The earthy hop notes are phenomenal on this beer, and with a low ABV and malt bill, this beer is dangerously drinkable.
I am traditionally not a German Pils kind of guy. Maybe not the most aromatic or complicated IPAs, but this beer really delivers a great balance of citrus flavors and hop bitterness.Ģ] North Coast Brother Thelonious: For me this is the quintessential Belgian Strong Dark Abbey Ale, full of flavor and one of the best interpretations of the style.ģ] Victory Prima Pils: I can remember trying this for the first time around seven years ago thinking I wasn’t going to like it. SEAN ROBINSON, CRAFT BEER MANAGER, C&C DISTRIBUTINGġ] Smuttynose Finestkind IPA: A beautifully balanced IPA that really hits the spot for hopheads. It’s also one of the most approachable IPAs at 42 IBUs. It seems today everyone is trying to “out-hop” one another sometimes you just want a IPA that is true to the style. Great hop/malt balance, floral, and has a refreshing aftertaste that doesn’t ruin your palate. Harpoon IPA is one of those beers that gets lost in the shuffle with all the new IPAs and DIPAs coming out. One of my go-to beers any time of the year. Sometimes you just want a solid ale that isn’t trying to be anything it’s not supposed to be. The first that comes to mind is Long Trail Ale. SAM GLYNN, OWNER/OPERATOR, CHOMP KITCHEN AND DRINKS The next time you’re whelmed by the tantalizing new offerings/seasonals/one-offs that are maxing out shelves and coolers, you should mix-a-six and revisit these time-tested brews. We’ve asked our ever-evolving panel of local beer savants to share their taken-for-granted/readily available/often veteran selections.
