Double IPA's

Post by Ralphus »

I'm on the the lookout for any DIPA's in and around the Ottawa / Gatineau area as part of a trade. The stronger the better. Any suggestions?

Its a tough call.


Maybe Church Key Grains of wrath?
You'd best go to Gatineau and try Morche Jovi or Trappe Fromage for some Du ciel stuff, amongst others. Worse comes to worse, I've a few So Cal/West COast IIPas I could trade to you.

I got a bottle of La Lièvre IPA Impériale from La Trappe a few months back. It was not particularly good, but nothing else comes to mind. I don't think that DDC bottles any IIPAs.

One Imperial IPA that I've got from Hull/Gatineau is "La Maitresse" from Au Maitre Brasseur in Laval. I forget if I found it at Jovi or La Trappe. It's pretty good but I'm not as enamoured with Doubles or Imperials as with standard IPAs so I'm perhaps not the best to judge. It's 8.5% for what it's worth.
