Being an unabashed hophead myself, what foods do you eat with aggressive IPAs like the Stone Ruination? I'd love ideas...

I had a Big Ballard IPA at the Redhook brewery yesterday. It went very well with their Buffalo & Peppered Bacon Burger.

This was served with felalel. May sound wierd, but there is a little cayenne in the felafel mix, and it was served with a little minced jalapeno. The heat from the two peppers along with the melange of flavors from the felafel, tomato, onion, cucumber and yogurt dialed back the hop effect just enough for it to make sense. Like mneeley's experience, maybe the heat in the food had something to do with it??

Wings and IPA go together like peas and carrots.

La Chouape Blanche

A very very tasty white beer.

I'm liking this maker of the brew more and more

Dogfish Head Namaste

I keep coming back to Foret and Dupon Saison (same company) for my Belgians and Racer 5 for my everyday beer beer.

Been enjoying the heck out of the Dogfishhead 90 minutes, Old Rasputin Imperial Stout, and really liking the Sam Adams Imperial Stout.

Sticky2, the Dogfish Head 90 is out of this world good stuff!

Wittekerke Belgian white for me this evening.

Very malty though. Almost requires food. Especially with that ABV.

Dogfish Head-Bitch's Brew

Sapporo draft beer with sushi.
Clean, refreshing and satisfying.

Pacifico

Enjoying another Redhook ESB.

Last night at Crawl - new craft beer and wine bar in town -

All on tap:

Stone Ruination IPA
Stoudt's Double IPA
Rogue Chocolate Stout and Rasberry lambic concoction
Hazed and Confused Dry Hopped Ale

Stout and lambic sounds pretty interesting. How was it? Did you have it before or after the ruination destroyed your taste buds?

First of all, it was a free from the owner of the bar so that was awesome. It was delicious but too sweet for me. The small taste he gave us at first was great and sufficient. When he have us the entire pint after that, well it was too much.

Cold Stella’s at the club yesterday helped me get over a bad back 9.

Terrapin, Hopsecutioner IPA
Terrapin, Rye Pale Ale
Sweetwater, 420 Pale Ale
Sweetwater, IPA
Stone Pale Ale

Bell's Oberon.

Goose Island Pere Jacques and Sophie this past week. Dos Equis on Thursday.

I like your style. Where did you have these?

After ten days in Ireland, lots of Guinness, Murphys and Smithwicks - all of which are truly better over there...
