NC's Best Drinking IPAs/ DIPAs

Definitely try the That's What He's Having IPA.

 

New DIPA from Lynnwood out today, will have slide by there soon and taste it.

 

^ @CavemanRamblin thanks for the heads-up!

 

It was definitely good. A different kind of DIPA than Hubris, but definitely good and I.'kl go back for another soon. I think he said they used simcoe, cascade, and something else in it.

The Galaxy dry-hopped saison is my favorite thing there right now though and Hop on Top has been really good lately too.

 

Putting this one in the calendar since you all got me hyped to try it.

 

Heard it is Simcoe, Columbus & Cascade - not sure which one for the dry hop though.....

 

With what I've heard about Bond Brothers stuff recently, I may have to grab a crowler or two before vacation next week. Can anyone fill me in a bit more about how they do crowlers? Prefilled of some/most of what's on tap each day? Do they sell out fast or last through the day or beyond?

Also, I'm hitting Veil and Tired Hands releases July 12-13 and could be willing to trade. PM if you're interested. Cheers!

 

Was at Bond Bros yesterday actually. They do pre-fill them. Looked like they had crowlers of most of what was on tap, with the only exception I noticed being the session ipa Tempo (I assume they were running low on it, otherwise I don't see why they wouldn't have been offering that one too). I've only been there a handful of times so far, so I couldn't say how often they fill them or if/when they sell out normally. There were a good number available yesterday around noon when they opened, that's all I can really be sure of.

I didn't like the session one as much as a lot of people seem to, but it was still better than most. However, the latest batch of Local with topaz and amarillo is absolutely outstanding and I think you'd have a hard time finding a better standard ipa anywhere in the Triangle.

 

I see Bond Brothers has been mentioned in here, can you bring outside food there? I've never been and may go this weekend.

 

I don't see why not. They have food trucks there a lot of times too.

 

Before four? I see on their site they have a section for food trucks but they're all later than I'd be there

 

I was there around 12:30 or 1:00 last weekend and there was one there, but I have no idea about any kind of schedule or other times really.

 

Appreciate the heads up, will definitely get by there this weekend to try that one.

 

Yes that Local was freakin delicious. And I know this is a thread dedicated to IPA but man the coconut cinnamon variation of their imperial stout was phenomenal. Had a great first visit, will frequent often.

 

Release tomorrow at 11am
