WET…STICKY…PUNGENT…HOPS!
Today, I recieved not one, but TWO fresh hop ales!
1. Port Brewing High Tide Wet Hop IPA
2. Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale
The Harvest 08 is one of the best hoppy beers is the best yet in the Harvest series. Its light piney hop character and surprisingly malty backbone form a serendipitous balance. I think my bottle lasted about 5 minutes.
OTHER NEW ARRIVALS:
1. Lost Abbey Avant Garde Ale
2. Port Brewing Wipe Out IPA
3. Port Brewing Santa’s Little Helper (at brewer’s request, not for sale until October 15. No need to reserve, I’ve got loads;)
