#IPADay - Thursday - August 2, 2012

I'll be drinking a stout, maybe some sours today.

 

OK- You all talked me into it. I'll be grabbing a Hop Stoopid on the way home, and I wasn't planning on doing it at all, previously to reading this thread (yeah...that's the ticket...). The things I do for the beer community!

 

I have a few ZD's lying around, and have some Furious inbound from france44, hope they show up today. Cases of Sculpin are lying at Bestway, my impression is that internist has slacked off to a great degree. I know I pass them up.

 

I just picked up a bottle of Ballast Point Dorado Double IPA that I'll be cracking in a few hours.

 

Woo Hoo! An excuse to drink during the week.

 

Bring that bad boy to Carton! I'm going at 6:15 today.

 

I'll be popping a Pliny & a Double Dorado..see we're it goes from there.

 

Might as well go big and try the devil dancer I found yesterday. #tripleIPAday. And follow it with some heady topper, after work of course.

 

Loved @BeerScribe 's tweet today on the subject.

 

Ha - indeed. I don't understand why IPA was chosen. Even non-craft drinkers know what an IPA is. It would be much more interesting to do Russian Imperial Stout day or something else that would open some eyes to a new style.

 

Heady Topper
Heavy Seas Loose Cannon
Jai Alai
White Rajah

Are all on deck tonight to celebrate.

 

One last can of Heady in the fridge. Probably with have some Finestkind and Perpetual IPA before then throughout the day.

 

Heading to the store over lunch to grab some Furious, Myrcenary, maybe Lake Erie Monster and a bomber of Hop Henge. Though, Ruination is sounding good...

Chicken sausages on the grill with a Duvel tulip of Furious in hand this evening is sounding mighty fine.

 

Fresh and even year-old Bigfoot!

 

Most likely some 2 week old Smutty "Finestkind" for me.Maybe some NEBCo. Gandhi-Bot.
Maybe some Green Flash W.C.I.P.A.....well,you get the picture.........

Cheers All..........

 

For me it will be, God-willing, my first ever Heady!!
And West-coast stuff!

 

"Probably" go out and hit a bar today?.............I think not.
You should stay in and have a few Headys,check ur inbox for my address,then proceed to pack up some heady for me to be shipped out a.s.a.p........

Cheers,Enjoy.

 

Lil' taste of heaven! OK, BIG TASTE!

 

I grabbed a reg Ruination and a 10th for a side by side comparison. I'm up at the lake on family vacation and my fellow hop head coz is here, should be a fun little mini tasting.

 

I'm all ready:

=D

 

Can't wait to go to my local spot: Three Floyd's Zombie Dust, Founders Devil Dancer, Goose Island Imperial IPA, Brooklyn Blast and a firkin of Bells Two Hearted (cask)!

 

Ready. Set. Go!



Shoutout to sandman3479 for the Heady & Ghandi!

 

I have several IPAs in the fridge ready to go! Can't wait have some new ones to try.

 

Celebrating IPA Day in style! You'd be surprised how easy it was to acquire these in Georgia. Not a lot of "craft beer people" here.

 

Just walked into a brewery and they are out of IPAs today...told the guy it's IPADay, and he just stared at me like I was an idiot. My response, "Nevermind, just get me whatever."

 

I've got a bottle of Le Freak that's not too old, an old-ish bottle of Foothills Hoppyum, an old-ish can of Gandhi-Bot (well, maybe 6-7 weeks, not bad), a bottle of Hopus I'm not sure the date of, and just picked up a sixer of Perpetual IPA today so I'd have something fresher. Looking forward to one or two of these tonight!

 

Homebrewed Galaxy IPA on tap and then probably moving on to some Gandhi-Bot. Next Thrusday will be my IPA Day when I pick up some cases of Heady Topper at the Alchemist while heading to Burlington!!! Goes on sale at 11am on Monday and Thursdays... I don't think I will find anything better than a Heady Topper under 24 hours old! Cannot wait to pop my Heady Topper Cherry!!!

 

This is a good day to try my first 120 Minute.

 

Only IPAs I have in the fridge are an 8 Wired Hopwired and a couple Phillips Krypton RyePA. My drain didn't even like the taste of Krypton last time I opened one, so I guess it's Hopwired for me tonight!

 

Freshly canned La Cumbre Elevated IPA I picked up on Sat!!!

 

Hopefully cracking my first ever Heady Topper via trade. Pretty stoked... hope I am not amping myself up too much.

 

I picked up Tenth Anniversary Ruination and Green Flash Imperial IPA today. I likely will not get to them today.

 

Party pooper.

 

I had my first Stone beer today, their IPA. Definitely a solid beer.
