Because Apparently, the Craft Beer Arms Race Has Gone Nuclear
In the world of craft beer, where the motto seems to be "go big or go home," Destination Unknown Beer Company has decided to obliterate the very concept of "home" with their latest offering, "Burn Pile." It's a Triple IPA, because Double IPAs are so last season, and we've collectively decided that our palates are no longer content with mere nuances of flavor. No, we want our taste buds to be hit with the hop equivalent of a sledgehammer, and Burn Pile is here to oblige.
First, let's address the elephant in the room, or rather, the towering inferno: the name "Burn Pile." It conjures images of a massive bonfire, a funeral pyre for all the hops that sacrificed themselves in the name of craft beer excess. This isn't just a beer; it's an event, a cataclysmic explosion of flavor designed to leave scorched earth in its wake. Each sip is a reminder that in the craft beer universe, there's no such thing as "too much." More hops? Why not. Higher alcohol content? Sure, pile it on.
Diving into the flavor profile of Burn Pile is akin to diving headfirst into a hop bush. The initial taste is an all-out assault, a blitzkrieg of bitterness that makes you question all your life choices leading up to this moment. But as you acclimate, you begin to detect the subtler notes of citrus and pine, the gentle whispers of flavors that were almost drowned out by the hopocalypse.
But let's be honest, subtlety isn't why you ordered a Triple IPA named Burn Pile. You're here for the spectacle, the bragging rights, the ability to say, "Yes, I drank that, and I lived to tell the tale." It's a beer for those who wear their hop tolerance as a badge of honor, a testament to their enduring spirit in the face of overwhelming bitterness.
What's truly fascinating about Burn Pile is the brewing philosophy behind it. Destination Unknown Beer Company seems to have taken the adage "if a little is good, a lot must be better" and cranked it to eleven. This beer isn't just brewed; it's forged in the fires of hop madness, a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of more. It's a middle finger to restraint, a manifesto written in hops and alcohol.
In conclusion, Burn Pile by Destination Unknown Beer Company is more than just a beer; it's a statement piece, a conversation starter, a challenge. It dares you to experience the outer limits of what hops can do, to venture into the unknown in search of the ultimate hop thrill. It's not for everyone, and that's precisely the point.
So here's to Burn Pile, the Triple IPA that doesn't just cross the line — it obliterates it. May your liver be sturdy, and your taste for adventure insatiable. Cheers, or, as the true hop warriors might say, "To the burn
Cheers you, silly Bastards!
