The Sierra Nevada brewery has brewed a double IPA strong enough to strip the paint off your car, so you wouldn’t want to bring it to a tailgate party unless you were drinking it out of the trunk of a car belonging to somebody you didn’t care much about keeping as a friend, but for just about any other celebratory occasion, such as a long Memorial Day weekend featuring barbecued weenies on the grill, or any hot, summer day when flipping burgers figures into your plans, this would be ideal. It’s not a beer you should guzzle, leaving it out of the class of summer “lawnmower beers.” I think you should sip it a little at a time, then sit and gaze into the sky for several minutes between tastes, wondering how we ever lucked on to the magic that is beer, but even though I’m a lightweight in a world of chuggers I would urge you to take your time and savor this lovely little pale ale. Look for the “Brew Camp” label.
