Cheers to the Hive!

OK today after i had returned from shopping @millycf1976 informed me that it was international IPA day and asked if I had bought any beer. To which I responded

INTERNATIONAL I P YAYYYYYYYYYYY

and promptly headed back down to the supermarket to hunt down a few specimens to sample. How could I let this occasion pass me by? I mean I don't really do Christmas or even celebrate my birthday much but IPA day?.....Hell yes!

So upon my return I emtptied my shopping bag to reveal what I had found.

This is my Haul !

I was very happy with what they had on offer, plenty to choose from.

A fine selection and no mistake.

So now I must bring myself to sample the goods, to partake in the celebration of all things IPA!

This Twisted Knots is a little hoppy beauty that is made using American hops and packs a fairly good punch at 5.5%. Very tasty and easy to quaff one after another!

Never to be outdone the Scots in Edinburgh bring us the Mosaic New Relic weighing in a pretty good thump at 5.6 and it goes down oh so easy.

at 4.8% the Steam is a good session IPA meaning you can down alot of them without getting too 'Steamed' 😉

and this 5% Hatherwood IPA is a very nicely balanced IPA with just the right amount of Hop flavour that doesn't overpower the brew leaving a satisfied after gulp and making you reach for that next bottle readily with no remorse!

This was my pick of the bunch tonight Down SOuth Brewing's Counter Culture. I could happily sit and drink a dozen of these and just keep asking for a refill as its refreshing, tasty and just the right amount of punching power to make you aware you are boozing! I mean you should feel it or what's the point?!?!?!?

What a beautiful sight to behold!
