Brooklyn launches Defender IPA overseas

Brooklyn Brewery’s Defender IPA (abv 5.5%) will be available in UK for the first time from the end of March.

The golden IPA will be rolled out in draught and 330ml can format and Brooklyn Brewery’s beers are now available in 27 US states and more than 30 countries worldwide.

Garret Oliver, Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster said: "We’re excited to introduce Defender IPA to UK shores for the first time. Especially with the growing interest in IPAs showing no signs of slowing.

“An enduring favourite in the US, Defender IPA is created with the belief that beer should be interesting, delicious, accessible, unpretentious, and downright fun. It has plenty of hop intrigue for aficionados and smoothness for newcomers. A real all-rounder.”

Brooklyn distributor Carlsberg UK, brews and sells Carlsberg, Carlsberg Export, Poretti, Grimbergen, Celia and Tuborg, as well as holding the UK brand licence for San Miguel, Mahou and the Brooklyn Brewery craft beer portfolio.
