Russian River Brewing Co. “Blind Pig IPA”…

September 26th, 2008 | Category: Drinks

russian river brewing co. - blind pig I.P.A.Mmmm…hadda take two sips before I could actually start typing. This is another ale to keep in the ‘will buy again’ category. I was introduced to this one by one of the beer fanatics over at Hi-Time Wine Cellars the other day…and what better occasion to crack this open than the evening of my blogs’ one year birfday? The color on this bad bwoy is a nice golden hue, with some substance that gives it a bit of a cloudy look. None of those things being bad. Being an I.P.A., this has got plenty of that expected hop flavor…as well as a decent alcohol content (6.10%). It is definitely smooth, and leaves a nice aftertaste. This is light enough to enjoy after a meal without giving you that feeling of ‘drinking a meal on top of the meal you just ate’, any yet heavy enough to remind you that you’re drinking a ‘real’ beer. Since this is brewed year round, you should be able to find this at a watering hole nearby, provided your watering hole has good taste and is within shipping distance…hehehe. Here’s some info from the bottle:
Ask for a “blind pig” in a saloon during prohibition and you might get a beer… During prohibition, using the term “blind pig” discretely meant many different things. Sometimes it was the secret code given to a bartender to receive a beer. In other places, it meant that you paid a small fee to see a “blind pig”, and along with the viewing you’d get a beer, or something else… And What type of glassware would your “blind pig” be served in? an unmarked mason jar of course. In those days, a mason jar was known as a pig, and an unmarked mason jar was known as a Blind Pig.
Us the term discretely today and you’ll get a Russian River’s Blind Pig IPA, a bold IPA packed full of hop aroma, flavor, and bitterness. Please keep Blind Pig IPA refrigerated and consume fresh to experience the immense hop character. Unlike many of our other beers, Blind Pig IPA is not meant to be aged.

Word up…grab yourself one and enjoy,
