On Saturday, to prepare for a potentially (and quite actually) awful short film program, Stoudt's Double IPA. The Stoudt's was good, but a pretty typical double IPA: thick, strong hoppy. Hard to drink more than one of these -- like the Dogfish 90.
The Stoudt's was followed by a Captain Lawrence Reserve Imperial IPA, which was even more drinkable. While still a double IPA, and thus quite hoppy, the texture was light. Very good, I've gone back for many more since. The Captain is proving to be quite a reliable brewery these days.
Also had a Bear Republic Hot Rod Rye, always a pleasure, before heading off to the shorts. Consoled myself afterwards with a Kwak (on draft! with the proper glass!) and a very, very fresh Six Point Bengali Tiger. I've gotten wary of the Bengali after having it on cask all over town, and seeing it linger on draft in bars that don't cater to the beer crowd, but fresh on draft it was phenomenal. One of my favorite IPAs.
