June is shaping up to be a big double IPA month. Next week Stone Brewing is releasing its 10th Anniversary version of Ruination IPA, which if it's only half as good as regular Ruination will be quite a beer. Alesmith recently released its Summer YuleSmith, a big double IPA. I tweeted earlier in the week that I used to mark YuleSmith's annual release date on my calender. I am embarrassed to write that its release slipped my mind this year until I saw an AleSmith email saying YuleSmith had been bottled. To me, AleSmith seems to change or tweak the recipe for YuleSmith. For several years it had become too sweet and syrupy for me, but last year AleSmith toned down sugars and it was once again a great double IPA. I wonder what's in the bottle this year. Ballast Point sent out a tweet yesterday morning saying that today it bottled its monster Dorado Double IPA for the first time since June 2009. It's hard to believe it's been three years since this big beer has been on shelves. I don't know what's going to explode first, my head with all these beers to find and try, or my liver.
Update: Here is a video from Stone Brewing on its Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA:
