FORT WAYNE — Mad Anthony Brewing Company and Brewer’s Art Supply invite everyone to join them Wednesday, Dec. 9, as they raise a pint to area homebrewers Dan Voors and Sam Snyder on the release of their Mad Brewers Challenge winning beer, Hopocalypse Double IPA.

This robust Double IPA, brewed with 72 pounds of honey from Rekeweg Honey Company, Decatur, took home the top prize via public vote at this year’s annual OktoBEERfest celebration. This entitled Dan and Sam to the grand prize, the opportunity to brew this beer commercially at Mad Anthony’s facility under the guidance of brew master Jeremy Zuber.

Hopocalypse Double IPA goes on draft at all Mad Anthony brewpubs at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 9.

The next OktoBEERfest is scheduled for Sept. 10, 2016, at Headwaters Park West, Fort Wayne.
