Name: India Pale AleFrom: Bridgeport, Oregon, USA
Type: American IPA
My good friend Jason recently took a new job at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. He was nice enough to comp me a ticket to a show tonight (As You Like It). The show was fantastic, and I got a nice surprise at intermission. As the house lights came on, my friend said "there's a pub downstairs, let's grab a beer". Not only did they have a pub, there were some good selections, such as this Bridgeport IPA. You get your beer in a plastic cup with a lid and then (this is the best part) get to take it back to your seat.
The beer itself is a fairly typical West Coast hop-forward IPA, lots of strong grassy and fruity hops in both aroma and taste. While it didn't blow me away, I have to say I enjoyed as much as any beer I've had all year. It was such a great feeling to watch the show and enjoy a brew at the same time. Life is good sometimes. I'd drink this beer again for sure - hopefully at another play.
