I tell myself that I wont chase another beer around the city. No more searching out places that are pouring Pliny the Elder or arriving ten minutes before a bar opens only to stand in line waiting for the chance to go elbow to elbow for Pliny the Younger. Nope you wont catch me doin' it again. Please who am I kidding? It's inevitable. If you live around Philly and love great beer you know it's just a matter of time until the next big thing swims up stream.
The big fish has arrived. Sculpin IPA from Ballast Point Brewing is scheduled for a big release this month. It will be interesting to see if this rare IPA can cause the hysteria that Russian River's Elder and Younger do. If hop heads snatching up bottles during it's PA arrival in early May is an indicator expect crowds when it hits the taps. A few places have already reeled it in on draft. How many fish references can I get out of this? Capone's did theirs over Memorial Day weekend (damn, missed it). No worries. Plenty more to catch.
