November Mornings

The Lakai Marc's are still in the box.  I still have my second pair of KA-ONEs and a pair of VOX flim flammers in olive drab to tear through.  Getting there.  I figured I would share a review of two upper east coast breweries' winter seasonal offerings.  

Blue Point Brewing's White IPA and Harpoon's Winter Warmer.  The can of spiced up IPA looked like   a  Piels at first.  Upon closer inspection it shown a logo surrounded by intricate mosaic tile.  With the word "Fresh" graffitied above the left corner of "IPA"  I wasn't sure if this artwork was going for "class act" or "historic urban decay".  

Harpoon's label looked as it does every year.... classic green and red boughs of hollis motif.  

While the White IPA was going for wheat beer meets hop heavy ale, the Harpoon goes for a stickier, maltier sort of approach.  When the brisk air is snapping and stinging, we can seek sound shelter with these delicious brews.
