Yet another great tap takeover at The Iron Press at Anaheim’s Packing District. Drake’s Brewing was in town to showcase some of their great craft beers, with resident craft beer DJ, DJ Lex on the one’s and two’s. The plan for this 2pint2sday was to hit The Kroft for some food and a beer but, as usual, we wound up at The Iron Press for more beer and music. Drake’s had several options available that night. A few highlights were the BA Jolly Rodger which was quite tasty, and Drake’s Imperial Stout. On the other hand, the Special IPA and Experimental IPA both fell a little flat.
Next up was Rough Draft IPA. Excellent! Rough Draft came with it with this IPA: hoppy, bitter, but smooth and refreshing (something sometimes missing in an IPA). But, you know who stole the show? Who dominated the evening? Who decided to step their game up and spoil the party that was supposed to be a Drake’s tap take over?… A local beer, by a local brewery that is pretty new. The Hang 10 DIPA was a smash HIT (all caps, bold)! That was it that night. A taster was needed because after visiting Beach City Brewery last year their IPA wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be – the Rye’t IPA was their best beer by far on that visit. Needless to say, it looks like they figured it out, Hang 10 DIPA can stand up to any local DIPA, including anything Noble Ale Works is producing. We suggest you find it and try it.
Another successful 2pint2sday. Another successful tap take over at The Iron Press in Anaheim. Oh and another successful dish at The Kroft. I don’t think I mentioned the Chicken Pot Fries, did I?
