This week we try an awesome, yet experimental beer from Matt, his “Gruesome Twosome IPA”, which is a tribute to the classic West Coast style IPA with a bit of a twist… Jalapeños!
We learn that jalapeños can in fact, be too much of a good thing, Jason isn’t robotic, it’s fun to say “Simcoe-Amarillo”, Matt likes hot whirlpools, and Rush should write a song called “The Spirit of Hop”. Enjoy!
