TWO IPAs. BOLD OR EASY — YOUR CALL.

Written By Caroline Sisson

When it comes to beer, there are a few things we stand by:

Flavor comes first. Always. After 30 years in the craft beer industry, we’ve learned that no matter what you’re drinking, it better taste good. That’s why every batch we brew is built with one goal in mind: great flavor above everything else.

Beer should fit the moment—not define it. Some moments call for something bold and heavy-hitting. Others call for something lighter and more approachable. And if you’re in a lower ABV mood? That’s not a compromise—it’s a choice. Because lower ABV beer should never mean lower quality.

No judgment. Just good beer. Whatever you reach for, it’s your call. Drink what fits you. Drink what fits the moment. Drink what tastes good. No commentary or explanation required.

TL;DR: Flavor first. Moment second. Judgment never.

Two IPAs, One Flavor-First Philosophy

For over 20 years, Loose Cannon has been our flagship—an award-winning American IPA known for its bold, hop-forward character. 

But we heard you: at 7.25% ABV, it’s not always the move for those easy-drinking occasions.

So we brewed the answer.

Say hello to Little Loose — a 4% ABV, easy-drinking IPA built with the same hop DNA and flavor-first philosophy, just with a lighter touch.

Whether you prefer a bold American IPA or a lighter session IPA, both deliver the same flavor-first experience.

Little Loose: Easy-Drinking IPA

If you’re searching for a light IPA with full flavor, meet Little Loose Easy-Drinking IPA.

Brewed at 4% ABV, this session IPA is the crushable counterpart to Loose Cannon—perfect for weekday hangs, low-key plans, and those “just one more” kind of nights.

Don’t let the lower ABV fool you. Little Loose still delivers:

  • Bright citrus hop notes

  • Balanced bitterness

  • A smooth, refreshing finish

It’s an easy-drinking IPA that doesn’t sacrifice flavor.

Loose Cannon: The Bold Flagship

On the other end of the spectrum is the beer that started it all—Loose Cannon IPA, our flagship American IPA.

This is a bold, hop-forward IPA with a solid malt backbone and a crisp, assertive finish. Built for moments that call for slightly more intensity—nights out, celebrations, or when you want a beer with presence.

Recognized as one of the best IPAs in the country, Loose Cannon delivers consistency, balance, and full-flavor impact in every pour.

Same IPA DNA. Two Different Experiences.

Loose Cannon IPA and Little Loose IPA are brewed from the same hop-forward foundation.

That means both deliver:

  • Citrus-forward hop character

  • Balanced bitterness

  • Clean, crisp finishes

The difference isn’t quality—it’s ABV.

Whether you’re in the mood for something strong or something sessionable, both are crafted to deliver exactly what you expect from a great IPA.
