Black IPAs have already made their “comeback” and are moments away from hibernating again.
If you have a BIPA in the tank, cool. It’ll be fine. But don’t get too crazy.
I only mention it because I’m observing a lot of buzz from people just now figuring out Black IPAs have come back, and are acting like they are a permanent thing.
Learn from history, my children, they are not BACK back.
I think BIPAs can stick around. But only by just being released during Black IPA Season.
What is Black IPA Season?
What’s that you say? You didn’t know there was a BIPA Season? Well there isn’t one. But we are making one, right here, today.
January 1st – March 30th. I declare this to be Black IPA/Cascadian Dark Ale Season, forever and more and stuff.
Yeah but there’s nothing worse than an old IPA, especially a hazy.
I currently have the space for them. They may not taste good but they are still beer. And I don’t have an infinite beer budget and sometimes run out BUT still really want a beer.
And sometimes a dude will show up and just want beer and not care how old they are.
Well, I guess I’ll keep them around then. Since I have the space for them at the moment.
Glad I worked that “problem” out here.
If I only live bed in a place that snowed and I needed to save parking spots, my problem would be solved here:
For those that like alternative beer-merch, Modern Times Brewing has a $20 pack of artful playing cards for you.
Fridge Check As beer drinkers, we like to show off our beer fridges. I used to do a Fridge Friday on Twitter and Instagram. I’d post pics of my beer fridge. But my fridge has been too lame to show off.
I really loved the “Other Music” documentary. I watched on Prime Video (or whatever it’s called), I think it may be available on other platforms.
I found a lot of parallels between a beloved record shop and a brewery/taproom. The way they are both community centers of that scene.
Plus, if you watch closely you’ll see one of the owners is a Dogfish Head fan.

Didn’t want to leave y’all waiting too long. Final map!! 3014.64 miles in 58 days (6 rest days, 62 riding days). Thanks for following along. pic.twitter.com/EhDRDKPNHd
Aaron from Austin Beer Guide, first rode down every street in Austin and now he has trekked his bike along the state lines to creat that map. Just thought it was cool.
Cheers, Aaron!
Oh, and cheers to YOU! Thanks for the read. (Sorry it was a little light this week) I really appreciate the shares and love.
Be safe out there!
