Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is talk about IPA's. I wonder if you guys reading this would ever like to hear me talk about something else. Well, if you want me to talk about something else....just comment. Until then, I am feeling like talking about my executive meeting with Brother Joe at my favorite La Conner hang out....the pub at the Nell Thorn. I love this place for its intimate ambience. It feels like you are in the galley of a old, wooden sailboat. So check it out...its a great place. Oh yah, it also has the best burger and fry combination I have ever had.
I had a pint of the Gospel IPA (filtered on the right) and Boundary's (unfiltered on the left), both of which I have spoken of before. They represent two very different styles. Boundary's is my favorite and is citrusy (grapefruit), piney, and otherwise floral....just wonderfully balanced. The Gospel is a kick in the teeth. Although I may not prefer it over the Boundary style, I appreciate it for what it is....the epitome of what the alpha hop represents. Based on that alone, it is always worthy of a pint.
