Holy City Brewery Overly Friendly India Pale Ale (12 oz)

From the "Can"

We've been told before "people in Charleston are so damn friendly". Sure, we smile, wave, and say "hey, y'all," and other cute stuff. But our friendliness can be overwhelming to folks that aren't used to it. Same goes for this IPA, whose name came from our intern, Brynn. A double dose of Centennial, Warrior, Chinook, and Cascade in the boil and the dry hop impart a massive citrus nose to the beer, backed up by pale and wheat malts.

The Beer Can section is a virtual homage to the American beer-can collecting craze of the 1970s. The rise of thousands of microbreweries have made 'dump scouring' or digging for old beer cans in the woods and abandoned campgrounds a thing of the past. The thousands of young men who could pick up a can in any vacant lot when the hobby was at its zenith in the 1970s have grown up - but fortunately may now find hundreds of colorful cans (full of good brew) within mere miles of their homes.

Brewer's Exegesis

Here in Charleston, we’re a smiling kind. It doesn’t matter if you’re a visitor to our fair city or you came from down the road to grab a pint, we’re always happy to see you. We live in a paradisal coastal city, so why wouldn’t we be? Our intern Brynn came up with the name “Overly Friendly” for this American IPA because of how damn nice everyone is around here, and if you’re not familiar with the Lowcountry, it can be a little overwhelming at first. We used enough pale and wheat malts in the boil to give this hoppy brew a nice, malty body while still remaining crisp and drinkable. Chinook, Centennial and Simcoe are used in the dry-hop to create a nice blend of citrus and piney notes, and it’s got a nice ABV that will have you saying “Y’all” in no time. We can this beer in six-packs, so spit one with a friend and do like the Charlestonians do. You don’t have to drink them on the porch, but they taste a lot better out there! When we add cilantro, jalapeno, and pineapple to this, it becomes Muy Amigo IPA. For Brewvival 2015, we took Muy Amigo and aged it in tequila barrels for 4 months. Tequila did what tequila does, and Muy Amigo suddenly became Mucho Muy Amigo.
