Marin Brewing Company - IPA


I have never heard of Marin Brewing before or even seen their bottles in the store but apparently they have quite the rapport as the bottle is adorned with an unGodly amount of medals (even a few from the GABF). The price was right and I am always down for something new so I made it mine. This a just a straightforward run of the mill Pacific Northwest (kinda) IPA. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it, but it did not have that WOW factor like Blue Dot (a double), Brutal, Meantime, Blind Pig, or Boulevard (a double). I will probably pick this up again since it was only $4 for a 22oz but in this case "you get what you pay for" rings true. 4 out of 5. Drink it.

Not a single "fuck" or "retard" or "shit"? I know it's still the morning there and you're probably sleepy, but you're the one who picked up a beer!

I'll have to take a taste. I'm a big fan of ales...

I know...I am slacking over here!

Pearl, hopefully you can find it in that bottle shop you frequent over there! Did you ever find the Blue Dot?
