PARKER, CO — June 2026 — Lone Tree Brewing Company is resurrecting a fan-favorite twist on its cult-classic Hop Zombie with the return of Summer Hop Zombie (also known as Summer Solstice Imperial Juicy IPA). The high-octane summer seasonal launches on June 20, 2026 — perfectly timed for the summer solstice — and will be available for one day only at the brewery’s Parker location.
Bursting with bigger hops, intense tropical fruit aromas, and a potent 10% ABV bite, Summer Hop Zombie delivers hypnotic waves of passionfruit, mango, pineapple, and citrus backed by a juicy, resinous hop character. This limited Imperial Juicy IPA is designed for true hop lovers seeking bold summer vibes and big flavor.
Limited Release Details and Exclusive Merch
The beer will be available on draft and in 6-packs to-go at Lone Tree Brewing Parker — but supplies won’t last long. In true Zombie Day tradition, the brewery is also releasing a limited run of collectible Hop Zombie glassware featuring this year’s Point Break surf-themed artwork. The first ten people in line on June 20 will score a free glass.
“Surf’s up. Cans down. This one’s for the legends.”
The 14-Year Hop Zombie Legacy
Hop Zombie has been a cornerstone of Lone Tree Brewing’s lineup for over 14 years. The original is a bold Imperial Red IPA known for its deep red color, rich malt backbone, and massive hop presence (typically around 9% ABV and 90 IBUs). The Summer Solstice version transforms the classic into a hazy, juicy summer powerhouse while keeping the legendary attitude intact. This marks the second annual return of the summer edition.
A full Zombie Day celebration at Lone Tree Brewing’s original Lone Tree location is scheduled for later this fall.
