It had been a while since the Insider pulled up a stool at the Red Blazer Peanut Pub.
So last week, we took a little time at the end of a work day to see what “The Blazer” had on tap. Purely in the name of Insider Tasty Brew science, of course.
And with more than 30 tapped brews to choose from, it’s not an easy decision. Like we’ve said in the past, we like hops and we only assume a large percentage of you do too. So if we see an IPA we haven’t tried, chances are that’s what we’ll order.
So Blue Point Brewing Company’s Hoptical Illusion it was. We had seen it in the store a few times, but never grabbed it out of the cooler. Now we’re wondering why it took so long.
Because our fresh 16-ounce pint sure was tasty on this warm day. It had a dark color to it and that first smell made us want to investigate further.
It may not have been as hoppy as we expected, with a 7.0 alcohol by volume content and all, but it had a good flavor and one we enjoyed until the very last sip.
And the obvious question you probably have is, ‘Would we have drank another one?” Absolutely, just when we’re not on official Insider business.
But we have to be responsible. We enjoy our tasty brews and don’t want to have the plug pulled.
