Hop Defender

Hop Defender is a West Coast IPA brewed in collaboration with Other Realms — Hawaii's beloved haven for comic book and tabletop gaming enthusiasts for over 38 years. Inspired by the legendary Gunther, a warrior cat standing atop the cliffs of conquest, sword Thunderstrike raised high against the Hop Demons threatening the realm — this beer is a battle cry in a can.

Old school meets new school in this bold West Coast IPA, with classic piney bitterness balanced against bright, modern hop character. Grapefruit, pine, and floral notes dominate — clean, crisp, and unapologetically hoppy. This is a beer for defenders of great craft.

Whether you first discovered Other Realms at Ward Warehouse or found them at their current Nimitz Center location, this collab is a love letter to the nerds, the gamers, and the comic collectors who make Hawaii's culture so uniquely its own.
