Hopefully there's still some in the keg tomorrow evening. Also your not the only one who's noticed the IPA craze in supermarkets. Lets just say there are other beer lovers who aren't happy :) Just noticed the TG on the twitter tap list. Hopefully there’s still some in the keg tomorrow evening.

Venti's Cafe, 11a to 11p weekdays, have Terminal Gravity's Extra Special Golden on tap. TG's ESB is a refreshing rye session beer with a crisp, light finish. I enjoyed a pint tonight; soft, soft mouth feel / understated citrus and 'earthy' aroma and taste / very mild. A welcome beer for a hot summer's night. Seems to me, IPAs, 2X IPAs, 3X IPAs, Imperial IPAs, IBUs in excess of 100, are over represented in the Pacific NW market. I was in Whole Foods Market, Bridgeport, this noon. I conducted a casual survey. I counted the number of pilsner beer among all the USofA beer sold there and of more than 150 different beers there were only 4 pilsners. I am not saying WFM is a representative beer store; but, I think the paltry number of pilsners speak volumes. Hot weather calls for a lighter beer.
