In case you don’t get all this blog’s comments via RSS…here’s what I just posted as a comment about the winners at the Bistro Double IPA fest today:
I’ve been at another Beer Week event and didn’t want to attempt posting anything with my cel phone — even if it is an iphone, which I just broke down and bought,
The winner was: Pizza Port/Carlsbad. The beer was Poormans IPA — Brewer Jeff Bagby. ABV: 9 pecent. Figure the IBUs in the 90s. I didn’t get to try it; Got there about 3 and it was gone. Everyone who did try it loved it. I really liked the Pizza Port Lou P Lin.
Silver winner was Triple Rock Imaxx Imperial IPA, Rodger Davis, 9 percent. 80 IBUs.
Bronze winner was Bear Republic APEX. Brewrers Ricardo and Peter, 7.5 percent, 83 IBUs.
People’s Choice: Pliny the Elder, naturally.
Both were absolutely excellent, in my opinion.

Great fest yesterday.
I loved Drake’s Denogginizer, and Fifty Fifty Landslide.

The Poormans was good, but I didn’t think of it as great. Then again, I used a rating system based on 10 being Pliny the Elder.
I did not get a change to try the second and third place beers.

My girlfriend and I both loved Auburn’s Isotope 240. That perfect balance of insanely fruity hops and wicked malts.
Great festival and awesome volunteers pouring. You were right William, it’s worth the $!

[...] Actually, I’m not a “poor man” (unless you count having no money, no income and a lot of debt as “poor”), but last night Beermolly and I went to Carlsbad Pizza Port with the Monkeys for a couple of pints and pizza. Monkey Mike and I got a pitcher of Poorman’s IPA, which is my favorite beer there. Turns out it’s a lot of other people’s favorite too. Seems it won the Bistro Double IPA Fest last weekend. [...]
