More than 15 years ago now, my mom picked up a fellow sailor at the Columbia Yacht Club in Chicago. His name is Harold, and they’ve been tacking together ever since.
Harold’s a beer guy, so he’s a proud supporter of this site, and the craft beer scene in general. We’re both aficionados of Raging Bitch, so when he saw a great case sale at Wegman’s featuring that great IPA and its ilk, he put together a mixed case for me as an early birthday present. Thanks, H! Here they are, in all their glory…
-
- The benchmark Two-Hearted Ale plus the Founder’s All Day IPA, a session at 4.7% abv, light and mildly bitter
-
- The original Fat Tire plus the Belgian White version, and the Abbey Dubbel rich with coffee & cream & maple syrup
-
- Strangeways’ Uberlin Berliner Weisse lemony sour wheat, plus Legend’s American Brown Ale with molasses, and Devil’s Backbone’s Eight Point IPA with fresh mown hay on the nose
-
- The three include the famous Raging Bitch, the Tropical Bitch, and the Numero Uno
-
- Hints of mango to go in my classic, well-loved Fat Tire pint glass
-
- Hibiscus forward IPA from Troegs at 6.2% abv with zest on the palate
