beer Being Crafty

The original west coast style that started the style... (arguably?)

 
Pretty good read: https://tomacitelli.com/2014/08/21/the-five-most-influential-american-born-ipas-of-all-time/
 
A site I like a lot, which I find inspiring to poke around before I make recipes: http://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/
I built the Mild XXX after reading some stuff about Mild's there, as a matter of fact ...
 
The X's are the  alcohol rating, which was how beers were taxed back then, over there ...

True.
 
I'll never forget my first sip of Arrogant Bastard.
 
Kept me away from beer for 3x more years.

This is what I meant and it appears they even have the tm.
 
"in terms of imprinting the style into people’s mind, Green Flash has been hugely influential—after all, it trademarked the term “West Coast IPA” and slapped it onto its labels in giant letters. It’s also widely considered one of the best examples of the style."

I found a 6 point Variety 12 pack. Has two I never tried before, the Crisp and Sweetaction..

I happen to enjoy Green Flash's hoppy beers, so I have no personal argument with that ...
 
My smallest glassware is from them, which I use often when sampling my beer, and also - my favorite tulip glassware is from them ... the Cellar 3 G/W ...
 
They make a pretty cool stout, too ... the double-stout ...

Love that pack, and REALLY love Crisp ...

I didn't like the GF-WCS too much but I'd try it again...
