    1) Drekker King of The Thing (8.3% no canning date): A NEIPA from North Dakota with Citra hops for flavors of orange citrus, tropical citrus, some sweet peach. Juicy, soft, and smooth.
    versus
    2) BlackStack KPIs (8.3% no canning date): A NEIPA from Minnesota with HBC 602 Nectaron for flavors of lemon, bright pineapple, grapefruit, white grape, and mango.(Correctly matched the two beers blind)

    Drekker vs. BlackStack DIPA Battle both weighing in at 8.3%. First is Drekker King Of The Thing. All Citra hops with a distinct sweet peach flavor. Excellent, but I've noticed some versions of this are better than others and it has to be fresh. This one seems like a bit more peach than previous versions.
    Next is BlackStack KPIs. Some nice Nectaron for similar flavors but more complex grape, mango, and stonefruit. BlackStack with the win over Drekker in this one.
    Winner: BlackStack KPIs

    Picked up some fresh SoS - and not a moment too soon, having run out of Tree House IPAs.

    Cleaning out the fridge, so nothing Irish themed for me this weekend. Starting off with an Ipswich, hopefully a second before dinner.

    Ah, now it's officially St Patrick's Day weekend.
    Murphy's hits the spot.
    I wish I could buy the inventor of the Widget a beer, but I'll toast to him.
