The Alchemist 'Focal Banger' American IPA Beer, Vermont, USA

The Alchemist Brewery’s Focal Banger IPA is a masterful example of an American IPA that boldly highlights the distinct character of Citra and Mosaic hops. Brewed in the heart of Stowe, Vermont, this beer is both a tribute to classic IPA bitterness and a celebration of modern hop-forward creativity. With its intricate balance of juicy fruit notes and a firm bitterness, Focal Banger has earned its place as one of the most sought-after IPAs in the craft beer world. Expert’s Notes: Bryant Bowlby, Wine Dispensary Beverage Expert, emphasizes that getting your hands on an Alchemist beer out west is a rare treat. He calls Focal Banger “a brilliant showcase of East Coast IPA craftsmanship,” noting its cult status comes not only from its explosive flavor but also its near-mythical scarcity outside Vermont.
