Drink the beer you brew or enter it into another brewing competition. These are the hard choices we are forced to make. In the case of this red IPA, the wife had the final say, and this beer remained home during our recent adventure to Boot Brew Fest in Eunice, Louisiana. She did not want to let this one go out the door, and we don’t blame her because it is pretty damn tasty. (5 gallon batch) Update: This beer placed 2nd in the Specialty IPA table of the 2023 Spirit of 76 competition in Dallas, Texas.

‘ULA’ULA PIA – Hawaiian for Red Beer This is a double dry hopped specialty IPA. We would have liked the red to have come through a bit more, but this is a smooth, easy drinking, nice IPA. We entered this into the second annual Eureka Heights Lupulin Quest Homebrew Competition but did not podium.
