The menu at The Hungry Wolf offered a tantalizing selection of Western dishes, and I was particularly enticed by their specialty, the "Little Wolf Cheeseburger". As I continued to browse the menu, my focus was captivated by their extensive beer options they had. Unlike my friend, I had a strong craving for an ice-cold beer instead, especially in the sweltering weather.

After conducting some research on their official website, I discovered that the Chatri IPA is crafted using a combination of Galaxy hops, Citra, and Cascade—renowned American hop varieties. This flavorful IPA proudly features an International Bitterness Units (IBU) of 55 and an Alcohol By Volume (ABV) of 5.2%. It's an experience that fosters a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship and artistry that goes into creating this exceptional brew! 👏
