Because Why Have One Side When You Can Be Overwhelmed by Two?
In the ever-escalating arms race that is the craft beer industry, where brewers vie for the title of "Hoppiest Concoction This Side of Jupiter," Greenport Harbor Brewing Company throws its hat into the ring with the Doubleside IPA. Yes, folks, it's double. Because in the world of craft beer, more is always more, especially when it comes to hops and names that suggest you're not just drinking a beer, but embarking on an epic journey.
The Doubleside IPA is not your garden-variety IPA. Oh no, this is a Double IPA, because why settle for subtlety when you can bludgeon your taste buds into submission? It's as if Greenport Harbor took one look at the IPA landscape, chuckled softly to themselves, and said, "Hold my beer... and then double it."
Let's dive into the vortex that is the Doubleside IPA. From the first sip, you're hit with a hop intensity that can only be described as "what I imagine licking a pine tree would taste like." But it's not just the hops that make this beer a heavyweight contender in the IPA smackdown; it's the audacious doubling down on everything that makes an IPA an IPA. More hops? Check. Higher alcohol content? You bet. A name that suggests duality, complexity, and a hint of existential angst? Absolutely.
But it's not all about the brute force of hops and alcohol. No, the Doubleside IPA also boasts a nuanced complexity, much like a heavyweight boxer who also enjoys ballet. It's crafted for those who appreciate the finer things in life, like discussing the merits of different hop varieties or debating whether this double IPA is more of a doppelganger or a binary star system in the constellation of craft beers.
Now, let's address the elephant in the room: the craft beer names. Doubleside IPA joins the ranks of beers with names that sound more like indie bands or experimental art projects. It's as if the brewers threw darts at a board of buzzwords and went with whatever combination sounded the most intriguing. But that's part of the charm. In a sea of craft beers vying for attention, having a name that sticks out is half the battle. And Doubleside IPA does just that, inviting you to ponder the duality of man, the nature of existence, or perhaps just what the heck to pair with such a robust beer.
In conclusion, the Doubleside IPA is Greenport Harbor Brewing Company's bold statement in a crowded room, a reminder that in the craft beer world, more is not just more—it's a reason for being. So here's to the Doubleside IPA, a beer that doesn't just ask you to taste it, but to experience it, contemplate it, and maybe, just maybe, write a slightly sarcastic blog post about it.
Cheers to the double life, where every sip is a reminder that when it comes to craft beer, the only limit is how far you're willing to push the envelope—and your liver's tolerance.
Cheers you, silly Bastards!
