Quick Facts: ABV: Approx. 7.5–8.0% (typical Hop Butcher DIPA range; exact ABV unconfirmed)  |  Origin: Bedford Park, Illinois  |  Style: Hazy Double IPA  |  Brewery: Hop Butcher for The World × Young Blood Beer Company
Production & Heritage
Hop Butcher for The World operates out of a 13,000-square-foot production facility in Bedford Park, Illinois, just southwest of Chicago. Founded by Jeremiah Zimmer, the brewery has released more than 250 beers, with roughly 85 percent of its production dedicated to double IPAs. That Tingle in Your Spine emerged from a collaboration between Justin of Hop Butcher and Kyle of Young Blood Beer Company, combining both breweries’ expertise in heavily dry-hopped, haze-forward beers. Hop Butcher is known for distributing fresh beer — often only hours or days after canning — making rapid turnover and hop freshness a defining production philosophy across every release.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Dense tropical fruit rises immediately — think ripe passionfruit and candied nectarine layered over bright citrus peel. The heavy-handed dry-hopping regimen Hop Butcher is documented for delivers an extremely aromatic, fragrant nose with real depth and complexity.
Taste: The entry is soft and juice-forward, with tropical and citrus flavors that recall fresh-squeezed orange juice. Mid-palate, the beer builds with stone fruit sweetness and a gentle resinous hop character. Despite the elevated alcohol typical of the style, there is no harsh hop burn — the result of careful fermentation control and high-quality hop sourcing.
Finish: Smooth and clean with a fluffy, pillowy mouthfeel that lingers without becoming cloying. Residual tropical fruit and a faint citrus brightness carry through to the close.
How to Drink That Tingle in Your Spine
Pour cold into a tulip glass or stemmed IPA glass to amplify the aromatic intensity; the supremely opaque, orange juice-like appearance is part of the experience. This beer drinks best fresh and unadorned — skip the garnishes and let the hop bill speak. Hazy double IPAs in this mold are rarely used in cocktails, but for a beer-forward twist, it works well in a Radler with fresh grapefruit juice to extend the citrus character, a Michelada where the tropical notes counter the savory spice, or a Shandy with lemonade for a sessionable summer serve.
