Best Beer Ever?
Well, each beer has a time and a place, but for the best anytime beer, can you say "Lah-Goo-Knee-Tuss?" That's right, Lagunitas' IPA is the current incumbent, and it will take quite a strong campaign to dethrone the reigning favorite. Why Lagunitas? It's extraordinary hoppiness certainly doesn't hurt, but compared to the other IPAs in contention, Lagunitas has this sweet quality about it to complement the heavy-hitting acidity of the 43 different hop varieties infused into this sweet, malty nectar-of-the-gods. Think about it like a good Hawaiian pizza, only drinkable. My suggestion, buy a 24 oz Lagunitas IPA at the Stinson Beach Station, Stinson Beach, CA and take it to the picnic area by the beach. You can also go to Petaluma and visit their brewery.

Lagunitas IPA is fantastic, truly one of the best IPA's out there. But if your really a hophead, check out some of the "fresh hop" ales available. They are usually seasonal, but BevMo often carries both Sierra Nevada "Harvest" Ale, and Deschutes "Hop Trip" Ale, both of which I rank slightly ahead of Lagunitas IPA. Lots of hops, and a very fresh, clean flavor to them. Definately worth the search.
ps. nice blog. Found it through the "Homebrewing Headquarters" facebook group.
