After a solidly eclectic first week of the "12 Days of IPA," I was pretty hoptimistic (sorry) about how the rest of the advent calendar played out. Then the second week revealed a distinct southeastern bent, challenging those high hopes.
Welp, the third week took it a step further, making it not only predictable geographically be veering hard into mainstream brews:
- Florida Avenue Brewing Company's Luminescence
- Victory Brewing Company's Juicy Monkey Hazy
- Cigar City Brewing's Jai Alai
Two more Florida breweries and a highly recognizable Pennsylvania outfit (Victory). Plus, I mean, Jai Alai is one of the foundational brews available at fucking Disney World.
On a positive note, the Luminescence was tropically hazy and smooth, and granted, there have been only a couple of stinkers thus far.
I guess I was hoping for some deeper cuts in this calendar. But hey, it's beer, right?
Holiday cheers, y'all.
