Mash Gang Chug is one of the first recipes the founders developed and has since become the core alcohol-free hazy IPA in the brand's range. The recipe uses oats and wheat to build a thick, creamy body, and incorporates a small quantity of habanero chilli — not for heat, but to provide the throat sensation that ethanol typically delivers in a full-strength IPA. The hop character is described by the brand as saturated and fruit-forward, in line with the style's New England influences. Chug sits at the heart of a growing Mash Gang lineup and represents the house approach to the category, making it the natural starting point for anyone new to the brand.
