High-hop IPA with intense bitterness, bright citrus, and a dry finish for experienced beer drinkers who want more bite.
Melvin 2x4 is for guests who want an IPA with serious hop punch, firm bitterness, and a dry finish. It delivers a louder hop profile than a standard pale ale, so it fits beer drinkers who enjoy bold flavor and a sharper edge. If you like IPAs that get straight to the point, this is a strong pick.
This beer pairs best with food that can stand up to bitterness and bright citrus notes. Think burgers, wings, seasoned fries, and spicy plates. If you want to plan your food around the beer, our drink pairing guide offers useful ideas. For guests coming from the valley or passing through on the way to dinner, the North Salt Lake location is a convenient place to stop.

Melvin 2x4 brings strong hop flavor from the first sip, so it is best for guests who already know they like a firm IPA finish. The bitterness cuts through heavy food and keeps the beer feeling sharp during a long dinner or a late night with friends. It is the kind of pint that makes sense when you want something with more edge than a standard lager or amber.
Choose Melvin 2x4 when you want a beer that delivers big hop character and pairs well with hearty pub food. If you are planning a full night out, it fits naturally into a dinner-and-drinks stop before heading downtown or staying close to home.
