Give It A Shot – Lagunitas Brewery Hop Stoopid
Continuing with our American Double/Imperial IPA week we have the Hop Stoopid from Lagunitas Brewery. We have had many of their beers in the past either on the show or at various events with mixed results. Instead of using hop pellets or whole cones they chose to use hop extract and oils to get their 102 IBUs. This beer also comes in at 8% ABV and is unfortunately being tasted hot on the heels of the amazing Pliny the Elder we had earlier in the week. One thing this beers does have going for it is that the first words on the description label are lyrics to the Steely Dan song Kid Charlemagne. If you have any ideas for future episodes of "Give It A Shot" or just have a question, you can always send us an email to AboutBeverages@q.com.
