McClellan’s Brewing Co. | Wulver IPA

January 18, 2021 | Elijah Rivera 1

The IPA is easily one of the most lauded, debated, romanticized and scrutinized beer styles the world has ever known.

The volume of newcomers to the brewing scene increases while the available real estate decreases, meaning it can be hard to set your new entry into the game apart from the rest. Rookies and veterans alike are trying to poke their heads out of a large crowd, which leads to the question: what separates a brewery from all the rest? That is a question McClellan’s Brewing Company has begun to answer.
