International #IPA Day
General Beer Discussion by BLUESANDBARBQ
[url="http://ipaday-estw.eventbrite.com/"]International #IPA Day[/url] August 4, 2011 A beer/social media event: "International #IPADay is a grassroots movement created to unite the voices of craft beer enthusiasts, bloggers, and brewers worldwide, using social media as the common arena for connecting the conversation together. On Thursday August 4th, craft beer drinkers across the social sphere and across the globe will raise pints in a collective toast to one of craft beer’s most iconic styles: the India Pale Ale. This celebrated style represents the pinnacle of brewing innovation with its broad spectrum of diverse brands, subcategories, and regional flavor variations – making it the perfect style to galvanize the craft beer’s social voice. To participate, share your photos, videos, blog posts, tasting notes, recipes, thoughts with the world on Twitter Facebook, YouTube, WordPress, RateBeer, Foursquare, Gowalla, Yelp, Untappd or any other social media platforms you may use. Use the hastag #IPADay in all of your posts and then see what others are saying by searching the hashtag on google, twitter or other social media resources. Participants are also encouraged to organize "real-life" #IPADay events your local brewery, brewpub, restaurant, bar, home, or office." For a lot of us, EVERY DAY is IPA Day!

Apparently, I'm currently in a binge/rest cycle. Today is a rest day, though I shared a double IPA yesterday and am fairly likely to do something similar tomorrow [:D]

NICE! Sounds like a good time! I went to Samuel Beckett's last night to catch the 19th Street Band and just for IPA Day ordered a bottle of the only IPA in the house: New Belgium Ranger. Having done my duty, I returned to Smithwick's on draft. And a little Guinness. And a bit of cider. And a wee dram of Jameson.

Celebrated IPA Day by getting out of my comfort zone a little... my comfort zone being American beer. [img]http://www.troubadourbieren.be/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/fles%20troubadour%20magma.png[/img] Belgian Trippel IPA, pretty tasty! It is INTERNATIONAL IPA Day, right?
