Beer of the Week

Victory Yakima Twilight Ale. Currently on tap at Fourth Avenue Pub, but I imagine it won't last long.

This Dark India Pale Ale (DIPA) clocks in at 8.7% and is supposed to have enough hop aroma to make you feel like you are on a hop farm. This sounds like a perfect beer to try during the hop harvest season.

Here is a video of Bill Kovaleski and Ron Marchet talking about the YT: http://www.victorybeerblog.com/beerblog/introducing-the-all-new-yakima-twilight.html

This beer will also be available on cask at Barcade for the Victory Night.
