Default I have tasted the goodness ...

And I am hooked.
Had my first Bell's Two Hearted Ale today at lunch (just one, don't work until later tonight). It was as good, even better, than everybody here says. Too bad this doesn't make its way to New England.

I have a new favorite IPA. Fantastic.

Bell's is readily available here in the midwest. It's a shame that it hasn't made it's way out to New England. I have a brother living in CT. Next time I visit him I'll bring you some good medicine.

The only shame is they charge $9.99 a six pack

Bridgeport here in Portland makes a fantastic IPA, IMO.

Just brew your own!

Bell's Two-Hearted is 100% Centennial hops, so that's a good place to start!

Thanks BM. I'll do a PM version of this and probably save your recipe for my first AG. I liked it that much.

Been touting two-hearted to friends for a long time. Funny thing is it's in damn near every store around here, even the podunk one three miles from me out here in the sticks.

I used to say this would be my beer if stranded on an island and could have only one.
