More information about Schoppe Bräu XPA
A true original with a Berlin style and a hop clap.
XPA is Berlin's answer to IPA: The Kreuzberg Pale Ale boasts a variety of five different hop varieties and is in no way inferior to the American model. The top-fermented beer is considered a dignified classic in the constantly growing range of the Berlin brewery Schoppe and has been part of the ensemble from the very beginning.
XPA is brewed with five types of malt and has a hefty 7.0% alcohol content. The Berliner is also not restrained when it comes to bitter units. However, the taste is particularly powerful: layer after layer of heavenly hop richness is revealed.
The Berliner Pale Ale presents itself in a cloudy amber hue in the glass and wears a crown of fine-pored, white foam on its head. On the nose, XPA reveals a subtle balance of freshly baked bread, caramel malt, tropical fruitiness and resinous hops. A hint of citrus rounds out the olfactory first impression and makes you eager for the first sip. This reveals a medium body with fine acidity, clean bitterness and plenty of fruit. The hops are the undisputed king of this beer, ruling with powerful bitterness and aromas of spicy pine resin, tangy lemon zest, juicy orange, pink grapefruit and unripe tropical fruit. The malt smooths out the hop billows with creamy toffee notes. The finish is crisply bitter and just screams for another bottle.
Not an evergreen for nothing!
For those who still find the 70 IBU too little, the Holy Shit Ale or the Holy Shit Endboss Ale with 100 IBU each is the right choice - don't forget to sit down and buckle up!

Schoppe brew
Fancy names have become part of the standard ABC of the modern craft beer brewer. And hey, it's legitimate to have your illustrious range represented by a unique name. The small Schoppe brewery from Berlin, however, shows that it's possible to be fancy and still get by without big Anglicisms and extravagant neologisms. Real beer instead of mass-produced goods Behind the simple name lies a true avant-gardist: Thorsten Schoppe caused a sensation in the beer world years ago and virtually helped lift the craft beer movement out of its cradle. At some point, the inspired brewer had had enough of large-scale brewing and turned to his craft roots and the original art of brewing. Kettle instead of computer was the motto that ultimately led to Thorsten starting his own thing. Since then, the humorous motto "hops, malt, and muscle grease" has applied, perfectly describing the small-scale...
