The story of Behemoth Heres Chu IPA 440C

Here's Churly began as a competition entry. Behemoth brewed it for the 2020 West Coast IPA Challenge at The Malthouse, the Wellington craft beer bar, and the beer came away as the winner. Its name plays on a famous horror film line, swapping in Churly, the cartoon monster on Behemoth's labels.

The recipe starts with English Golden Promise malt, then piles on Simcoe, Mosaic and the newly named Nectaron, a hop formerly known as Hort 4337. Kettle and whirlpool additions are followed by a heavy 20 grams per litre dry hop. The result is 6.8% ABV and 55 IBU, with pineapple, stone fruit and pine flavours.

Pineapple and pine suit anything off a wood-fired oven or charcoal grill. Lamb kofta with garlic yoghurt, a chorizo pizza, or sticky pork ribs will all take on the bitterness.

It comes as a single 440ml can.
