Great write up Forsythian

We musta been thinkin along the same hop-lines this weekend as I picked up three new brews...one of them being the Boulevard Double Wide IPA. I haven't tried her, but seein as I'm a big fan of 3-ways, I'm really lookin forward to it!

I did try Southern Tier's Big Red ale. It comes in a 650 ml bottle with a red tractor on it. Very similar to Rogue's Dead Guy ale and at 9.5% gets ya there in a hurry. Although, like the Boulevard, $6.50 a bottle sucks. Also Picked up a sixer of Schlafley's Export IPA. It's a seasonal brew which really rocks! Similar to the dry hopped APA, but with a chitload more malt to really balance things out. The malt also bumps this bad boy up to 8% ABV but you don't notice it until it's too late. Hopefully by then you've already made your calls to Vida, Mariah and Salma! I think it was $7 for the sixer.
