Get ready for a lot of IPAs! Andy, Chris, and Siobhan join Matt to kick off our 2 part "Rocket Rankings" series of IPA tasting. We taste our way through Sierra Nevada - Celebration, Sherman St. - Hop Next, Beer Tree - Citra Grove, Adroit Theory - Death.net, Dogfish Head - 90 Minute IPA, Other Half - Broccoli, Lost Tavern - Life's a Trip Vol. 10, and Oliver - First Class.
As we journey through a galaxy of IPAs, we review everything from label art to the intriguing aromas that each unique brew presents. You'll hear our candid takes on the dryness and flavor profiles of brews like Sherman Street's offerings and discover why Beer Tree's Citra Grove New England IPA got our attention big time. Our tasting session is filled with colorful anecdotes and brewery backstories, making each sip not just a tasting experience but a trip through the craft beer cosmos.
Personal stories from a bachelor party at the Dogfish Head brewery add a touch of humor and nostalgia, especially as we discuss their wild creations like the Pennsylvania Tuxedo and even a lobster beer. We wrap up this episode by ranking our favorite IPAs, debating their qualities, and highlighting why beer, much like music, is a deeply personal adventure. Tune in and taste the universe with us!
