A British IPA. Kind of an oxymoron. While Britan may have their share of scary looking talent, they are the William Hung of hoppy beers. Historically I would think that British IPAs would be hoppy – after all the origin of the style itself would lead you to believe that the first IPAs were hopped to the extreme. Fortunately for us, we got all the hops after the revolution, shipped them out west, and today British IPAs are weak and blah.
That said, the Ridgeway IPA surprised me. Fresh hop flavor and a nice malty balance – very flavorful and drinkable (nay – poundable). Dry as a British sitcom and twice as enjoyable. I say cheeri-o.
They ARE hoppy. Just not the unbalanced overhopped IPAs we enjoy here (and I DO enjoy them, but let’s face it, some APAs are out of hand.)
Ridgeway IPA is one of my favorite IPAs. Not that easy to come by in the midwest.
Thanks it was delicious. First time I’ve had it on tap. So much better than the bottle.
Certainly a suprise beer recently for me, having had it on a number of occasions, it’s certainly a tasty tasty beer.

It’s my belief that mesothelioma is actually the most deadly cancer. It contains unusual traits. The more I really look at it the greater I am certain it does not act like a true solid flesh cancer. If mesothelioma is really a rogue viral infection, in that case there is the potential for developing a vaccine and also offering vaccination to asbestos exposed people who are really at high risk associated with developing potential asbestos connected malignancies. Thanks for revealing your ideas about this important ailment.
