BATTLE OF THE IPA’s Sunday Beer Tasting Event 2/28/10 5pm

Battle of the IPA’s

From Belgium to England and all the way to the US, these hoppy delights all have a different twist of character.  IBU stands for “international bittering units” which is a measurement of the bitterness of the beer.  Bitterness is caused by the hops used during brewing.  Cheers!

SUNDAY 2/28/10

5pm

$13 to taste all 5 beers

Poperings Hommel Ale

Belgian IPA ……7.5% ABV

From locally grown Gold and Hallertau hops, this beer has twice the bitterness of other Belgian ales.  Hommel is the local word for “hops” and this village takes pride in growing their own!

Urthel Hop-It

Belgian IPA ……9.5% ABV

In homage to the American Northwest IPA’s, she used only European hops. Full and heart-warming Belgian style IPA.  It’s very hoppy, spicy and fruity and bottle conditioned.

Meantime

English IPA ……7.5% ABV

Jam packed with English Fuggles and Goldings, the beer is brewed with as many hops as we can physically get into the copper.

Avery Dugana (93 I.B.U.)

American Double/Imperial IPA ……8.5% ABV

Out of Boulder, CO, this limited release brew is brewed with Chinook, Centennial, and Columbus hop varieties.  Dank, piney and resinous.  Sound familiar?

Green Flash Imperial IPA (101 I.B.U.)

American Double/Imperial IPA ……9.4% ABV

San Diego-style IPA, as it has come to be known by many, is super-hoppy, high gravity, yet highly quaffable ale.  Intense hop flavors and aromas from a unique blend of Summit and Nugget hops.
