Apparently, I’m the only beer blogger not on the list for free samples.
But this is one worth paying for. After reading the glowing reviews, I asked all over town for this beer, and after nearly giving up hope, I eventually located it at Beermongers. If I were you, and I were in Portland, I’d get over there ASAP – the other places I asked said that it was in extremely short supply, and this is an IPA you shouldn’t miss if you crave big hops. For the rest of you, you might try adding some hop oil to your pale ale.
