When thinking about my next blog post, the first thing I considered was what beer I wanted to recommend to you guys this week. Based off of the fact that I am a huge IPA lover (which I'm sure you've all probably figured out by now) I decided to write about another IPA. So, without further ado, I proudly introduce this week's IPA........ Victory Brewing Company's Dirt Wolf Double IPA. The difference between this IPA and Lil' Sumpin Sumpin, is that this is a double IPA. This means that it is a much heavier beer. To better explain, Lil' Sumpin Sumpin is about 7.5% ABV (or percentage of alcohol per bottle), while Dirt Wolf's is around 9% ABV. Now that may not seem like a lot to many of you, but you can definitely taste the difference. Now the question becomes, what food would go well with this? Being that I work at an irish pub, I know from first hand experience that any irish food is a delicious choice when dealing with Dirt Wolf. They pair well because they are hardy, salty meals that usually have a lot of potatoes in them, and the cool sip of Dirt Wolf will help counteract the saltiness. Here is a list of what I think would be appropriate Irish dishes that you as the reader would enjoy:
-Bangers and Mash Potatoe (Basically a fancy way of saying sausage and mash potato)
-Corn Beef and Cabbage (If you've never had it, you gotta try it)
-Shepherds Pie (Just a good old classic Irish dish)
-Guinness Stew (Get it with a side of bread for dipping and you'll love it)
