Day 66: March 7, 2015
Diary entry:
Today was my niece’s Bat Mitzvah. Wow, can’t believe she’s already almost 13 years old!!!
Early morning wake-up for family photos followed by her service. That ended a little after noon. Which was very tempting to then run back to Iron Abbey, as they were doing a Russian River / Pliny the Younger tapping event, with Pliny the Elder, Supplication, and Damnation on tap as well!
Unfortunately, had to spend a little more time after the service with family, and them we ran over to check it out. Alas, by the time we got there around 1PM the Younger, Elder, and Supplication were all kicked. Ah well. Family first 🙂
Settled for Damnation, but had that one before, so had to go for a different, new beer at the Harry Potter-themed reception for the Beer of the Day.
The Beer:
Name: HopDevil
Style: American IPA
Producer: Victory Brewing Company
Alcohol content: 6.7%
Bottle size: 12 oz Bottle
Purchased from: My niece’s Bat Mitzvah
From Downingtown, PA, HopDevil by Victory Brewing Company is a Hoppy and Delicious IPA.
Commercial Description: Menacingly delicious, with the powerful, aromatic punch of whole flower American hops backed up by rich, German malts. HopDevil Ale offers a roller coaster ride of flavor, coasting to a smooth finish that satisfies fully.
