Ballast Point Brewing Co. – Imperial Sculpin DIPA

Bold, Balanced, and Bigger Than Ever

Ballast Point’s Imperial Sculpin DIPA is the amplified version of their world-famous Sculpin IPA. Brewed in San Diego, this Double IPA takes the bright tropical hop character and crisp bitterness of the original and elevates it to new heights. With a commanding 10% ABV and a massive hop bill, it’s a DIPA designed for true hop enthusiasts.

Founded in 1996, Ballast Point Brewing Co. helped shape the West Coast IPA style. The flagship Sculpin IPA became a global sensation, named after a small but sting-worthy fish. Imperial Sculpin honors that legacy, intensifying every characteristic—more hops, more flavor, more strength—into a bold and unforgettable expression.
