RR - PTE. One week old and delicious! #drinkit

Port - Hop-15 IIPA. A touch boozy for me and high carbonation.

Deschutes - Fresh Squeezed IPA. Absolute delicious tropical fruit bomb! #drinkit

Just snagged 1 lb N. Brewer and 1 lb Citra Whole Leaf! I think a S.M.A.S.H is in my future. #hops #homebrew

Sierra Nevada - Nooner Session IPA. It has a bit of an earthy nutty bitterness. I Don't love it but I don't hate it either.

Ninkasi - Total Domination IPA. Really like this as an every day drinker. Not too bitter, balanced and at the right price. #drinkit

New Keggle in the works! Just doubled my capacity! #homebrew

Perfect weather for an outdoor brew day. Black IPA coming up! #homebrew

Fat Heads - Head Hunter IPA. perfect beer for brewing up a Black IPA. #craftbeer

[drinkipa]

Brew Day - S.M.A.S.H. Maris Otter W/ Sorachi Ace and BRY-97 yeast. #homebrew

[drinkipa]

Cleveland Belgian Citra Rye IPA. I think the Westmalle yeast is contributing a lot more flavor to this than you'd think. Decent brew, not too bitter well done. #craftbeer

[drinkipa]

Prairie Artisan Ales - Puncheon Saison. Fantastic beer! Perfect balance of tart, funk, and body. These Gus are killing it. #craftbeer #drinkit

[drinkipa]

Jester King - CENSORED Pecan Smoked Saison. Just under a year old and this is tasting great. Smoke and oak stand out at first but as you drink on it the yeast starts to pick up as you adjust to the smoke. Very well executed! #craftbeer #drinkit @jesterkingbrewery

LAVA - Smoked IMP Stout. Wow! I'm impressed with my first sip ever. Incredibly smooth and silky. Yet complex roasted malts and chocolate harmonize perfectly w/ amount of smoke. #craftbeer #drinkit
