2 Hopped up beers to talk about tonight. First, another selection from Maui Brewing Co. Their Big Swell IPA is pretty good, it is a hoppy, medium bodied IPA, I'd say not very unique, but good all the same. B+ overall (Maui Brewing is quickly gaining ground in my top breweries). The second beer of this evening is the Stone Brewing Oaked Bastard Ale. At first I thought this was a barrel aged edition of the Arrogant Bastard, but it turns out it is brewed with oak chips. Not having a regular old Arrogant Bastard to compare it with, it is hard to say how much of a difference it makes, but I'd say it's pretty damn good, hoppy with a smooth finish, and I think you can taste the oak....A- overall, I'd recommend it.
Happy drinking.
