Sudden Death Bodycheck is an IPA from Sudden Death Brewing Company in Lübeck, Germany. The brewery was founded by two ice hockey enthusiasts, Olli and Ricky, who merged their passion for the sport with craft brewing—the name pays tribute to sudden death moments in hockey when a match is decided by the first goal.

This IPA sits in the fresh and fruity category. At 6.5% ABV and with a hop-forward character, Bodycheck strikes a balanced approach to the IPA style without the weight of stronger variants. The beer reflects the modern German brewing wave that pairs crisp lagers with hazy hop-driven ales.
