Pugilists IPA

           
In this corner weighing in at 180 pounds, the congressman from Minnesota, and propagator of provocative proclamations,  Andrew Volstead. His trainer, Carrie Nation, appears to be sharpening her hatchet, this could be a heated exchange,

And in the other corner, weighing in at 10 gallons, a dark amber complexion, full body, and a bitter disposition is the newcomer: Talisheek Brewing's very own Pugilists IPA! With 20 ounces of hops, twice dry hopped, this introductory IPA is coming out swinging. 

It appears the early rounds went to the the congressman with a series of devastating blows, but back on their feet, these craft brewers have proponents of prohibition and on the ropes with a solid rap on the Jack Johnson.

Now they prepare for their next opponent, a Goliath that produces overly carbonated  pale water that is marketed as beer. For shame, this behemoth brew is not suitable to use as dog water, let alone to quench a respectable gentleman's palate. So, onward you home-brewers, onward you micro-brewers, The word must go forth, that we are at last liberated from mediocrity, from thin pale tasteless libations and astronomical advertizing budgets. Raise your eyes aloft! Any man can brew a better beer, and there on the horizon is Pugilists IPA to deliver the knockout blow!

 

Of course the recipe is posted on our Hopville page, just saunter on over and enjoy.

UPDATE!


By way of an update, the ESB is fermenting nicely, and should be on tap soon. At next weeks MKOB meeting, Chad will be presenting Talisheek Sweet Tater' Stout for its inaugural showcase.  I for one cannot wait to try it, I believe this special reserve brew will be one that will pop it's head up again soon. But in the mean time we await the unveiling of the Extra Strong Bitter,  and next weekend we will be tackling an Imperial IPA that will be sure leave a mark on your face buds.
