SBM: Day 6

Day 6:  Hopworks Urban Brewery's Evelyn's Imperial Sunshine IIPA
A day trip down to Portland for few birthday weekend beers landed us at Hopworks Bike Bar.  With an extensive patio, it was hard to start our PDX journey anywhere else.  Sitting in the Pacific Northwest sunshine, I grinned at the beertender when she told me that their seasonal beer was an Imperial IPA.  Perfect!  This IIPA is named after the brewer's daughter, whose 8lb 4oz entry into the world prompted 84 pounds of hops into this brew.  A welcomed and tasty alternative to the last five days of lighter hopped beers, a couple of pints went down without hesitation.  This hophead needed a good dose of lupulin to get through the rest of the month's challenge.
