Kuhnhenn DRIPA – Double Rice IPA

DRIPA is a Double Rice IPA from Kuhnhenn Brewing Company in Warren, Michigan.  at 9.5% ABV, DRIPA has been a long time favorite of a lot of eastsiders, and until recently was only available in their taproom.  Now that DRIPA and White Devil have started hitting shelves in 4 packs, they should be getting wider distribution.  Have you had DRIPA?  See what I think by watching the video below!

Perrin Brewing – Push Hop Strawberry NE IPA Review

Push Hop is a Strawberry New England Style IPA from Perrin Brewing Company (Part of Canarchy) in Comstock, Michigan at 6.3% ABV.
