El Segundo Steve Austin's Broken Skull IPA
El Segundo Steve Austin's Broken Skull IPA is an American IPA at 6.7% ABV, brewed by El Segundo Brewing Company in El Segundo, California with WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin — this pack is four 16oz cans. The brewery's own page lists the hop bill as Cascade, Chinook and Citra, and describes a beer designed by Austin and the brewery "for the working man & woman": big hop flavour with an easy finish. Austin collaborated hands-on — he described the IPA characteristics he wanted in detail and founder Rob Croxall built the recipe around them — and the beer launched at the brewery on 13 November 2015 with Austin serving at the event. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Built With Stone Cold, Not Just Named for Him
El Segundo Brewing Company was founded in 2011 by Rob Croxall and Tom Kelley and built its name on hoppy West Coast IPAs. Austin was already a fan of the brewery's Citra Pale and Mayberry IPA before the collaboration; for Broken Skull he sat down with Croxall, spelled out the IPA he wanted — big mid-palate hop flavour, a quick-fading, polite bitterness — and Croxall built the Cascade, Chinook and Citra recipe to that brief.

Tasting Notes
The brewery publishes no formal note set beyond its design brief: big hop flavour up front and through the mid-palate from the Cascade, Chinook and Citra bill, then a quick-fading bitterness and an easy finish — a full-flavoured IPA built to stay drinkable.
How to Enjoy
Serve cold, straight from the can or in a pint glass. The brewery designed it as a working person's IPA — it pairs the way one should: burgers, wings, barbecue and anything off the grill.
