Message nimbleprop P beers 15419 º places 134 º 07:06 Thu 10/8/2015 Originally posted by radagast83 A Port City Monumental IPA - Alexandria VA On of the things I really appreciate in a brewery is when they adapt. The first batches of Monumental were not great. It was arguably the weakest offering within their portfolio. Then about 18months ago, they tweaked the recipe and now it is consistently solid and very deserving of a medal.
Message solidfunk P beers 20023 º places 1037 º 14:12 Thu 10/8/2015 Most of their stuff is solid and drinkable for styles. They do a few good offerings and do them well, without going crazy on experiments. Have to appreciate that.

Message DCLawyer beers 3007 º places 236 º 22:56 Thu 10/8/2015 Not to be Debbie Downer, but isn’t this award abit like saying the Hyundai Sonata is the best car in the world because it has the best rearview mirror, windshield wipers, and trunk latch, in a competition without Ford, BMW, or Toyota.
