Episode 149 – To IPA Or Not To IPA…
Posted By John on July 17th, 2009
To keep pace with beers we have been drinking this Summer we brought out New Belgium’s Abbey Ale. Goose Island has been good to us in the past, so we decided to bring out their IPA in honor of the hops challenge.
Week five of the hops Challenge. This week Marissa actually came to enjoy the hops. Enough that she graded that IPA in this show higher than Brian or I. Brian M. continued to stay stable. He is still not a fan of hops.
