Well I’m in the final turn of IPAFest 2024. If I’m counting correctly, we should deplete out on day 42, which is this upcoming Sunday. Should I go out and do some more IPA shopping? JUST KIDDING!!!
I’ve been hitting these IPAs day in and day out since January 1. Let me tell you, it really is an interesting experience. You really get dialed in to what makes a particular style when you focus specifically on it. After 42 days, probably over 60 total IPAs counting the multiple IPA days, it is a LOT of beer and a lot of hops, a lot of opinions on what you like and don’t like in an IPA.
If only speed-dating was this good…. 60 dates… we’d all be married to different spouses. Brings on a whole new meaning of Pint-Sized Wives!
I can hardly wait to begin StoutFest 2024 in March. Eh, me thinketh not!
Firestone Walker just keeps cranking out the great beers, but brewers, what’s with these wimpified short little cans? Aren’t these the same cans they sell Bud Light in? C’MON! 16 to 24 ounce cans for IPAs, PLEASE!!! These shorties don’t even fill a glass. Sissy can. SISSY CAN.
Cali Crusier is a 6.6% ABV “Juicy” West Coast IPA. Yes it is “Juicy” (Well, I think Juicy, still working on that one) and even a bit dank. I know what dank means, I’m not stupid. This is a great IPA, and just like everything else they do, you will enjoy! Chug!
