8.4% alcohol. 75 IBU. Brewed in Wisconsin by Rhinelander Brewing for Trader Joe's.

"Twin Screw Steamer. Brewed exclusively for Trader Joe’s by an award-winning craft brewer in Wisconsin, this is a robust ale that’s intensely hoppy – its recipe includes a boat-load of hops! – and includes just the right amount of malt to balance the hops’ bitter profile. At 8.4% alcohol, this is not a brew for the faint of heart. What it is, however, is an I.P.A. for the serious craft beer drinker, the brew aficionado who’s always looking for something new and interesting to drink. You know who you are. This one’s for you. Sip it with spiced dishes like barbecue or Thai curries like Vegetable Panang Curry, or try it with sharp cheeses like aged Cheddar or Grand Blue."
