Message RandylBear 14:02 Thu 11/3/2011 Originally posted by theisti Originally posted by RandylBear Originally posted by theisti Originally posted by RandylBear 6 more breweries have been added to the line up. Check them out at http://beerkc.com/beerfest/strong-ale/ Nice. Is there going to be an advance beer list? No worries either way, just curious. I haven’t decided yet. I know which beers will be served, but I might make them a surprise. As long as there’s at least one barrel aged imperial pumpkin Berliner Weiss I’ll be happy. I’m sure we’ll be able to swing that!

Message JohnF 11:58 Fri 11/4/2011 How is a double pale ale different from an IIPA, DIPA again? I want to say the explanation is less malty so double pale ale is a euphemism for "awesome West Coast style beer"?
Message TheJermis 12:27 Fri 11/4/2011 This beer finished on the sweeter side and is not dry hopped. We felt that to be an IPA, there must be dry hopping.
Message beastiefan2k P beers 5020 º places 294 º 15:22 Fri 11/4/2011 Double Pales don’t want to be associated with India or anything related in imperialism.

Message csbosox beers 1229 º places 13 º 15:36 Fri 11/4/2011 Jeremy pretty much summed it up, this beer is a high gravity beer with the balance and hop flavor more like a traditional pale ale than an IPA or DIPA.

Message JohnF 10:06 Sat 11/5/2011 Jeremy, since it is not dry hopped does that mean we won’t be seeing any double pale nutsack from you?
