Behind the Beer:
Autumn Embers NE Hazy IPA
An IPA That Kicks Ass, No Questions Asked
When we teamed up with Deathless Records, we weren’t looking to make some half-baked fall beer for the mainstream crowd. Nah, we went all-in with Autumn Embers New Englad Hazy IPA—a beer that punches just as hard as the music from the label’s roster. At 6.4% ABV, this IPA isn’t here to sip pretty with a fall candle in the background; it’s about getting your hands dirty, throwing up a middle finger to the trends, and drinking something that actually tastes like it’s earned its place in your glass. Pour it out, and you’ll get a dark amber brew with a nice, foamy head—just like the kind of beer you crack open after a set at a dive bar or an underground show, ready to fuel whatever comes next.
The first sip slaps you in the face with a raw, citrus-heavy punch—grapefruit, orange peel, and a bit of pine that cuts through the malt sweetness like a chainsaw through paper. This beer doesn’t mess around. The bitterness hits hard, but it doesn’t hang around long enough to make you regret it. Instead, the malt backbone keeps things grounded with a touch of caramel sweetness, adding a little balance to the bite. The finish is dry, crisp, and cuts through the flavor like a well-timed breakdown in a hardcore track—leaving you ready to dive back in for another round. This isn’t some fluff IPA—it’s an honest-to-God beer that brings the heat.
What makes Autumn Embers IPA stand out is its no-nonsense, in-your-face vibe. It pairs just as well with burgers and grilled meats as it does with a night of blasting hardcore tunes or standing in a mosh pit. It’s the beer you reach for when you want to feel something, not just sip something that looks pretty. Simple Machine Brewing and Deathless Records clearly weren’t here to follow trends—they made something that brings the intensity and doesn’t hold back. If you’re sick of the same old fall IPAs and want one that actually has some grit, Autumn Embers is your ride-or-die. This one’s for those who don’t just follow the crowd, but smash through it.
