This beer is the company’s first India Pale Ale and showcases the innovative spirit and brewing expertise that have propelled Soul Mega into the spotlight since its founding in 2018. Metropolis IPA is a well-balanced, clean American IPA crafted with Centennial and Mosaic hops, offering a flavor profile of apricot, stone fruit, and a citrusy aroma. At 6% ABV, it bridges the bold characteristics of West Coast IPAs with the malt-forward essence of the Midwest and East Coast traditions. The vibrant label for Metropolis IPA is the work of renowned DC mural artist Juan “Criomatic” Pineda, whose urban-contemporary style reflects the beer’s dynamic identity. Pineda’s work has become synonymous with cultural storytelling in the region, adding depth and artistry to this latest release. Soul Mega co-founders Elliott Johnson and Jahi Reid, who transitioned from homebrewing enthusiasts to commercial brewers in 2019, have built their brand around a commitment to inclusion, creativity, and community impact. Their dedication to making craft beer accessible and engaging, especially for communities often overlooked in the craft beer scene, has garnered a loyal following and significant growth in production over the years. -wibridgedc.com\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirect from owners, Elliott Johnson and Jahi Reid\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cem\u003e\"\u003cspan class=\"paragraph\"\u003eSoul Mega began with a shared curiosity.
