It's the Hopocalypse! We're drinking two amazing IPA's from Drake's Brewing Co, the Green label double IPA and the Black label triple IPA. Which Stephen immediately declares being as good or better then the Pliny equivalents. Stephen is moody with IPA's, John doesn't want to say "Bam" and Matt is giggly. In the kitchen, Dr Bill brings Stephen in for a Master Pairings of Oysters on the half shell with O'Hara Dry Irish Stout. Stephen is afraid of the Oysters, and the fish mongers ... and swears never to eat them again, regardless of how awesome the pairing was. After Master Pairings we aimlessly banter about a completely different Master Pairings that you may remember from our Hopslam/Abrasive Ale episode. Stephen can't drink World Wide Stout, which deeply offends Matt, and John just thinks that Stephen needs to sit on his bottles. John gets to drink a new beer ( Black Label Hopocalypse ) as well as a new hop, Zythos .. so he is very excited. Matt is excused while we have a Pliny the Younger comparison discussion. In the end we all agree that you need to get your hands on some Drake's! __ Support our Sponsors Beachwood BBQ - http://www.beachwoodbbq.com The Full Pint - http://www.thefullpint.com NBT Brewing - http://www.nbtbrewing.com __ Follow us online New Brew Thursday – Twitter – twitter.com/newbrewthursday New Brew Thursday – Facebook – facebook.com/newbrewthursday Master Pairings – Twitter – twitter.com/masterpairings Master Pairings – Facebook – facebook.com/masterpairings Stephen – twitter.com/darthweef John – twitter.com/johnholzer Matt – twitter.com/SmallBatchBrew
