I have never even heard of Silver Moon Brewing so when I saw the bottle in the store I was taken aback. I did some internet sleuthing and it turns out they are just a pub that happened to start a brewery in 2005. Their core beers are pretty basic and they have a small selection of seasonals but nothing truly unique. All I know is that this 9% imperial IPA is the bomb. It is one of the best imperial IPAs I have ever had at this ABV. I would like to see them distribute the shit out of their beer. Why have I not seen you in Portland before? We are only three hours away, dumbasses! If you can pull off a style this difficult and make it palatable to a person who can't take anything over 6.5% ABV (my woman), you can assuredly do more. Good luck Silver Moon. Don't make me eat my words. 4.75 out of 5. Drink it.

Silver Moon Brewing - Hoptagon

Open your eyes, C. Asshole! They've been in bottle shops all over town for a year or more. Hell, they've even been on tap and in bottles at the Green Dragon off and on, which is a little odd because Lolo, one of the Green Dragon principals pissed off about the Rogue buyout, is now a brewer at Silver Moon.
I had a Hoptagon last night, and I agree, good stuff.
Green Dragon? That's why I have never seen it.
Didn't notice it at the usual suspects. Found it at an odd place.
One of the biggest problems about appreciating a fine beer is that usually all the good shit is hidden away in some small shitty town. It would be really cool to have some type of beer delivery service, almost like Netflix, where one would be able to try out just about any beer and not have to leave the house.
That one sounds awesome. DIPA is one of my favorite styles.
Portland has more breweries than any other city in the world. No problem here.
It was surprisingly good. A lot of people fuck it up.
