These days we hear so much about the US craft brewing industry, the number of breweries and the mind-blowing quality of their beers.
While there are certainly jewels in the US crown, the torrent of beers washing up on our shores hasn't always lived up to the hype. But, in our quest to let no stone go unturned, our next Hump Day gives the US another crack with a selection of beers from San Diego's Coronado Brewing.
From my first sample of the beers, the Hoppy Daze Begian IPA, this is a brewery well-worth introducing to a Hump Day crowd, with maybe even a little gushy praise thrown in...we'll see!
So, Hump Day will feature five beers from Coronado Brewing Company to see if they will all live up to that first sample. We will be sampling a cross section of styles from Coronado, all newly arrived:
- Golden Pilser
- Mermaid's Red
- Islander IPA
- Hoppy Days Belgian IPA
- Blue Bridge Coffee Stout
The usual deal: sample five interesting and flavoursome beers with Matt, all while enjoying great company, light nibbles and getting over that mid-week hump. Tickets are limited, get in quick!
