Give It A Shot – Alpine Beer Company Nelson Golden Rye IPA

This week the California Beer Train makes a stop in Alpine for what we have been told is one of the best brewers of IPAs.  The Alpine Beer Company opened its doors in the fall of 2002 and it didn’t take long for word to spread to local hop heads that this was a place not to be missed.  At the tasting table today we have one of their seasonal beers or as they like to say, “Beers we brew as often as we can, but not all the time”.  The Nelson Golden Rye IPA is named after the New Zealand hop, Nelson Sauvin, which is used throughout the brewing and dry-hopping process.  Time to taste and see if this beer lives up to all the hype we’re giving it.  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.
