Thread: Beer of the Day !

Tonight's refreshment is an IPA from up in Michigan.

I'm guessing the name comes from a Hemingway story. Anybody into literary trivia?

Not so much literary as an interest in beer trivia. According to Bell's Brewery -- Two Hearted Ale | Bell's Brewery -- "Brewed with 100% Centennial hops from the Pacific Northwest and named after the Two Hearted River in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula . . ."

However, according to Wikipedia, Hemmingway did name his story after the river: "Hemingway used the name because of its appeal; however, the geography of the story indicates that Hemingway was really describing a different trout stream, the Fox River near Seney."

You were close, but you know your trivia. Me, I'm just a fact checking editor.
Namaste,

Refreshing and tastey, I like hoppy west coast beers but this is very good if you can find it grab it.

This afternoon's pint was a homebrewed New England style Double IPA modeled (as best as I can figure) on Heady Topper. Not too bad. Sorry, but I forgot to take a picture. I'll try to get one tomorrow.
