    Received: Deschutes Hop Henge

    The 2010 iteration of Deschutes Brewery’s Hop Henge Experimental IPA arrived today:

    Hop Henge

    The label looks the same as last year, and I checked for the presence of “Batch #” text on the site. (There was none.) I actually still have some bottles of 2009 Hop Henge in my stash; might be a fun vertical.

    This month’s Theme Week will be on… Cream Ales!

    Yes, you read that correctly: I have decided that this month, Theme Week is going to be Cream Ale Week.

    Why?

    Maybe it’s a rebellion against all the super-high-end beers coming out these days. (Ironically written as I drink an Anchor Old Foghorn Barleywine.) Or maybe it’s a way of easing back into session beers after the holidays. (See previous parenthetical comment.) Or—most likely—it’s just a style that has me interested right now, and I want to take some time exploring it more.

    Theme Week kicks off next Monday, the 18th.
