IPA day

Went to chumleys to work on my passport a bit (embarrassingly, I forgot today was Wed, not Tue and was expecting 3.25 midwest beers). Decided that since today was so great (work wise) I'd go ahead and hit up two of the alltime best IPAs (neither of which were stamped).

First up...Dogfish Head 90 min IPA. I've had 60, but never the 90. They claim that the 90 is actually mellower...and you know what, they're right! The 90 was extremely well balanced with an interestingly sweet malt start, with a sharp hoppy finish. Didn't feel the 9% ABV, which is always a nice (but dangerous) thing. Nice head, beautiful lacing. All in all, an excellent, if overpriced, beer. Even at Chumley's this is $0.50 more per pint than a Two Hearted.

Next beer, and I'm embarrassed to admit this was not my first passport stamp...Two Hearted. Anybody who knows me knows about my love for this beer....and it was spectacular. Good beer to flirt with the bartender over, lol.
