Virginia Beer Co. and Benchtop Brewing Co. Collaborate on Galactic Detour DIPA

Galactic Detour is the first collaboration between Benchtop Brewing Company in Norfolk, VA and The Virginia Beer Company in Williamsburg, VA.

“It feels like just yesterday that the Benchtop Brewing Company crew was here tossing hops…but luckily it wasn’t yesterday, which means this dope DIPA collab is ready for launch,” exclaimed VBC co-founder Robby Willey. “We’ve been big fans of Benchtop since they opened. A couple of Williamsburg friends from the beer industry joined their team early on and a bunch of our regulars are their regulars too.”

As both breweries regularly feature eclectic India Pale Ale recipes, the decision was an easy one (with repeated requests from shared regulars) to focus a collaboration on the hop-forward side of brewing.
