This was given to me, by Kevin at the Liquor Outlet in Boonton NJ.  He said he hadn’t tried it, but knowing I’m a hop head, he thought I could kick the tires on this beer.  And Kick I will! The Harpoon Leviathan Imperial IPA is one of five beers in Harpoon’s Leviathan series, which include a Saison Royale, Big Bohemian Pils, Quad and a Baltic Porter.

The Sierra Nevada Red Ale is a one-of-a-kind pilot brew.  How my local waterhole in New Jersey got this  beer, I don’t know.  But, I’ll gladly give it a try, so I brought a growler (1/2 gal) of the Red Ale home.  The Sierra Nevada Irish Red was brewed at the Sierra Nevada brewery by the Vice President of Peerless Beverage Company in NJ. Check out the brewmasters notes.
