As yes, the simple joys of an IPA. This one is from the fine folks over at the Stone Brewing Company in Escondido, California. Yes - this is in Southern California, but I don't hold that against them - they can still make a wonderful beer. If you have never heard of this brewery before, be careful, as you need a road map to navigate the Vertical, Epic, Anniversary and Collaboration beers. I suggest you start with this one - a wonderful classic West Coast India Pale Ale with the wet hopped goodness that Stone has perfected. Hey - it even gets a perfect 100 over at ratebeer.com - that should keep the beer geeks happy....
Ratebeer.com -----> a perfect 100!
Beer Advocate ------> only a 95? What!!!!
Picked up the latest Big Takeover and Ugly Things magazines down at the local newsagent (along with the Sunday Papers) - got lotsa reading material now....
Cheers,
Jerry
