Netherlands Close to Belgium
Last night after work I went to TJ's in Paoli for a couple. Up first was a very safe choice...Stone Sublimely Self Righteous. Safe because I've had this on many occasions and it is always an excellent choice. I guess you would call it a Black IPA if you tried to put it into a category. I followed that with a Storm & Averij from Brouwerij De Molen in the Netherlands. I wasn't particularly fond of this DIPA. I guess I feel like the Dutch (and Belgians for that matter) shouldn't try to brew DIPA's (which I consider an American style) just like American's shouldn't try to beat the Belgians at their own game. Have you ever had a Belgian-style beer brewed in America that compares to the finest Belgium has to offer? Me either.
