EPISODE 25: Obeying the Rule

EPISODE 25
Obeying the Rule
 
The Taphouse Grill has been celebrating IPA Week, and naturally I joined in the festivities. On one of my visits I noticed that Dogfish Head Brewery's "120 Minute IPA" was on the beer list. Now I have a rule: Whenever I see the Dogfish 120 on tap, I have to order it. So I did.
 
 
Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA
 
This is the strongest beer that I have tried
The number's on the keg, it must be true:
Eighteen percent! That booze will get you fried!
(I've seen it up as high as twenty-two)
 
Its taste is worthy to be highly praised
It's potent as a thousand-pound bull moose
You know those grapefruit notes in IPAs?
In this one they taste more like orange juice
 
I once tried this beer mixed with World Wide Stout
To make a forty-proofer Black and Tan
A combination that will make on shout,
"If you can drink THAT down, then you're da man!"
 
But whether mixed like that, or on its own
It reigns upon the "Beer, High-Octane" throne
