Firestone Walker Leo v. Ursus Chronology: Inferos

Inferos
(The Underworld)

Inferos is a rye imperial IPA that is fiery in color, hellacious in hoppiness and bursting with spicy rye goodness. Forged with 25 percent rye grain and loaded with more than four pounds of hops per barrel, Inferos is ultimately a big, lively beer that will keep the soul warm as summer transitions to fall.

The malt bill on Inferos features ESB as a base and Carafa for color, with a devilish dose of rye. “Rye is known for its spicy, rustic grain characteristic, and I think it really adds a distinctive personality to this beer,” says Brewmaster Matt Brynildson.

Hellaciously Hopped

Inferos is massively dry hopped with Galaxy and other Southern Hemisphere hops to ratchet up the intensity scale. ‚ÄúWe’ve long been excited about this idea of brewing a heavily rye-infused beer, and then just hopping the hell out of it,‚Äù Matt says. ‚ÄúWe finally got our chance.‚Äù
