God Damn I love IPA--Widmers Bros Nelson Imperial IPA

I know that there is a God because we have IPA's.  I never get tired of a good IPA.  I am rarely surprised by them as well.  It is a special day when I find an IPA that I have not tatsted and then it blows my freakin mind.  This is what happened when I tried the Nelson Imperial.  I almost fell off my stool when it hit my lips.  I tasted this beer the night of my 1 year anniversary.  Besdies the my nightcap with my wife, wink-wink, this was the most memorable part of my night.  It was powerful.  It was hoppy.  It was IMPERIAL.  I love this beer.  Oh yeah by the way I had it at the Yard House, my Denver beer Mecca.  Thank you Yard House!!  Huzzah!
