On Tap tonight at Tavernertavern: Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye Ale

[Taverner]

A raucous Imperial IPA, set at 8%, and fully hopped (with a dual injection system, they say) and then using rye malt to give it a hoppy, VERY bitter high octane punch.

1. That's one of my VERY VERY VERY favorite beers

VERY strong beer, and actually a bit of an aperitif. It's what I want to drink when my tummy's feeling off.

2. It's a very yummy beer

Assault on the palate!

My only complaint is that I can't sit around and drink this all day

3. The only beer the kicks my ass more than that one....

Is Lagunitas' limited edition Sirius cream ale. It's the only beer that's ever given me a hangover. But it's delish.

4. Hmmm...even the highest alkie craft brews don't give me hangovers...

But Bud and Coors do every time...
