BrewDog Unleashes a Revolutionary Punk IPA for MAN WITH A MISSION's 15th Anniversary
BrewDog, the UK’s top craft beer brand, is once again shaking things up with the renowned musical group MAN WITH A MISSION (MWAM). This dynamite collaboration has evolved beyond mere design changes—it's a profound statement in the realm of craft beer, blending music and culture more than ever before.
In October 2023, BrewDog and MWAM reignited their iconic partnership, led by a commitment to redefine beer as a cultural asset. This collaboration aims to bridge the gap between craft beer and music, truly immersing beer enthusiasts worldwide into an experience that combines thrilling sound sets with exceptional brews.
The new release, Punk IPA, is not only a nod to MWAM's 15-year journey but also BrewDog’s flagship offering that started it all. This year’s edition comes adorned with a dazzling anniversary design, readying itself to capture both the soul of craft beer lovers and hardcore fans alike.
BrewDog's Punk IPA has always showcased a golden hue, crafted using New World hops that unleash explosive flavors. The beer is known for its vibrant aromas of tropical fruits such as grapefruit, pineapple, and lychee, along with hints of caramel, finishing with a sharp bitterness. As a beer that marked BrewDog's inception, Punk IPA remains timeless and ever-evolving.

On November 27, 2023, an anticipated launch event took place at Bagus Shibuya, gathering Punks and fans to celebrate this partnership.
