Kicking off the beer series today! I figured it fitting since I am going to be drinking lots of beer this weekend. Know where I’m going yet? Maybe? Well you’ll find out soon enough 😉
What better way to start than to give props to a local brewery, The Marin Brewing Company. I haven’t been there yet but I have had their beers and the trip is definitely on my list.
I JUST swooped up this 3 Flowers IPA because I found out it was bottled 10 days ago and I couldn’t resist. YES, 10 DAYS AGO. Is that a joke? How fresh is that?! Well let me tell you, the answer is ….FRESH. This is one of the lightest IPAs I have ever had. Not too hoppy which is perfect for people that think they don’t like IPAs. On a 1-10 scale of hops/bitterness I would give it a 3. Its also very floral and slightly citrusy (if you look for it). I personally prefer IPAs in the winter and am over them by summertime but this IPA I could drink alllll summer long – its actually that light and smooth. 👌
FUN FACT! Hops are female flowers used mainly for stability and flavoring in beer, to which they impart a bitter, tangy flavor. In this beer the “3 flowers” refers to the 3 hops flowers used to create this delicious brew: Citra, Cascade, and Chinook. 🌼
Do me a favor and go get this beer ASAP. Technically it’ll be good for about 3 months before aging but isn’t it just 10 times cooler to drink it 10 days after? um, YES. Slash did you see the “live ale” label on the bottle? How cool is that!
Alright! I’m off to start the weekend and you should too! Cheers!! 🍻 😀
