" . . . Sierra Nevada is creating a beer, Resilience IPA, in which every dime from its sales will go back to the people impacted by the Camp Fire. Brewery founder Ken Grossman wrote a letter, askin...

I'm a female in my late 40's, and I've been consuming beer - moderately to seldom - for most of my adult life. In the past 10 years, I've become a BIG fan of hoppy, citrusy IPA's (mostly craft b...

It is Pliny time again this year. Do any of you out there know of any Pliny The Younger kegs that will be offered in the East Bay?

Meeting someone who I bond with over hoppy IPAs, gin, and single malts. The booze is more important than the food, but it would be nice if they have good food too. Casual. East Village or LES.

This is the SO's IPA of choice at the moment in Portland. So far I've found it at The Lamplighter (!) but would love to track it down at an independent brew pub. Any leads, BeerHounds?

So, have some time in Los Angeles, let's try a couple highly-rated California pale ales... The candidates: AleSmith IPA Ballast Point Sculpin Actual tasting notes follow: BEER 1: Initially qu...

I've gotten this pour on an IPA in a Pilsner glass at Gordon Biersch (see photo). Is this the correct pour (head height, e.g.)? Why do I want the head on it? In pubs, I've always gotten the g...

I love the robust flavor of an IPA beer but most of them kick my butt (make me wasted, in 3 bottles). Recently I discovered two beers that I'm loving that have the flavor of a nice IPA but I can...

I have a long-running blind-tasting series on "imperial" IPAs, those with huge complex flavors and ABV well over 8%: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/992711 The problem of course is that you can...

What the heck is up with Lagunitas exactly? Was this for real? Why would they do this? Sure seems to have back fired on them. http://newschoolbeer.com/2015/01/lagunitas-brewing-sues-sierra-nevad...

I'm in Portland for a couple of days and was wondering if anyone has seen Lunch in any of the liquor stores in the area. I can't make it to the brewery but thought I might find it in a store. Thanks.

There's nothing like taking your wife to an appointment close to a great microbrew bar :) With an hour or so to kill I order sampler flights of 8 beers; a few I've had before (but not on tap), but...

Anyone tried this? Evidently it is a limited release deal, available until October. They had 12 packs at5 the local Randall's for 11.99, which was a great deal (also SNPA for the same). Normally...

Just finishing one of these 9.7% beauts that I found at the Wine & Cheese Cask in Somerville, MA. Anyone seen this in the NYC area?

Did a double take when I saw this at the store. Has anyone tried this? It was $12.99 for a 6 pack of cans, so the "value" when considering the low ABV is pretty poor...but having something really ...

This one is a good, hearty IPA with a full malt body and slightly reddish amber colour. It has a creamy mouthfeel, along with a complex and "juicy" malt profile. The hop complexity is remarkable in...

For a change of pace from my usual West Coast Style IPA, last night I had a bottle of Brooklyn East India Pale Ale. Said to be "English style," it was quite good and while not the usual hop bomb I ...

There is so much interest in India Pale Ale (IPA) so why have I never seen it featured with Indian food? Actually, I think it would be a pretty good match, much better than those (usually) lousy la...
