- Sofa sessions: the best East Coast/New England IPAs | The Craft Beer Channel
In our final instalment about our new obsession - east coast/New England IPAs - we taste some of the world's best IPAs right now. Heady Topper, Julius and Congress Street side by side...it doesn't get much better than that. But still, we had a clear favourite.

Remember to drink responsibly(ish) and not be that guy...
It’s so crazy how worldly famous Treehouse Brewing Company. I didn’t even know how big of a deal it was until about a couple of months ago. And it’s two towns over from me. Just became in love with their Alter Ego, Sap and Perfect Storm! So delicious!
Love that I live in Massachusetts and I can get everything in a Saturday road trip 🤗
Tree House is absolutely the best brewery in the US...bar none!
Treehouse is in Charlton Massachusetts. Even though its fairly rural its 15 minutes outside of Worcester.
Alot of people think Massachusetts ends at Framingham.
As someone who lives 5 min from Trillium and within 45 min of Treehouse, I am incredibly burnt out by the NEIPA style. I've found myself craving a more balanced BU:GU ratio in my beers with even a bit more in the maltiness direction. That being said, I can't deny how lucky I am to have these nearby and almost always readily availble.
Late reply here, but you should check out oxbow up in ME. They do more farmhouse style ales instead of NEIPAs. Also ME beer Co has great IPAs that are very refined west coast style IPAs
This video has aged really well, shone a light on NEIPAs before they became a thing in the UK brewing scene, good work guys.
DDH Congress St. is my favorite!
That is quite the line up, I am jealous.
It was a tough day...
This is great, really informative. Would love to hear you guys do a 2021 UK NEIPA fav selection.
Heading to Tree House this Saturday, and looks like Alter Ego will be on tap (we shall see). I had Green at Siptemberfest in Vermont (quite good), and hopefully some day will get some Julius. My favorite DIPA at the moment is Lawson's Sip of Sunshine from Warren, VT (contract brewed at Two Roads.) Lotsa a tropical fruits on the nose, and great balance of bitterness and malt. A lovely brew.
Did ya get any Julius?!
Oh yes! and luckily had three companions in tow (they marveled at the long line when we got there 15 minutes before opening.) So it was 6 cans of Julius, 4 cans of Sap per person, and they ran out of Ma before we reached the counter after an hour in line. The only shocking thing is they required photo ID to purchase, and my 60 year old self left it at home, but the 3 companions had theirs, whew! The Julius is transcendent, and well worth the wait, a melange of mango, fresh orange juice, tangerine, citrus dankiness on the nose and a resplendent, chewy mouth feel and a hoppy bite surprise on the back palate. I'm already ruing the day I'll run out (which is soon :-(
Yup treehouse is the real deal.
Iso: NE hops
Ft: Mexican cake
Heady Topper is always intriguing. Since it was the one that kinda started the NEIPA beer trend, which I love.. It still has hop bite for sure. Its juicy, its fruit and hazy, but its also plenty bitter and resiny.
Fast Forward a bit, and you've got some of the best examples of NEIPAs today, are straight fruit smoothies. So hazy they pour like Sunny D, so fruity it blows your mind when you find out they're not adding fruit extracts, and so mouth coatingly delicious that I honestly cant believe beer tastes like this.
I dont want to make it even harder to get.. but.. Industrial Arts brewing. Wrench NEIPA. Good lord. Its just a mango pineapple explosion. No. No its gross. Dont seek it out.
Found Wrench a few weeks ago. Definitely leave this one alone. I’ll drink it all so the rest of you dont have to suffer.
Orixa yep, absolutely gross. Totally avoid, spare yourself, well handle it from here
#TEAMGREEN!! I think Julius is amazing but I prefer Green, as I think its more on the tropical side of things, and Julius is more orange forward. I haven't tried much Trillium yet, but both Vicinity and Headroom were amazing, some of the best DIPA's I've had! They actually also just started canning their hoppy beer. Cool video guys, and your collab didn't sound too far off. Cheers!
Yeah I saw the canning news - exciting stuff! We haven't had the privilege of trying green but we're hoping to go back next year to visit Alchemist and Hill Farmstead so will definitely stop by again.
Hitting those 2 places later this summer. Alchemist should have their new brewery open by then!
there mosaic dry hopped fort point is well.... on point
I finally got around to going to Treehouse and they had cans of Very Green. This beer is unlike any I've had. It's amazing.
thefish21able Duuuude I am so envious. I'd love to try Very Green someday. Cheers!
Another amazing video guys good job
The Alchemist is bringing back many of the beers they started with before the flood. Tree House and Trillium are both making amazing beers too. The East Coast juice bombs are my favorite beers now.
it's a good time to be a hophead, that's for sure.
Awesome video! Glad you guys could try some of these crazy awesome NE style IPAs! Trillium, Tree House, Other Half, Tired Hands, Grimm, Hoof Hearted, etc are all making some great beers! I think as far as the NE style hoppy beers goes, my favorite by quite a bit is Trillium. Each and every one of their beers has blown me away. Not taking anything away from the other guys, but really love their stuff. Your collab beer sounds pretty damn good too man. Cheers!
cheers! We reviewed heavy Mettle next to some other DIPAs in a coming episode and that one just...it was just incredible.
Yes, Trillium is producing some incredible beers. Don't forget about Hill Farmstead either. Going to get me some double galaxy this weekend.
Some great east coast style IPAs coming out of Louisiana. Parish Brewing - Ghost in the Machine and Gnarly Barley - Juicifer. Try them out!
both STRONG beer names!
Gotta put Long Live Beerworks in Providence RI on your list. Unbelievable NEIPAs. They've really got it dialed in!
I know this was posted 4 years ago but I've just recently discovered NEIPA's. I haven't had the luxury of tasting those beers in that lineup although I'm so tempted to make the road trip to Tree House. But here in Maine we have a great selection on this style. Having said that I think that you really need to check out Finback's DDH NEIPA's. They are out of New York and are currently my absolute favorite brewery even with all the amazing local Maine brewery's. My second favorite has to be Other Half also out of New York. Must be something in the water in New York. But this is mostly due to the fact I can't get a hold of some of the top NEIPA's as they just don't make it here in Maine.
Love the video's and am glad I discovered this channel!
Hey Anthony - we have done lots of videos about Finback and Other Half (and indeed visiting them) if you give our channel a search. And you are spoilt for amazing NEIPA up in Maine - Bissell Bros being the most famous!
Me and my son were actually hugely inspired by your Gypsy Hill/Drifter brewing session, so we went ahead and re-engineered your recipe, using the same hops types (which by the way were completely unavailable in Denmark, but we managed to get them from Sweden instead). End result (Name: The Gypsy King, Fruity Summer Beer) was amazing and you should definitely taste it !! BUT, I am getting ready to brew batch #2 and now you say you will release your recipe 'early summer' - not good enough, we need it like right now in the next 3-4 days. I'd totally appreciate if you could pre-release it, so we can compare to what we did and maybe make some adjustments ;o) Greetings, Jens in Denmark
haha! Sorry man, we work too slow for you. Let me speak to the brewery and if they let me release it I'll post it here. They may want to wait though...
You drove up from philly and didn't hit tiredhands or otherhalf? Crazy good stuff from them as well.
+Dan Copper sure we did! Just not for this video. Check out our where to drink in philly vid.
Parish brewing is making Ghost in the machine that stacks up to these beers. They're in Louisiana. Check that beer out!
We'll look into it!
@@TheCraftBeerChannel Highly Recommend Ghost in the Machine. Especially if you get your hands on their DDH
This is really making me want to take a road trip up to Boston and Vermont this summer. Also, The Veil in Richmond, VA have some awesome IPAs worth checking out.
they're new to us. If we get to go back we'll track them down. Cheers for the tip!
I love craft brewing and trying other people's brews but I'm also old school. A style of beer is a style of beer and if that style requires a lot of IBUs and it doesn't then, it's just not cricket!
That said, I still want to try these beers because, well.... Beer!
We're a bit more loose in our styles. I'd rather people tried all the beers at the bar to find the right one than just ordered IPAs all night!
+The Craft Beer Channel don't get me wrong, I totally agree. I'll never stop trying or creating beers. I'm just a stickler for style guidelines. I actually think some new style guidelines should be made to accommodate all the new craft beers being experimented with.
I'm guessing the double dry hopped Congress St wasn't available at the time. It is easily one of their best offerings.
sadly not - it was sold out about a week before we arrived...
Can't wait to get back to the US to get back to these brewers!
trying a new england ipa right now like you suggested. It taste great a nice balance of all the flavors.
very little bitterness its very neat. u get that flavor without choking on that bitter flavor.
There are so many out there. Pretty much any brewery is making a ne ipa now. Come to Philly. The beer scene here is incredible.
We've been! ua-cam.com/video/GA6JOMiZhmE/v-deo.html
yeeessss homebrew vid!
I had Cloudwater DIPAv3 last night, which is in this style (I think) - the mango fruityness was immense. I wish more UK breweries were doing these as it's so different to other IPAs (in fact I think we need a new name altogether)
Probably, but then every brewery wants to put IPA on every beer because the word sells! I've heard of a couple of breweries lining up an east coast IPA so watch out as they come.
Megaaaaa! So jealous you have had these bro! They sound awesome. Great vid
Cheers man - got one more vid with some Trillium and one more vid with a Treehouse Milk stout then it's all gone. Sad times.
Wish I could find any of these around me
I've recently become obsessed with the East Coast or New England IPA. I've tried Trillium (haven't taken the drive to treehouse) and thoroughly enjoyed all their offerings but Mystic brewing in Chelsea, ma makes my favorite IPA. Danger!danger!
Haven't heard of them! We'll have to do some research.
The best-kept secret in New England. Rarely a line on weekdays and the beer is incredible.
Great video guys! I brewed a similar style beer recently which turned out awesome. In fact it was so good my last brew was an identical beer to see if I could achieve consistency. (I'll know in a week or so)
I'm using lots of simcoe and galaxy hops (one batch during fermentation) with an English yeast. As you say the fruit aromas and tastes are awesome. Looking forward to seeing your recipe.
cheers man! Galaxy is a great hop choice for this style. Hoping ours turns out as good as yours!
I'm hyped for the recipe, I'm planning to brew something like that and would love to take inspiration. Sadly in Toronto, there's not a whole lot of examples of that kind of beer, only the Redline Clutch and maybe the Burdock Vermont Pale Ale come close. Really Toronto is heading more for a southern Belgium farmhouse summer with a bit of Munich Helles on the side.
Hey well that's cool too! I'd kill for a good helles being made in London. Luckily we have Augustiner and Paulaner pretty widely available but I wish the Brits would get better at it.
Seems the homebrew recipe is a popular one so we'll get it live asap!
Epic beers, didn't get to try heady or Julius earlier this year when I went to Boston but had loads of trillium beers including Congress street, all delicious and had Tree house green which blew me and my brewer friends away!
Definitely check out Other Half Brewing beers from New York next time you go over. Trillium and Tree house are both incredible but for me Other Half was even better when I went to visit. They did a DIPA with Galaxy, Motueka and Wai-Iti hops, 8% and so incredibly juicy, tropical with just the right amount of dankness and bitterness. Probably top IPA of this year if not ever! Cheers!
We went to Other Half last summer! Filmed it for our Where to Drink In New York. They are brilliant brewers, spent a lot of time in that tiny taproom. Vid's here: ua-cam.com/video/mQuzdXlC9aw/v-deo.html
Oh sweet! Cheers
heady top is good shit man
Im jealous of The Brads hair.
Jonny is too...I mean...it's such unfair distribution.
my Crowler arrived yesterday.. I kind of want to and also dont want to open it.. sort of treasure it but I guess its best fresh. I also ordered some IHL from Camden after your review videos as well as the other Gipsy Hill and Cloud Water beers. I have to say my cans of IHL didnt really wow me with real hop forwardness. Maybe its not fresh enough, still a good beer though.
I couldnt wait for the homebrew video so made my own with (Pale, Oats, Cara Hell, acidulated malt) and used Equinox, El Dorado and Motueka (couldnt get Azaaca ) also with London yeast so I am hoping for something close to Drifter... fingers crossed.!!!
Let us know how it turns out! We're filming on Thursday and I don't think I've been more excited about a shoot in while! Shame about the IHL - hope the recipe hasn't changed since we last had it about 6 months ago.
You guys were in Philly and didn't go to Tired Hands! They make some fantastic IPAs, their milkshake IPAs are some of the best ive had for sure. Up there with Tree House and Trillium.
+Greg Saso oh but we did! Check out our video on where to drink in Philly! We went there, Monks and lots of lesser known great places!
Our fav style..
Head further east to Portland the bissel brothers brewery are making unbelievable beers in this style
yeah we missed out on these guys sadly. Next time we come over!
Next time you're in New England if you happen to be in Connecticut again. I'd recommend stopping down by the shore to Beer'd. Its a great brewery, one of Connecticut finest. Outer Lights is very good as well not far from there. If you guys head to treehouse again I could also recommend about a 25 min. drive through back country roads to Ellington, CT. There is a relatively new brewery there called Cold Creek and they're making some amazing beers. Their stouts and sours are fantastic. They're really making a name for themselves with their sours though.
+M Arsenault beer'd!? How weird. There's a British brewery called that too.
Also, we might be back end of next year so will look up Cold Creek!
awesome
I've tried Trillium, Maine, Treehouse, Alchemist, and to me, I'd put Treehouse first, Maine second, Trillium third and Alchemist last. I'm disappointed you haven't found out about Maine Brewing, their Dinner and Lunch beer are absolutely amazing. I like Alchemist but to me they're like Stone: good and properly done, but not "knock your socks off" with the frutiness and complexity that Treehouse brings. Treehouse and Maine are the freshest IPAs I know, alongside a fantastic Quebec brewery called Auval. If you don't know them, seek them out. They're usually only available in Gaspésie, a large peninsula East of the city of Québec, but their IPAs are just amazing for such a small and recent brewery... As for Trillium, I think they're better than Alchemist because they have a strong personality, they try a lot of stuff, and there's like a Trillium "taste", that slight lemon/lime finish in all their beers. Alchemist is doing the same beers over and over and they're incredibly hard to find, like Russian River. I don't like that.
+Nicolas Bertin haha - yeah they are tricky to find but it's down to philosophy and size. Those guys don't want to expand too far and prefer to be local. Trillium I think are a bit more ambitious - nothing wrong with either approach especially as great beer gets more prevalent around the world. We know Maine brewery too - didn't manage to get any packaged for the video though. Had some great beer by them too though.
You guy definitely need to make the trip to Pittsburgh PA next time your over here and check out dancing gnome and brew gentlemen. there making beers almost as good as treehouse. and there's also a ton of other local breweries to check out it would be hard to name them all
UnsocialEmu we'll add it to the list!
Oh how much european breweries have picked up that style and doing great!!!
Today I'm not gonna drink beer but,suddenly I have changed my mind,I'm going to get beer from super market now fuck yeah !!!
haha, glad we changed your mind!
Hiya CBC - Can't recommend Fresh Squeezed from Deschutes highly enough. Has fast become my go-to beer when I'm looking for citrusy, fruity IPAs. 10/10 recommended, if you've not already tried it.
We haven't - not much Deschutes makes it to us but we'll find it somewhere!
I really hope you do, as it's incredible. Sod it, if you can't find it - I'd me more than happy to send the pair of you a couple of bottles just for fun.
that would be much appreciated! And of course we'd reimburse!
Can do! If there's an email where we could talk this over more, let me know. :)
You guys have to try Alter Ego and a few others that are awesome Greater Goods Graylock IPA and Stone Cows Bono Loco both on par with Tree house in my opinion.
We've had Alter Ego and must enjoyed it! Will have to see if we can track those others down. Feel like another east coast road trip is in order...
Check out great notion in Portland, Or. Juice Box and Juice Jr., in particular, stand out as top notch east coast style ipas.
We'll give 'em a look!
One of these days I'll hit up the Northeastern U.S. and see what all the buzz is on about. One of the downsides of living in Hawai'i is that a lot of these delicious brews aren't easily accessible.
+Dakota Fisher yeah...but that's probably the only downside I'd imagine!
Well Ghost in the Machine is where it's at honestly
I very much enjoy your videos. Living in Norwich, Connecticut, I am surrounded by an embarrassment of riches in terms of world-class day-trip multiple brewery stops, and am an avid homebrewer as well (I’ve brewed 18 gallons of oat cream/ NEIPA/whateveryouwanttocallit in the last 30 days). I was curious whether you have any plans to cover the sour NEIPA trends like Hudson Valley?
An interesting one. Not really aware that it has become a trend! Are there lots of breweries making them in your part of the world then?
What is the best way to send you beer?
Heady!
Topper!
Have you tried any Sloop? It is the gold standard for NEIPA. Check out juice bomb and juice bomb DDH. Fishkill NY USA.
Well bloody heck. For one you are lucky bastards and I love you. Secondly I got some ideas as to how to shape my homebrew NE IPA attempts from this video (the oats are my biggest point of question right now). Surely will include them. Thirdly: Next time you come to Berlin I hope to have my homebrew production running to the point where I might convince you to give me some feedback as I give you beer. Also I know a guy who has this wonderful 100% Brett Pale Ale with Orange Zest that is amazeballs for a first batch. I will bugger him to brew a second batch and send you some cause I am sure you´d love it. Zesty Orval IPA Summerdrink to put it in general terms.
Sounds awesome. We get to Berlin quite a lot so we'll let you know when we do!
any reason you guys aren't using clean glasses for each beer? I'm about to try these ipas this weekend
+nyhiphopheadd BECAUSE WE ARE TERRIBLE PEOPLE. Seriously, we should have but we were having too much fun.
Hooker No Filter Bloomfield,CT deserves mention.
you guys gotta do the midwest next.
yes. Yes we do!
Hey Friends, Which Brewery is Better Beavertown X Cloudwater ? My cousin is coming back to Brazil and I asked her to bring to me a Couple Beers from England. I like IPAs very much, só I am thinking of these two Brewerys.
Can you advise me Up ?
Thankssss
Oooof, well both are world class so depends what you love! For NE IPA, lagers and sessions IPAS, Cloudwater. For West Coast styles and experiments, Beavertown. Get some of both, they are readily available in both Manchester and London.
I've been both enjoying and appreciating your channel lately. I live in Massachusetts, USA. Home of Trillium and Tree House and not too far from the Alchemist and Hill Farmstead. Lucky me. Please keep up the good work but PLEASE turn off or down the background digital "music "
It's annoying and distracting. It sometimes makes it difficult to hear what you are saying.
Have you guys tried Grimm IPA, Zap or Tesseract from Brooklyn?
+Nicci Cooper we've had a couple of grimm beers but never the ipas. Mostly sours. Hard to come by in the UK but we'll get some next time we're out in the US.
I've had the drifter and it is definitely a great beer! Any ideas on where i can get hold of the other beers in the video, in the uk?
Glad you liked it! Sadly none of these breweries ship to the UK. In fact they rarely ship out of the state, and Treehouse is only available in can from the brewery itself! Demand is crazy at the moment but once it dies down and the breweries expand the situation will improve...but maybe not so much it comes over the pond sadly.
thats a shame really as i bet they'd sell quite well here even if we had to pay slightly over the odds
Did you guys get to try any Hill Farmstead? I think they're the best beer in Vermont.
we've had a few beers in the past and been really impressed but they seem almost harder to come by than Heady!
I'll be at Tree House in just 2 weeks now! Do they release Julius often? I imagine their other beers are just as good, but I'll be so happy if I manage to get some Julius. Great video guys!
Best bet is to check their website and see what's on tap for the week. Note that they only release what they are canning the day of and that they only sell certain hours on certain days. I know they canned some Julius last week, and from what I observed, there is no real rhyme or reason to what they can and when they can it. More so just luck of the draw.
Yep - what Mark said! Julius is the most common beer so more likely to get that than anything but it's luck of the draw. Glad you liked the vid!
Definitely need to check out Troegs Brewing Co. if ever in Harrisburg/Hershey, PA area. Perpetual is a classic East Coast IPA (85 IBU, 7.5%). First Cut (seasonal) is a mild IPA with a focus on mango. Also a few solid Bocks and Stouts.
We drank some while in New York a year ago, really impressed but wanted to try more!
Not rinsing the glasses in between.............
So the drifter has come up quite clear in the crowler compared with the bottled stuff? Are you making more of this?? And are you gonna put it in a large can?! Because I would certainly buy it. A statement johnny - the beer merchant website isn't very good I don't think. Unfortunately most of the time I go to order- a lot of the beers are out of stock. And finally a question- the cloudwater DIPA v3 - will this be made again? It's impossible to find in pubs or in any quantity on the Internet. Thanks
Hey - the can had a bit of time to settle as it was upright and chilled in the fridge for about 2 weeks. More has been made and the crowler is in fact on Beer merchants! Speaking of which, the site is experiencing unprecedented demand at the moment so there's a lot of changes going on to keep up - stick with it!
DIPA 3 will never be made again sadly, but DIPA 4 and 5 come out soon. And 6 might become a permanent beer.
+The Craft Beer Channel nice! I love the drifter. Glad it's a permanent fixture. Cheers johnny and the brad
Do you think we will ever see these beers on the other side of the Atlantic, will Beermerchants get them?... although they seem to struggle to have good British beers in stock (Cloudwater DIPA I'm looking at you!!!!)
ah it's a tricky one. most of the demand for British beer in the US is for our traditional styles like bitters. You guys are so good at IPAs yourselves! I know some Siren and Cloudwater have made it across (the latter at Modern Times's dank festival) but otherwise I think it's just brewdog!
I meant will we ever get julius, topper etc over here lol.... I am happy to chip into a gofundme if you feel empowered to try!!!
haha. Well these guys are even trickier! Treehouse only sell from the brewery right now! Maybe one day, depending on whether they want to grow that far....
Lucky bastards! Do you finish all of precious beer after filming? Thats a lot of pokey beers!
We did. Surprisingly Jonny lasted longer than the Brad, but it took us both down in the end. We had to postpone of Imperial Stout sofa session to another day....
Best place to get some cans of Julius back here in the UK? Do I have to buy online?
Literally nowhere! You can only buy it straight from the brewery at the moment. Demand is so high they had to bring it all in house to control where it went. With their new brewery that will change but if it ever made it to the UK I was be shocked. Such a shame for us, but that's why we're hoping more brewers will make this style!
+The Craft Beer Channel No. Way. it's good to hear it's so popular, but a shame it's so far away! I'm a sucker for fruity beers, any other recommendations that might be a bit easier to get my hands on?
British-wise there's our beer with Gipsy Hill, any of the DIPAs by Cloudwater and some pales like Summer Wine Juice Facilitator, Pressure Drop Pale Fire, Beavertown Gamma... abroad you should get any Omnipollo IPA. One of those will sort you out! Lots of available from our partners beermerchants.com
Top. Great channel and great content as always!
cheers man!
This was when treehouse used to be good
We've been back a few times and not noticed a drop off?
And I apologise for being the 70th comment because 69 is just an inherently funny number.
You should try swish from Bissell brothers brewing in Portland Maine
We tried some delicious Bissel Brothers stuff but not enough when we were over!
Do you know when you're gonna release the recipe? Planning to brew something similar to take back to uni with me ;)
We're pencilled in to film week after next, so probably 3 weeks today. Should give you enough time, right?
+The Craft Beer Channel I think so yeah!!! Thanks a lot, love the channel :)
cheers man! We'll hurry it up if we can!
Hehe cheers - if it's any good I'll see if I can send you some...my first brew though so may not be 😂
we always love a good homebrew - maybe we could do a video of anyone's attempts at the recipe!
IMHO Focal Banger is better than Heddy.
I think you are right. Seen our mini doc on the brewery? ua-cam.com/video/x84OsiVaO9U/v-deo.html
music a bit to high cant listen to you properly.
didn't rinse glass in between sampling beers.... and you call yourselves beer snobs? :)
+TheTrashMan so uncouth. But we don't call ourselves snobs!
No Tampa beers? For shame!
Give us the tips, we'll look 'em up!
The most loved IPA in the area is Cigar City Brewing's Jai Alai (Hi Lie), then there's Coppertail's Free Dive, then Tampa Bay Brewing Company's Old Elephant Foot and Reef Donkey, and anything brewed by Angry Chair. Cheers.
I live in New England but Jai Alai is well known even up here, I'm sure many TH beers get traded by mail for Jai Alai often.
This tree house beer is going to be the death of me because I can't get it or I will have to drive 12 hours to get it.
Haha. Well luckily now there are thousands of breweries making this style (nearly) as well. Where you from?
The Craft Beer Channel Michigan, we have the m43 and boss tweed made by old nation. But the tree house beers just keep showing up on my Instagram. Cheers 🍻
Drives me crazy when people stir the beer, it makes it flat
Heady Topper is not even the best IPA made by the Alchemist IMO (Focal Banger)
I think you are right! Focal is our fav too
Gay men wear thumb rings mostly right ?
I have no idea, but if so, good for them. Jonny does too.
Julius? Better than Heady? Hahahahha. Ya- if you want a creamsicle instead of an IPA....
Had no idea what a creamsicle is. Googled it and now i want one.
The Craft Beer Channel - Go right ahead. I’ll have a real IPA. Heady .....
They are both real IPAs buddy. People have different tastes and people's taste change. Everyone's is valid.
The Craft Beer Channel - One is a beer that taste like a creamsicle. One is a legitimate IPA. Has Julius ever been number #1 in the world ? NEVER.
So there is only one legitimate IPA? If so it is currently Two Hearted by Bells. Not heady. Either way, the amazing variety in beer is what makes it the greatest drink on earth and makes being a beer drinker now so exciting. You want a juice bomb, have a Julius. You want a dank, resiny bitter ipa have a heady. You want a piny, citrus fresh ipa have a Two Hearted. They are all awesome.
