If you like the regular “Hopadillo,” a beer with a stupid name but maximum flavor, you may appreciate the Imperial IPA, which is a drier version of the regular Hopadillo with intense levels of alcohol that may have you punching out windshields like a Florida Man.

Saint Arnold – Art Car IPA (2025)
Ignoring the vandalistic “art,” the stupid name, and the goofy promises written on the can, the Art Car IPA provides a fruity yet ascetic high-powered India Pale Ale that does not degrade with warmth like most fruity beers. It has its own self-possessed flavor.
