IPA I love me some IPA, however the style has come to resperent the epitome of what constitutes good beer in some people’s minds. To limit oneself to IPA/PA, is to shortchange yourself of the plethora of good beers of many differing styles. I tend to notice the hop-head is more prevalent here in the NW than back home in Texas, so it might be something of a regional thing.And I still like a good IPA, but an IPA that doesn’t have balance is just another beer worthy of the sink. When I read about trying to out-IPA the next, it brings to mind more and more hop bitterness, flavor and aroma to the detriment of the malt backbone. Tsk tsk.If I can find their brews up here, I will most certainly give them a try. I love me some Belgian-inspired beer too. []
