Served up the rest of that IPA I sent the SoCalians on Christmas. Evaporated mighty quickly (I helped).
IPA is an India Pale Ale. It's spiked pretty hard with hops, which doesn't affect the alcohol, but does prolong the shelf life. IPAs have a very spicy, hoppy taste (kind of like a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale). It's one of my favorites.
Glad the pig turned out well. Still waiting to see what the new year's menu will be. Starting to look like a couple of nice NY steaks accompanied by a Seghesio reserve zin. Baked potato for starch. Crown royal for the vegetable.
