Downpour is named after the sudden thunderous downpour that hit the Elevation Team during a “team building” trip of paddle boarding and beer at Chaffee County’s Cottonwood Lake. The hot day on the lake and its enlivening, bitter, cold downpour inspired us to create a Fresh Hop Extra IPA with a combination of bitterness from Colorado Fresh Hops and the warming of a big malt backbone. This Special Release beer is perfectly balanced for the warmth of summer sun and the cold of fall rain.
