A Toast to Thwarted Resolutions and Triple Dry Hopped Defiance
Ah, Dry January, that noble time of year when many attempt to turn over a new leaf, embracing hydration and forsaking their beloved hops and barley. Into this sober landscape bursts Abomination Brewing Company's rebellious creation: "Fuck Dry January," a Triple Dry Hop Double IPA that not only thumbs its nose at temperance but drop-kicks it out of the brewery.
Just as you're eyeing up that gym membership you'll never use and Googling how to make kale taste less like a punishment, along comes a beer determined to derail your health train before it even leaves the station. "Fuck Dry January" is less a beer and more a manifesto poured into a can, a frothy middle finger to restraint and a siren call back to the bar stool.
For those not in the hoppy loop, triple dry hopping is akin to giving a beer a hop bath, then a hop shower, followed by a hop spa day. It's excessive, it's unnecessary, and in this case, it's absolutely glorious. Abomination Brewing has decided that if they're going to make a statement, they're going to make it as loudly and hoppy as possible. The result is a beer that's more hop than liquid, a brew that doesn't just walk the line—it hopscotches over it.
Diving into this ale is an experience akin to diving into a pool of liquid rebellion. The taste is a complex layer cake of defiance, with notes of citrus and pine that dance on the palate like your dignity on New Year's Eve. Each sip is a reminder of all the resolutions you've made and broken, a liquid ode to the eternal struggle between aspiration and reality.
What pairs well with a beer that's a toast to giving up? Denial, deep-fried. "Fuck Dry January" goes down smoothly with a side of cheese fries and a hefty serving of self-acceptance. It's the perfect accompaniment to a night spent laughing in the face of self-improvement, a reminder that perfection is overrated and beer is not.
In the end, "Fuck Dry January" isn't just a beer. It's a celebration of every broken promise to ourselves, a cheer for our imperfections, and a reminder that sometimes, it's okay not to be okay. Abomination Brewing Company has crafted not just a beverage, but a beacon of hope for those of us who see Dry January not as a goal, but as a gauntlet.
So, here's to the Triple Dry Hop Double IPA that dares to dream, to the brew that embraces the chaos of existence with a hoppy embrace. May your January be wet, your spirits be high, and your resolve be as hazy as this beer.
Cheers you, magnificent silly bastards!
