Elysian Brewing in April launched Dank Dust , a 8.2 % ABV , pine-forward India Pale Ale . Brewed with proprietary terpenes , the beer boasts pungent , dank , citrusy , earthy aromas , sweet hop flavor and low bitterness that takes the feeling of Elysian ’ s classic Space Dust IPA up a notch .

What to pair with this style IPA ? The Seattle-based brewery tapped chef , rapper , author and “ dank-isseur ,” Action Bronson to create recipes worthy of pairing with Dank Dust IPA .

Bronson , named Elysian ’ s first-ever “ director of dank ,” worked with the brewery to create two recipes to pair with Dank Dust . He came up with Sticky Short Ribs and Funkified Funnel Cake . The flavors , aromas and creativity that in the recipes were inspired by the dankness of the IPA , Bronson says .

If you ’ re ready to get your dank on , here are Bronson ’ s recipes for dishes to pair Dank Dust , or any citrusy , piney IPA .
