I agree

Always in my fridge

[cabmandone]

That's only because I don't allow anyone but family and close friends to drink my Kolsch!

[Chocaholic]

Never heard of it....till now. Thanks.

Awesome. My local joint still #2 !

Love to try yours one day.

[astrochex]

I see I can get Bell’s locally. I will look for it now. Thanks for the tip.

It is 7% alcohol, well that is a good start.

Just went out and got a 6 pack. All I can say is how much are these guys paying Zymurgy magazine to rank Two Hearted #1. It's got to be 7 figures.

I don't think I've ever had such an uninspired, tasteless craft beer in my life. It has great color but that is it. Seriously, this is not even good beer let alone best in the country.

[Adrian Thompson]

It’s because it’s more of a traditional IPA rather than the awful race to cram more and more hops into something they falsely call an IPA.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

It should be called Millennial where everyone gets a ribbon for being average. It shines as an average beer. It has virtually no flavor. At all.

[astrochex]

Okay, it looks like I have more or less to look forward to.

[Shaun @ Tru6]

It's funny that God tried to save me from this insult to my taste buds. I pulled a 6 pack out of the case, took 5 steps and a bottle fell out of the bottom. Cardboard was torn away. Bottle hit the floor but didn't break. That was my cue to grab anything else. Instead I got the second 6 pack in the case, had one and now I have to figure out what do the other 5 bottles. I see a lot of bratwurst marinating over the next few months.

.....and we can talk when it’s seven years in a row

I don’t understand that race. I agree the new beer seems to get more and more hops in beer. And I really don’t understand the IPA push. I will drink any beer before an IPA.

Slug bait. They love it.

Are you calling Millennials slugs?

beer is subjective. just like anything else. it's a short reach for me to realize we dont all love the same thing. life would be awful if we did. i'm satisfied with a "i dont like it". no need to find any colorful metaphors...like the ones i use for my description of BLUEMOON

i love a nice IPA. i don't necessarily agree with the race to the finish idea of stuffing even more bitter into a beer tho. i love a good balanced IPA. that play between sweet and bitter for me is the key. Pliny is Good. Blind Pig is better for me. i would love to taste the new KING one day. but its in MI.

I thought you "Mericans" only drank Bush?

Were they out of Apple-tinis?

Although labeled as an 'American IPA', it doesn't have the hoppiness of most IPA's.
The founder of the company named it after the Two Hearted River in the UP of Michigan.

For you guys looking for a good punch you in the face IPA, look for one of these if you can find them.

Sixpoint Resin IPA 9.5% and it tastes very smooth for the ABV being so high so tread carefully.




My current favorite, which I may break my no booze during the week rule and buy a 6er on my way home today.

Motorworks Pulp Friction, this one is a Grapefruit IPA. 6.5% on this one.
