But it's branded as an APA. You aren't wrong, but Andrew says it's a hoppy APA so that's what it is.

I assume Andrew will dial it in within the next 6 months.
are you saying they are only half adding it over there? You are setting the bar way too high for yourself.

I'd argue Envie v2.0 could be an IPA.


I do wish Parish would do a batch of Envie ramped up to about 6.5-7.0 ABV.

Especially in relation to other local offerings. There isn't a good single IPA in the state. Opus is the best.[


Brightside?

Urban South's Holy roller is not bad.

Good call, I'd already forgotten about Brightside.

Holy Roller isn't good.

Tried a double dry hopped Holy Roller at Nola on Tap. It was legit.

On another note, Urban South brewed a single called Citralicious.....it was probably the best single I've had. It was only a small batch and won't be brewed again anytime soon. Not relevant, but worth the mention.

FWIW Courtyard Brewery has nailed down a single IPA called Sonic Youth of 1983.... very good. Better than Opus and almost as good as Brightside.

My point, there are really good single IPA's being brewed here.

No package no care. At least for the purposes of this discussion.

So because they aren't packaged means there aren't any single IPA's in the state?

My friend makes a kickass IPA in his garage. Does that count?

If you can't buy it, how can it be a point of conversation?

I thought Brightside was excellent. I hope they produce it like that consistently.

I thought it was decent. Better than their Holy Roller for damn sure. Opus is way better IMO.

frick Scott.

He's a friend and I love the guy, but it's apples and oranges. Now, if he works it out so they can self-distribute, we have a different conversation. But right now Scott and his business is more on line with Old Rail. Is anyone calling Coalescense the best IPA in the state?

Actually some are, but that shite is too damn sweet. And you can't buy it easily.

Stop being a dick. You know what I mean. Draft only doesn't qualify you for this discussion. And growler fills are draft only. If it were 4/6 packs that were brewery only, fine. That counts. But it needs to be packaged.

It's OK, not great but if I had my choice between that and Jackimo I know what I would choose.

Parish is out of bottled Opus but has some on draft, that must mean Brightside is hands down the best single IPA in Louisiana.

Are you stupid or just trying to be obtuse? You are aware that a beer that is bottled and previously has been available at the brewery as well as in distro is not the same as a beer that has never been packaged in any way, right?
