Cape May Cans A Fan Fav (Cape May, NJ) – Cape May Brewing is packaging a special stylistic hybrid for the first time ever, and even better, they’re releasing it in 16oz cans. Described as striking a unique balance between the world of sours and the world of hops, Cape May Corrosion IPA is a 6.5% ABV kettle-soured India Pale Ale that’s equal parts Berliner Weisse and equal parts IPA.
