Drink this beer! (Then take a nap.)
A quick one before the post-ride nap….if you like IPAs, consider yourself a hop-head, or just like trying new things, then Lagunitas Hop Stoopid IPA should be on your next shopping list. It’s similar in appearance to Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA, but with slightly less body (the appearance is deceiving…it’s copper, but transparent), and more hop bite (Lagunitas is using hop extract, which is supposed to be “cleaner” when done well…I’m still undecided, but this beer will certainly be on my go-to list.) Perhaps, even, it’s a better version of Stone’s Arrogant Bastard (Cody, I think we need a second opinion here.)
Vitals:
8% ABV,
1.085 OG,
102 IBUs,
$3.29 / 22 oz. (@ Central Market. That’s cheaper than Arrogant Bastard *any day*)
Sean,
Once again, I admit to being a creature of habit. Tonight I ran down to the corner store and bought another Arrogant Bastard. And yes it was as good as I had remembered! If you think Lagunitas is better than…bring on the taste test. However, when you compare it to a Dogfish Head 90 minute I start to doubt it.
Later,
CJB
