Beer: Eel River Brewing – IPA (Organic) 2009…
Ok…being that the warm weather is back in town (not that it’s ever really cold here) those good old ‘Park Jams’ are also in full effect. So, the first Sunday of each month we get to roll out to Long Beach and chill out inna community fashion with like-minded individuals that want to share food, listen to good music, and enjoy life. If you live within a reasonable distance to Ceasar Chavez park in Long Beach, CA, you should definitely plan to roll out to this event. It’s nice to chill out with a group of people that don’t bring beef to the party and instead focus on what’s important: having a good time. For this review, I brought my backpack cooler filled with ice and brews. I figured I could write a review while taking in some sun and solid music. Good idea. So, on to the beer:
This Eel River IPA is good. I guess readers are used to that reaction from me by now. When it comes to India Pale Ales, they’re almost always going to be a pleaser. This one isn’t heavy…as I’m drinking it, it’s warm outside and the sun is shining. That being said, this beer isn’t too thick to fit in nicely. I normally wouldn’t be drinking IPA during a sun filled day, but this Eel River is going down nicely. With its’ 7.25% alcohol content, it’s a little surprising that this goes down so smooth. To be honest, it might be a little too light for my tastes (as far as IPA’s go). Then again, this isn’t a $9 22oz., so it isn’t really fair to compare those type of ‘Imperials’ and ‘Doubles’ with a standard edition. Basically, for the price ($3.69), this is a very good beer that will keep the buds happy and the wallet fat. Plus…it’s certified organic, so you can feel good knowing you’re supporting some green shizzle. This one is available year round, so grab at your leisure. More info: Eel River IPA

While I like this beer, every time I drink it, I get a headache afterwords. I’m talking just one beer. Is this just me, or has anyone else had this problem?
Dang…that’s kinda strange. I cannot say the same for myself. Maybe I’ll have to grab a couple and specifically test this…hehehe.
