Founder's Centennial IPA

When I went on a recent trip with some girlfriends to the States, my husband's last words to me were, "Buy me some beer."

So I did.

I ended up finding this beer - Founders Centennial IPA - in a Kmart. There were a few other craft beers, but as I was in Michigan, I wanted to get him a local beer. 

I had picked up one that looked OK, but only said "lager" on it. I knew he wouldn't be thrilled by that.

Then I found the Founders beer. Knowing it was an IPA, I figured it was more likely Jeff would appreciate this than the lager, so I made the switch.

I'm glad I did.

I brought it home and Jeff inspected it. Then he went to Beer Advocate, where we discovered it had a pretty darn good rating.

Jeff said the beer was good, hoppy - a really drinkable beer. 

"I wouldn't session it, though. It's too much alcohol," he said, noting it's 7.2%. "You can't drink lots of them. Or, at least, you'd get drunk (if you did)."

My one mistake was I gave two out of the six-pack away to my friend who drove (because her husband also enjoys craft beers and she refused to take gas money). Jeff has told me to never do this again.
