Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPABeer-a-Day #183

For all their ubiquity I can’t believe I haven’t written anything about one of these before. And I like drinking local.

Our 60 Minute IPA is continuously & intensely hopped. A session India Pale Ale brewed with Warrior, Amarillo & ‘Mystery Hop X.’ A powerful East Coast I.P.A. with a lot of citrusy hop character. The session beer for hardcore beer enthusiasts!

Light amber in color, with an off-white head. Loads of hops in the aroma; the grapefruit is pronounced. That is good, and I can taste every one of those 60 IBUs.

I will be having this again and again.

North Coast ScrimshawBeer-a-Day #182

Halfway through the year, and I’ve just about exhausted the selection at my favorite retailer. I’ve taken to shopping with a list of things I shouldn’t get.

Named for the delicate engravings popularized by 19th century seafarers, Scrimshaw is a fresh tasting Pilsner brewed in the finest European tradition using Munich malt and, Hallertauer and Tettnang hops. Scrimshaw has a subtle hop character, a crisp, clean palate, and a dry finish.

Pale, but not quite blonde. Copious white head. Earthy and a little fruity. Refreshing. Goes pretty well with this tomato, basil, bread dish my wife made. I’d have this again.

Al started his Beer-a-Day project back on Jan 1, 2009 and he hasn’t missed a day yet! Today marks the half-way point.

Personally, I think he is crazy for attempting this but if anyone can do it, it’s him.

Let’s all raise a glass and give Al a big cheer for his accomplishment.

Cheers!
