Enjoying a nice cold brew right now.
I had a couple of these last night: Palm Speciale
Very refreshing (and they helped me win 3rd place in the regional championships)
2011 marks the 100th birthday of Mississippi Delta bluesman Robert Johnson who, according to legend, sold his soul down at the crossroads in a midnight bargain and changed music forever. Working again with our friends at Sony Legacy (yup, the same folks we did our Miles Davis-inspired Bitches Brew with), Dogfish Head pays tribute to this blues legend by gettin the hellhounds off his trail and into this finely-crafted ale.
Hellhound is a super-hoppy ale that hits 100 IBUs in the brewhouse, 10.0 ABV, 10.0 SRM in color, and dry-hopped with 100% centennial hops at a rate of 100 kilos per 100 barrel brew-length. Can you tell we at Dogfish are stoked for this mighty musical centennial? To accentuate and magnify the citrusy notes of the centennial hops (and as a shout out to Robert Johnsons mentor Blind Lemon Jefferson) we add dried lemon peel and flesh to the whirlpool.
I've been back in LA for a few days and wandered into one of my old watering holes.
They have 24th Street Pale on tap, from Strand Brewing in Torrance, California.
Holy crap is this stuff good. This is the third night I've been back for it. It's a deliciously hopped APA. Almost as good as my beloved Racer 5 and in the same league as Dogfish Head and Raging Bitch. I'm not really sure I could pick a favorite at this point.
It's a good thing I don't have a kegerator. It'd be tempting to pick up a few gallons and waste the better part of a week drinking it.
Raging Bitch, does it taste as good as it's name?
The only good beer by Flying Dog in my opinion. It's actually, fairly decent.
