Well the past few weeks the beer scene has been flooded with limited, short run IPA's from all over the US. This was the first one on the scene that everyone went searching for. I realize that some of you don't fully realize what I mean by this hunt. When these beers hit the market it's like a frenzy, you here about it all over the Internet. If you are not attentive these beers pass you by, with little exposure. I will be sure to get a quick post out the next time something goes so viral. He'll, try to get your hands on a barrel aged Bigfoot barley wine from Sierra Nevada right now! Most stores only got one case or 12 bottles. This beer came out last Wednesday, and only two total wines in NOVA have received this beer so far. The stores in Richmond sold out in 5 hours or so.
The frenzy over IPA's is some what understandable. This style of beer is best had fresh, as Stone pointed out by telling consumers to drink thus beer by a certain date. The hop is a fresh herb that spoils as it is exposed to fermenting liquid. This is the last time I will say this, drink fresh IPA's!
This beer from Stone comes in at about an 8 compared to the other offerings this month. I prefer the floral or piney flavor that this beer provides. The Troeg's nugget nectar provides the clean flavor and slap in the face that I look for out of this style. Get into the hunt! This beer should come back around for Stone. Keep tabs at www.stonebrewing.com and enjoy fresh!
