Game Stop has a positive view: Episud 3 (Beer & Bits)
Tonight's beer is Cherry Street’s Steppin Razor. It s a New England style IPA. New England style IPAs are characterized by citrus, juicy, floral notes with a more subtle piney hop taste. It makes for easy drinking, thus a second week in a row for this style. It’s getting warmer here in Georgia, and I like the sit back and sip kind of beers. Thanks to Gremlin Growlers for being the best spot in Fayetteville to find craft brews. Cherry Street Brewing can be found in Cumming, GA.
