Cheap Drunk

Upslope Brewery, contributed by Beer Brother T.

India Pale Ale
Upslope is one of the newest breweries in Boulder, CO, a town teeming with craft brews. While they’ve managed to make a name for themselves locally, you can’t get their IPA as far away as the East…yet. Many CO breweries have started canning their craft beers to fit the active lifestyles of their customers – a can is much easier to crush and carry out in a backpack than glass.  

After arriving in Boulder from the flatlands out east, I thought that this beer drank more like an imperial IPA than an IPA. It may have had something to do with the fact that a flatlander at 6,000’ is a cheap drunk. Still, even those with higher hemoglobin counts than I do appreciate this diesel, hoppy IPA.

Chance of repurchase: 100%.
