The palate is plush and silky, supported by a soft malt body that rounds out the fruit. Its bitterness is deliberately low for an IPA, letting the bright, juicy character take the lead without an aggressively sharp finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer’s Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSka Brewing was founded in Durango in 1995 by Dave Thibodeau, Bill Graham, and Matt Vincent, whose shared love of brewing and ska music shaped the brewery’s irreverent identity. In 2025, ownership passed to the Ariano and West families. Thibodeau remained involved in a leadership and strategic role after the sale, while Graham and Vincent stepped away from the business. Steve Breezley, who joined Ska’s leadership with a background in professional brewing and production management, became CEO during the transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe chilled in a pint or tulip glass.
