Beer Share Comments: Pliny the Elder by @russianriverbrewingofficial Windsor, California (Double Imperial IPA) 8.1% ABV  100 IBU ~ ME: One of the best IPA’s in California.
THEM:  PLINY THE ELDER - (Double IPA) Brewed with Amarillo, Centennial, CTZ, Cascade, Warrior, and Simcoe hops. Well-balanced with malt, hops, and alcohol. Slightly bitter with aromas of citrus, pine, and floral. @russianriverbrewingofficial #plinytheelder #beershare

Beer Share Comments: Skeleton Bay by @coronadobrewing San Diego, California (American IPA) 6.5% ABV  55 IBU ~ ME: Picked this awesome IPA up @traderjoes  I gotta say… Trader Joe’s is a wonderful place. The vibe in there is always so cool, smiles everywhere (even during the holidays). Good Job Trader Joe’s. (TJ Hint: If you want one beer, pull from the 4 packs. I’ve gotten a few old ones in the singles) THEM: Skeleton Bay IPA is a limited-edition fresh hop IPA. What might be the largest canned fresh hop release by a Southern California brewery to date, the team at Coronado packaged over 300 barrels using 2000 total lbs. of Citra and Simcoe hops from Oasis Farms in the Yakima Valley.
To extract the full potential of the fresh hops, we transfer hot wort onto the hops, allowing flavors, oils, and aromas to infuse into the beer. We then enhance the aromatics even further using YCH Simcoe “Dynaboost” hop oil in the whirlpool before dry hopping with an additional round of Simcoe. The result is an IPA bursting with fresh hop character, best enjoyed as soon as possible to experience the magic of these once-a-year hops! @coronadobrewing @traderjoes #skeletonbayipa #beershare

Beer Share Comments: Endless Shoreline by @pizzaportbrewingco Carlsbad, California (American IPA) 7.0% ABV  65 IBU ~ ME: Showing off my souvenir from the Depeche Mode Convention. The little things THEM: Endless Shoreline IPA captures the essence of sun-soaked days with a refreshing burst of earthy tangelo and bright Meyer lemon. Brewed with Riwaka, Waimea, NZ Cascade, Crystal, & Columbus hops - the mid-palate reveals a tropical blend of sweet citrus, lush mango, and juicy papaya, transporting you to a beachside paradise. The finish is dry and crisp, leaving behind subtle hints of peppery lemongrass and a touch of slightly sticky resin. Just like the shoreline that stretches beyond the horizon, this IPA offers an experience that feels endless with every sip. @pizzaportbrewingco #endlessshorelineipa #depechemodeconvention #depechemodegeek #beershare
