there is a craft beer connection to this year’s super bowl showdown
its not just the ravens vs. the 49ers
its heavy seas vs. 21st amendment, anchor brewing and anderson valley
click here for heavy sea’s big words
click here for 21st amendment’s take on the bet
me, i’m cheering for the 49ers
but i have no beer riding on the outcome of the game so it’ll be a good day for me either way!
i’m back, i’m tanned
and i’m off to a superbowl party!
found a great craft beer spot in playa del carmen
plenty more to come about that
and all the beers i got to try
but not today…
all i have for you today is this from elysian about their upcoming ipa offerings:

So many IPAs, so little time…
 Elysian Brewing Company is kicking it’s Manic IPA Series in February of 2012 with Idiot Sauvin, an IPA both fiercely fruity and floral, made with New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hops. The beer has appeared before only at Elysian’s pubs, and will be issued in both 22 oz bottles and draft. Then in June will come Prometheus, anaggressively aromatic blend of Northwest classic Chinook, Cascade, Centennial and Amarillo hops fondly familiar to Elysian regulars.
Rounding out the year will be Valhalla, a reddish fall-into-holiday IPA using Sorachi Ace and Citra hops, scheduled for release in October. Too many IPAs? Bah, humbug!
