Most micro-breweries make an I.P.A. and for a good reason...they're really good. I.P.A. is an ale that was designed to withstand the slow boat from England to colonial India, at the request of the thirsty British military. They discovered that an ale had to be alcohol and hop rich to survive the long, unrefrigerated journey. What you have at the end of that trip, and at the Tugboat Brewing Company, is a big-bodied, dirty blonde, hoppy als that makes you say "zoinks" at the first sip, and "another please" at the last.
