Here at Devils Backbone, we don’t know exactly when the first pitch will be thrown, but we do know this: The @nationals are still the World Series Champs and we brewed a brand-new beer to celebrate them. We retired Earned Run Ale, at the top of its game. Now we’re calling up Curly W IPA our tribute to the home team. And if you’re missing baseball season as much as we are you can find this IPA in the DC area and do some spring training of your own. Pairs best with replays of World Series Game 7; side effects definitely include bragging rights. #SomeGoodNews #GoNats #DBbeer

The Washington Nationals may have been delayed in starting their fight for another championship title, but that doesn’t mean the spirit of baseball season has disappeared. While local news anchors of the region are reminiscing on the Nationals’ greatest moments from 2019, restaurant owners, concession workers and even team manager Dave Martinez have been vocal about hope ahead. 

Plus, Devils Backbone Brewing Company, based in Roseland, Virginia, has recently released the brand-new Curly W India Pale Ale in partnership with the Washington Nationals as a tribute to the 2019 champions, now available at retail locations throughout the DMV region. 

Meant to keep fans refreshed as they await the Nationals players’ return to the diamond, the IPA is a 6% ABV, offering a crisp, hoppy flavor made from a blend of Pilsner, Pale Wheat, CaraHell, Golden Naked Oats, Acidulated Carafa Special 2 and Victory malts. For now, you can enjoy the brew from the comfort of your home. And when Nationals Park once again opens its gates, the Curly W IPA will be available for purchase at concessions.
