FW: Best American IPA Competition at Deland Craft Beer Fest, Feb 2011
Michael Theobald
Passing this great Florida brewing challenge on to ECHO family and friends.
Great opportunity to show off your best American IPA and plenty of time to get this on your brew calendar for February. I’m thinking about an Imperial Mash-Hopped American IPA, with more citrus than a Florida grapefruit stand. J
Semper Fermentis!
