Forgive any slurring on this episode. I am not drunk, I just woke

up from a nap. Yes, I had a couple beers before my nap, but my brain is

waking up.

Anyways, I sip on the Union Jack IPA from Firestone

Walker Brewing Company. They are from Paso Robles, CA and have sold to

Duvel in 2015. They have an excellent barrel aging program and I

thoroughly enjoy this IPA on the show.

It is a 7% abv beer, but doesn’t taste like booze. It’s hoppy and makes me happy.

This

brewery is still respectable to me, mostly because they are still

barrel aging. I love when brewers do stuff like “barrel aging” because

there are so many variables that make a brewery vulnerable, but that

vulnerability can pay off huge sums (1. by charging more and 2. because

of the awesome products the efforts can yield).

I also drink

Coronado Brewing’s Peach Cruiser IPA. It is an IPA made with peach

puree. It is 6.8% abv. This brewery is from the San Diego region and

they came out around 1996.

That is about all I got from their

story (breweries please take note: spend more time on writing your story

out on your website).

This beer is a lovely IPA with subtle

hints of fruit and tropical explosions. The peach is there, but it

complements the beer in a good way.

That is about it for this show, besides me talking about my band, recent batch of beer and other shenanigans.
