Ex Novo Brewing releases Farm to Market Imperial IPA for Zupans Market's
The 11th release in Zupan’s Markets Farm-to-Market series of exclusive packaged beer releases is a new Imperial IPA from Portland’s Ex Novo Brewing Co. This is a big, and bold modern but clear double IPA with hop flavors of tangerine, lemon peel and old school pine hop character. Ex Novo Farm-to-Market Imperial IPA is strong but not too strong at 8% ABV and pairs well with summer grilling and barbecue.

This IPA is currently on shelves at all three Zupan’s Markets locations and available in 4-pack, 16oz cans for $14.99 or single can for $3.99. Available to order online at Zupans.com for in-store or curbside pickup. With only 150 cases produced, this beer will only be available for a limited time.
