After the formal interview was over Patrick and I began our somewhat informal tasting of 6 of Smuttynose’s finest beers. For our first beer we chose Finest Kind IPA, Smuttynose’s Flagship beer, which was my first ever craft brewed IPA. In this video we taste the beer, pair it with a mild cheddar cheese, and go on to talk more about what’s coming up at Smuttynose and hoppy beer trends in the craft beer scene.

Stats: 6.9% ABV 75 IBUs

Stay tuned for the tasting of 5 more Smuttynose beers…Next Up: Big A IPA
