This is a follow up to the previous episode and features my fellow beer hunter, Chris. Two opinions are better than one, so here is another take on the same beer. This isn’t meant as a full-fledged review but as a way to feature a different palate than mine and give you a fullerer (new word!) perspective on the beer.

Not All IBUs Taste the Same
Here is a great article from Bear Flavored for the beer curious, hop heads and homebrewers alike. If you’ve ever wondered why two beers with the exact same IBUs can have wildly varying levels of bitterness or just want to know more about the art of hops, this is a great read.
Parkway Brewery – Get Bent IPA Review
All You Need to Know
Brewery: Parkway Brewing
Style: IPA
ABV: 7.2%
Cost: $1.86 (12 oz)
Glassware: Tulip
Serving Temp: 55°
Availability: Year Round
Purchased@: Shenadoah Hops
Quick Take: This IPA seems to be out of balance. If you like your IPAs with a malty caramel wallop followed by a rippy and earthy thud of hops, seek this one out. I’m sure there will be plenty of people that enjoy what this beer has to offer, but I’m not really one of them.
A Different Kind of Beer Blog
It’s my goal through this blog to not only review beers from around the world, but talk about the bars, bottle shops, and the people in and around the Lancaster PA area that make this such a kick-ass beer scene. I plan on sharing and talking about all the places I love to visit, the great beers and breweries I try on the way, and the most anticipated annual beer releases. Pretty much anything I’m excited about as a practicing beer hunter. I’m always on a quest to find rare, hard to find beers and the local diamonds in the rough. This also means I’m always open for suggestions of new beers to try or places to visit, so post your recommendations!
Episode 9 – Stone – Grapefruit Slam IPA
Episode 9 of Drew’s Brews Reviews is here! The beer review show you never knew you wanted and no one needs. I slam down a beer that you’ve probably already had a few months ago! This is my first ep back after a lengthy illness and taking some time off to develop a Drew’s Brews Reviews Web site, but damn if I’m not ready to get slammed again. This time, instead of hops, it’s Stone’s Grapefruit Slam IPA that crushes my palate. Yeah, it’s another Stone but they seem to release a brand new beer a week and they’re cheap. Anyway, this is part of Stone’s new Stochasticity Project and I look forward to whatever they come up with for the next release.
