And now, the continuation of the Insanity Sauce Series with installment II....
Tiny Dancer is a single hop India Pale Ale of tiny proportions, well mostly. Okay okay, it's tiny by comparison to some IPAs you'll find crafted at the Hart and Thistle. But don't let the lack of calculated IBUs or the meager 6.4% ABV fool you, Tiny Dancer is packin' a mighty and flavourful punch from copious amounts of the Glacier hop cultivar being infused during its inception. I have to say, for a smaller IPA there's a lot going on in this beer. Wonderfully complex with layers of flavours, so much so that one might say it's insane. Think green tea, honey, candy, citrus, grass, blossoms, spices and herbs. Hold me closer.
As with any beer, this is not suitable for consumption at a royal wedding so get that idea out of your head right now.
Tiny Dancer hits the taps Saturday April 30th at 11:00 a.m.
Enjoy.

Insanity Sauce Series
1814 Porter is gonzo, sold out! Too bad, it was really tasty and well-loved, oh well. Moving forward as always I may have to make another black beer soon. Never look back.
I'll have the next installment of the Insanity Sauce Series on tap shortly so stay tuned for the details on that one. And most importantly - thanks for drinking!!

Hoptacular - IIPA
Born on April 21st 2011
The Insanity Sauce Series [ISS] begins. Right here, right now.
Hoptacular double India Pale Ale launches Thursday April 21st @ high noon in a spectacular display of fiery hop-goodness-in-a-glass. My first version of insanity sauce is sure to satisfy like a volcano of hops in your mouth. Hopped at a rate of 7.8 lbs per barrel with calculated theoretical international bittering units of 425 and a mind-numbing 8.6% ABV, Hoptacular IIPA might just alter life as you know it forever. The beer is all about balance.
Enjoy.
