Lone Tree Brewing Co. Announces Seasonal Return of Hop Zombie

Lone Tree Brewing Co. in Lone Tree, Colorado has announced the seasonal release of the brewery's Imperial Red IPA, Hop Zombie.

Hop Zombie clocks in at 9 percent ABV and 90 IBUs and won a GABF silver medal in 2017. The full release from Lone Tree is below.

LONE TREE, Colo. — It’s alive! Lone Tree Brewing Co. is excited to warn you about the annual outbreak of their award-winning Imperial Red IPA, Hop Zombie. Seek shelter at Lone Tree Brewing Company, September 29 and arm yourselves with bombers of this 2017 GABF Silver Medal-winning brew.

Now in its fifth year, this highly anticipated annual release will be available in a limited amount of bombers and on draft, September 29. Following Hop Zombie’s 2017 win at the Great American Beer Festival, the 2018 bombers will sport a brand new label in succession with the brewery’s 2017 re-brand. The new label art, designed by Anthem Branding, features a zombie-infested mountain scene with a reimagined “hop zombie” and a coffin-shaped barcode. It is the last of Lone Tree’s products to take on the refreshed look and feel.

Bottles of Hop Zombie will be available exclusively at the brewery on Saturday, September 29 beginning at 11am. In past years, Hop Zombie Day has seen a line of customers in advance. The 22-ounce bombers cannot be reserved in advance, and typically sell out in one day.

Guests at Hop Zombie Day 2018 can purchase specialty Hop Zombie glassware and t-shirts designed like the beer’s label. The Baja Berto’s Beachside Burritos truck will be slingin’ burritos and Ted Loughry will play in the tasting room beginning at 2pm.
