Hopped to Extremes

With Torpedo, it’s all about maximizing every hop for the biggest, boldest flavor possible. So we push dry-hopping to its limits with the Hop Torpedo, our custom invention that’s shaped like its projectile namesake.
 

Each Hop Torpedo holds roughly 75 pounds of whole-cone hops, filled by hand — more accurately, jam-packed using industrial tampers. Beer flows out of a fermenter, surges through the Hop Torpedo, and back into the tank for a supercharged IPA.

Fiery Torpedo Steak Tacos

Just like the IPA, this steak packs a major flavor punch. With a beer-based marinade, infused with fiery habanero and jalapeño peppers, it grills fast for fantastic tacos.
