Shipyard Monkey Fist IPA

        Shipyard Monkey Fist IPA was poured into my favorite tulip glass as of late, made by Unibroue. The beer poured an excellent amber color and displayed a thin, light tan/almost white head of foam that laced the glass. The nose displayed a lovely, sweet-biscuit aroma, balanced with a floral hop aroma.  

     There is a quick burst of intense hops up front, that pans out across the mouth and flows to the top of the mouth, leaving the palate with a fresh biscuit taste, layered with fruit.

     Shipyard Monkey Fist is an absolutely excellent American IPA, which is very sessionable at 6.9% abv. The balance of the hops, fruit and biscuit flavors make this IPA an easy-drinking and very accessible IPA. I would recommned Monkey Fist and would definitely purchase this IPA again.  

A World of New

Hello!

Yes, I am alive! Haha, how is everyone out there?

Soooo....

Much has changed in my life in the past few months (ALL for the better)!

    I have a new job working at Northeast Beverage as a Territory Sales Representative, which distributes a wealth of excellent products such as Stone Brewing Co., Rogue, and Smuttynose among a few of the many breweries in their excellent craft portfolio. They also distribute a vast and diverse portfolio of bourbons, vodka, mead, tequila and tons of non-alcoholic juices and waters. But more about the job in a later post!

   I got engaged to the most amazing, homebrewing assistant in the world,

my lovely Fiance Laura...


We were blessed with the coolest, cutest little guy I know:
