Yesterday evening, my friend Roger called and asked I wanted
to join him and his wife Kristina at Parry’s for a couple of pints and a
pizza. I promptly headed to Parry’s and
they had a glass of Green Flash – Palate Wrecker (9.5% ABV and +100 IBUs)
waiting for me. It was interesting
because I took a sip and then Kristina had me try Odell’s Myrcenary, which is
not a small beer, but I should have tasted it first because Palate Wrecker
dominated the taste buds.
Kristina ordered some fried pickles that were excellent and
we ordered a Summer of 2010 pizza with pepperoni, spicy sausage, jalapenos, and
pepperoncini – it was spicy and tasty.
For round two, I enjoyed Sierra Nevada’s Hoptimum (10.4% ABV and 100 IBU) and it went great
with the pizza. I have had Hoptimum
before and it was one of my favorite beers that I tried last year. The 2012
version was excellent two. If you like
IPAs or Double IPAs, both of these beers are fantastic and I highly recommend
them.
