New beer attempts to topple PBR from hipster brew throne

Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø, brewmaster at Evil Twin Brewing, is about to launch a new line called Hipster Ale. Previously responsible for one-shot batch Williamsburg Hipster and a couple others in the same vein, Hipster Ale is a “global ale” designed to appeal to the too-school-for-cool crowd the world over.

I don’t see this appealing at all to the target audience. Who designed those cans, they look terrible. And there’s nothing hipsters back away from faster than something that’s pre-sold as for the cool kids. But just in case you are interested, Evil Twin Brewing is distributed by Twelve Percent – here is their lineup of outlets, including locations in Philadelphia and Chicago.
