A beer named after a mountain bike run called Gnome Wrecker sounds like it's overcompensating. It is not.
7 Devils' annual Gnome Wrecker IPA is named for the legendary Black Diamond run at Whiskey Run, and the citrusy punch is genuinely built to cap off a day on the trails, not just borrow the trail's reputation for marketing purposes. It's also the Official Beer of the Whiskey Run Mountain Bike Trails, with 5% of gross sales going straight to the Wild River Coast Mountain Bike Association for trail maintenance. This year it doubled as the official after-party of the Ride the Dirt Wave race, with live music from T Bird and the Way It Is.
The release party kicked off July 18th with bike-themed fun and live music, but the can is sticking around at both 7 Devils locations. A beer that earns its trail-run name this thoroughly deserves the party.
