Berkshire Black IPA

They've certainly entered 2011. Hopefully the 'Brewers Series' has some legs, this just seems like too little and very late. I'm more excited about Lost Sailor in cans.

 

Really psyched to see something new come out of Berkshire Brewing Company - I really love most of their stuff and was thoroughly disappointed that they skipped Oktoberfest this past fall - it's one of the best out there and its absence portended problems. Hope that's not the case and they keep on chooglin'.

 

I'm betting it'll be unusually sweet for the style. Still want to try it, though.

 

Dare I hope for the return of Double Nickel/Good Night Irene? I bought that and drank it by the case.

 

Goodnight Irene was weird. Tasted pretty good in its own way, but not at all like a west-coast IPA, which it claimed to be.

 

Yeah, it may be a latecomer but ultimately I'd rather they did the beer at their own pace rather than ride each every wave at the potential expense of a lesser product. If it turns out good then we'll drink if. If not, we won't.

On a side note, I wish they'd put more info (such as the picture of this beer) in their Twitter feed rather than just links to Facebook that are of no use to people who don't have a Facebook account.

 

I liked the beer on its own terms. I couldn't care less what the label said.
