer Can section is a virtual homage to the American beer-can collecting craze of the 1970s. The rise of thousands of microbreweries have made 'dump scouring' or digging for old beer cans in the woods and abandoned campgrounds a thing of the past. The thousands of young men who could pick up a can in any vacant lot when the hobby was at its zenith in the 1970s have grown up - but fortunately may now find hundreds of colorful cans (full of good brew) within mere miles of their homes.
