Classically dank, piney and citrusy, Covered In Nuggs scratches every nook and cranny of that IPA itch. We laid down a delicious, sturdy base of North American barley malt and piled on Citra, Simcoe, Amarillo and Centennial hops to build a sticky heap of lupulin goodness. Covered In Nuggs makes us want to celebrate IPA Day every day!
Covered In Nuggs is our winter Season-Ale for 2025 (previously known as our Art Series) featuring yet-to-be-revealed artwork by our 2025 Season-Ales artist ... the talented Drew Millward. Check back later this year to see what he dreamt up for this beloved brew.

Did you know...
Covered in Nuggs actually started as a brewpub exclusive at Brewings & Eats in Rehoboth. It was a hit year after year, so in 2024 we brought it nationally for all to enjoy!
