TEN different hop varieties??

I count 5 varieties, which is still more than I typically use.

Oops didn’t see all those others in the dry hop.  Wow that’s crazy.

Having been to the Asheville brewery and drinking this beer I can honestly say that it was delicious!

That was more common in the very early 2010s when Wicked Weed launched. A lot of at least then popular hops were hard to get consistently so breweries were pumping out IPAs with a lot of varieties so if they struggled to get the same volumes of hops they could stay in the ballpark by changing proportions or subbing hops. The Stone Enjoy By IPA was specifically built for that reality. That was a time when cascade was getting hard to find consistently because there was so much demand although at the time it was grown extensively.

Now as long as you can get your hands consistently on mosaic, citra and galaxy, you can make a new IPA every week by adding whatever other fruity hops you can source.
