Day 347 - Brew Free or Die

So, joined in the Whisky of the Week tonight (www.whiskyofweek.blogspot.com) and got caught up on this week and last. That left me in a quandry. I mean, after decent scotch, what beer do you drink? Choices were: this, a frubee or a big bottle black ale. No way I was going to desecrate the memory of scotch with a frubee, and the big black ale has a lot of potential, so this was a good compromise. Good news is, I nailed it.

A good orange-tinged yellow, and plenty of hoppiness makes this the canned beer fav by far. It finishes just a bit rough to break my top favs, but for a day out on the boat and saving the weight of glass, this is the beer.

Specs:

Full Name: Brew Free or Die IPA
Brewed By: 21st Amendment Brewery
From: Cold Springs NH
ABV: 7%

Less than 20 days and counting, and still finding a few gems out there. If you like your beer mostly hops with a little malt added, this is it. Of course, if you are in a chugging contest, this would not be the one to pick, as it definitely grabs some tonsil on the way past.

cheers!
