We’re stoked to announce a collaboration that’s been a long time coming—Hop Nation meets Rocky Ridge Brewing Co., legends of the West Coast craft beer scene. The result? A limited-edition West Coast IPA that’s bold, modern, and deeply rooted in collaboration.

Our head brewer, Tim, recently made the trip west to spend time with the Rocky Ridge crew, where a few days of brewing, tasting, and idea-sharing led to something truly special.

To mark this collab, we left more than just strong partnership and good vibes. A Hop Nation-branded tree now grows on the Rocky Ridge property—a small symbol of what we hope is the start of many more awesome collabs to come.

This isn’t just another India Pale Ale. It’s a modern take on the West Coast IPA style, brewed with intent, precision, and a whole lot of hops. A real showcase of what happens when two craft breweries come together with a shared love for beer.

From the moment you crack the can, you know you’re in for something big. The aroma hits you first—intense, hoppy, and fresh—and the flavour follows through with that classic West Coast India Pale Ale bitterness, balanced by a smooth, modern finish. This is a beer for the hop heads, the craft beer lovers, and anyone chasing that perfect IPA moment.
