    I'm looking forward to giving this a try...

    "Seeing Double IPA was Foothills’ first-ever high gravity beer -so it was due for some fresh, carefully considered brush strokes.

    Here’s proof: one the main hops in our revamped recipe is Citra – which hadn’t even been invented when Seeing Double was originally brewed.

    We’ve also added Mosaic, and replaced the Cascade dry hop with one featuring the aforementioned Citra, along with Chinook, a hop that adds the signature piney resinous qualities for which Seeing Double has become known – while getting a nice compliment from the citrusy floral qualities of its fellow hops.

    The malt profile was also refined, dialed down with base malts and made a little drier, simply to promote the new hop bill. Think of the grains as the canvas and the hops as the paint."

    seeing double was a good as it got in NC for a couple years. Still good but I'm glad to see this step in their evolution

    Wasn't Wise Man's Conceited Genius a NE Style IPA?

    If you count Asheboro as being in the Triad, Four Saints brewed "Bandwagon," a NE-style IPA.

    Gibb's should do one. I don't like most of their beers, but Blind Man's Holiday is a damn good and hazy pale ale.

    Agreed. It's the only beer if theirs I'd buy.
