  • Torpedo, really? What do you like about it?
  • There's nothing not to like about Torpedo. It has such a unique hop characteristic including a big intense bitterness.
  • Fair enough, I know that a lot of people seem to like it, but as far as IPA's go, I found it to be quite artificial and boring.
  • Well it's a IPA so that's a plus right there. But it's smooth and very well balanced. A refreshing beer that makes for a great session beer.
  • It's starting off with a bang... January alone:

    FiftyFifty Imperial Eclipse
    Southampton IRS
    Bruery Oude Tart
    Avery Black Tot
    Ithaca LeBleu

    Hurray!!
  • Can't wait to see what this year has to offer!
