What better day to be a #Beerologist than a #beersaturday on Father's Day weekend? Dad or not, you are always invited to leave a huge upvote and join our friend @detlev to create your own post with the gang! So glad to have found a home with beer drinkers across the world on my favourite blockchain.
For week 415, I am enjoying a couple special pints of the week and discovering another new IPA to feed the obsession.
Among the best Pints of the Week are enjoyed in the tap room at a craft brewery no doubt. What makes them even better? When you are with your better half and earning WifePoints© while enjoying the sunshine! This was actually a quick one after attending the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Jose Bautista. It would have been rude not to stop into Broken Rail Brewing while in town.
Here is the aforementioned inductee. He is Dominican but has a soft spot in Canadian baseball fans for his time spent with the Blue Jays highlighted by THE bat flip.
Here are a couple bonus PotWs we enjoyed at the ceremony on a hot and sunny day. A Leafs Lager for my better half and a Greenwood IPA for me. Loved seeing Left Field Brewery all the way out in this small town but their namesake obviously has a direct link to baseball.
Anyhow, back to Broken Rail. In the tap room, you can see a full list of different beer styles and some of the events they hold to keep people visiting again and again. I do just for the beer!
)What Does Dad Like?
Well, BEER of course! More specifically in my case, IPA. When I see a new IPA on the shelf, I have to pick it up. Primarily because I love me an IPA. Secondarily because I am always researching to find professionally brewed ones I particularly like so we can dissect them and brew similar ones of our own at the brewery. Tertiarily (is that a word?) because it is great content for friends and followers at #beersaturday.
This one had a fat enough label that it took two photos to get it all in. Hazy Roy NEIPA is another one of these goofy labels with questionable design but it is trendy and a good way to have your IPA leap off a shelf absolutely saturated with others. It weighs in a bit light at only 6% ABV and the standard is 6.3% for a proper NEIPA. Suggests some of the sugar is still in the beer to make it a sweet tropical treat.
Stragnely enough it is difficult to know, just from the can label, who actually brews this beer. Not wise in the branding intent but I recognized the top-hat logo that it might be another strange one from Refined Fool I still have no idea who the hell Roy is or why he is a hazy boy but this is a damn enjoyable hazy and juicy treat. I will have forgotten about Roy completely the next time I pick up another Refined Fool shot in the dark IPA but this was a good one.
#BEERSaturday!
On the subject of IPA, this is true. Maybe not as much as if I was crushing light ales but still holds true!
Join me, @detlev , and these other beerologists because there is always room for more beer bloggers at this week's Beer Saturday gathering... https://hive.blog/hive-187719/@detlev/beersaturday-415 Happy Father's Day weekend for week 415!
