Strong, hoppy IPAs are no stranger to bright and citrusy wheat beer, at least in concept—White IPAs are a budding but established style, and an inspiration for this blend. Equal parts of each help both beers shine, uniting the pleasantly bitter bass notes of the Ruination IPA with the reviving citrus-scented sweetness of witbier. But the real upside to blending the mixture yourself? It's a chance to mingle your favorite IPA with your wheat beer of choice—a cross-brewery blend you're not likely to find in a bottle. The results are simple, crisp, and oh-so-drinkable.
