Jeff had a good day at work and, well, who needs a reason to enjoy good beer.We're at the Wooly tonight where Jeff is trying Mean Hoperator - a collaboration between the Wooly and Great Lakes.
Jeff's first reaction: "This is really good."
Friday update: I just realized the photo for this one is really crappy (I'm blogging as we drink, so using my phone's camera, which isn't the best) - so here's what that actually says, in case you can't read it:
Mean Hoperator 2X IPA 7.6%
This collaboration beer was brewed by Ben (Wooly) and Mike Lackey of Great Lakes Brewing Co. We made 11 hop additions during the brewing process while aiming for a beer that will be delightful to many and offensive to others ... 7.6% and 84 UBUs, the Mean Hoperator is intended for people who love to explore the complexity of big beers.
Jeff - a hop head - loved this beer. I took one sip of it and knew it would never be for me - it was just too much.
That same night, Jeff did a "flight" of the other beers offered up by Great Lakes as part of OCBWeek - leaving out the Devil's Pale Ale (which he's had a number of times). The Canucklehead, Lake Effect IPA and Crazy Canuck all seemed to hit the spot.
