Hustle day today; need to get some things done before I can unwind for the evening. So let's get right down to business and keep the wheels turning on this beer adventure.
Today's beer is the Hop Hog, an IPA from Lancaster Brewing Company. Sure, when you think of Lancaster County, you think of Amish Farms, but you also need to keep this brewery in mind as well. The Hop Hog pours with a bright amber color and lingering white head. You find a nice citrus and hop aroma, and the taste has an even balance of malt and hops, with notes of lemon and hints of tea, with a nice dry, bitter finish. Great beer to pair with a pizza, which is what I did when drinking it post-basketball last week. Score. If you're looking for a nice, well balanced IPA that doesn't overdo the hops, grab a Hop Hog.
If you're ever in the space between Harrisburg and Philadelphia, you definitely need to visit this brewery, which has been in business since 1995. One of the best sampler pours I've ever seen - on par with the expansive sampler at Tommyknocker Brewing, although still trailing behind Russian River, which is the Holy Grail of huge sampler pours. Good food, too!
Thing To Think About Today:
Let's keep the music of the 90's humming along, and connect a little Hop Hog with a dose of Spacehog. It's time for In the Meantime:
