(Salt Lake City, UT) – Uinta Brewing has received label approval for a new offering.
The brewery tweeted this past Thursday that it was brewing something new. Perhaps this was it.
Meet Uinta Dubhe, a 9.2% ABV Imperial Black IPA to be released in 12 oz. bottles (4-pks?). With 2010 being the year of the Black IPA, a handful of breweries including Alaskan Brewing and Odell Brewing have taken that a step further and introduced imperial versions of the styles.
Label copy: “Named Utah’s Centennial star in 1996, Dubhe illuminates the front of the big dipper from 124 light years away. Dubhe, a red giant also known as Alpha Ursae Majoris, appears orange in color and has a mass 4x that of the sun.”
