from stone: Our Favorite Overseas-Inspired  IPA Returns! You may recall the herbaceous, bitingly hoppy fund-raising IPA we brewed four years ago to help provide relief for Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims. And if you do, we know you loved it every bit as much as we did. We originally brewed Baird/Ishii/Stone Japanese Green Tea IPA  with our friends Toshi Ishii, owner of Ishii Brewing Co. in Guam, and Bryan Baird of Japan's Baird Brewing Company , and we couldn't be happier to announce that it's back with the original crew on board. The recipe has been updated slightly, using a new Australian hop variety, Helga, in place of 2011's New Zealand Pacifica hops, but the 2015 version is still packed with all of the unique flavor combinations that you loved the first time around. This spectacular, tea-infused IPA will set sail beginning Monday, January 12. You can prepare for its arrival by watching the new video  and reading up on the tast...

last night i needed nachos it was imperative that i have some and who does better nachos on the drive than st. augustine's? no one! and what goes down better with nachos than ipa? nothing! so i had a tin whistle scorpion double ipa for double the fun 8% - "loaded with citra hops and a huge malt backbone. brewed in small batches" they weren't kidding about that huge malt backbone it was teetering awfully close to the 'too much' precipice i could have used a little less but then i do like my ipas bitter(er) darker in colour, dense head, clear as the day is long its a fine beer for sure its not going to crack my top ten list though and... i'll be making a brief appearance at st. augustine's again this evening its the beerthirst half pints re-launch in bc i hear there will be swag as well as good beer!

last night's cask at the yaletown brewpub was nagila pale ale dry-hopped with citra it wasn't very carbonated but damn, citra hops are delicious! the brick and beam ipa currently on tap is half centennial and half citra i filled my growler...

last night's central city white tea and orange peel ale cask at the railway club was fabulous! i wasn't getting the usual bitterness of orange peel, but it was definitely citrusy and the white tea gave it a fuller flavour spectrum than just malts and hops there was a whole lot going on in that beer yup, it was a winner! last thursday's cask at the yaletown was their nagila pale ale dry-hopped with spalt it was very drinkable i couldn't get over the colour of it though - so yellow! i was assured by both iain and nick that it was the same colour as the regular nagila pale ale, but i remain sceptical (of course i could have ordered a pale ale and done colour comparison, but i had other beers to try, you know!) see what i mean??? that ain't a pale ale - that's yellow! the seasonal at the yaletown is currently the raspberry wheat i am not the biggest wheat ale fan... but i love this one so fruity and pink and deliciously refreshing! and last,...

the cask last night at the railway was a foamy one! central city's dark days of spring with citra hops was a tasty one! not too sure what the base beer was for this one as it wasn't any darker than an ipa... but it did have a little something in there that no one i was with could identify

i'm not gonna lie to you, i am not a fan of snow it looks pretty on the mountains but i really prefer that it just stays there! one thing i am a fan of is the citra hop! deliciously tart and tangy and citrusy - oh my! the central city red racer esb cask, double dry-hopped with citra, did not disappoint last night at the railway club i wished i had more time so i coulda had another but really, just the one was delectable and delightful and knocked me on my ass a little bit!

i am very excited to try this cask in t-minus one hour!! It's Rail Ale Tuesday at the The Railway Club - they'll tap a cask of Red Racer Beer double dry-hopped ESB at 5pm! 5 1/2 weeks on Citra hops = yum.

the cask on tuesday night at the railway club was divine! r&b outdid themselves with a delightfully drinkable salted lemon citra ipa all of my friends loved it even the non-ipa-ers among them
