Hop Addict
Hop Addict
1st in Toronto to try Hop Addict last night at Smokless Joes!
It was pretty good. Don't wait too long to give it a try.

I just had Hop Addict at C'est What. I hope they add this to their permanent offerings.
Mmm...Beer

I've tried this one twice now, and found myself a bit disappointed with it. I think I was expecting a bit more based on the name.
However I must state that both times this beer was tasted immediately after drinking Black Oak Cask, and I'm not sure there's any beer that can stand up to that comparison!

Finally got a chance to try this yesterday at lunch at BeerBistro... First off, I feel quite honored to have a beer named after me... Ha ha ha...
I really enjoyed it, it's certainly another strong addition to a small group of more extreme OCB beers. I love the tap handle, for those that haven't seen it, it's shaped like a large hyperdermic needle filled with hop cones, very cool!
It's of course a very hoppy IPA, or perhaps APA, nice malt character as well.
I'd love to hear from someone at Durham to know if they plan to get this into bottles at some point.

I wonder if the label/name will present a problem? If cute pink elephants are contraband I can hardly imagine the reaction to the implication that someone might become addicted to a cannabis family plant!!!!JWalter wrote: I'd love to hear from someone at Durham to know if they plan to get this into bottles at some point.
