Sam Adams IPA Hop-Ology Sampler

Hate beer?  Many do.  Many do not know what beer is after having had a Budweiser at a softball game.

There is a revival of craft brewing in America that reintroduces a unique concept to the beverage: flavors.

Hops and Malts are the primary flavor determinants.  Wine lovers talk about grapes and their types and maturity.  I like Wine too, but I am not a snob.  Beer aficionados talk different degrees and types of Hops and types of malts used.  Water and yeast are crucial of course.

This quarter, Sam Adams has introduced the IPA HOP-OLOGY sampler of 6 HOPPY brews.

1.  Lattitude 48 is already my current favorite (tripple hopped)  and available by the case.  Other offerings are :
2.  Grumpy Monk a belgian style
3.  Third Voyage (double hopped)
4.  White Water IPA (wheat beer)
5.  Dark Depths (7+ % )
6.  Tasman Red (Tasmanian hops)

I have my favorites of the above six but you should try your own if you like beer.  If you don't like beer, you have never tried the above.  Ask for it at your local distributor.  Go elsewhere if they say they cannot get it.  I found it in RURAL MARYLAND.
