BOSTON BETTER BEER BUREAU: FURTHER NEW ENGLAND IPA

Written by CITIZEN STRAIN Posted November 11, 2020 Filed Under: Better Boston Beer Bureau

Progression Brewing

“I’m glad I didn’t judge this book by its green exterior.”


Further New England IPA 

Progression Brewing (Northampton)

In a time when we are barely speaking with conservative friends and family members, who the hell are we to turn away a four-pack from the Pioneer Valley-based Progression Brewing (hey, it sounds enough like progressive)?

Hardly a handsome label on it, I’m glad I didn’t judge this book by its green exterior. Greenish-orange would be more appropriate, since these Simcoe hops sent me straight for the tropics.

I want to swim in this stuff, strip down to my ass and sit in a bathtub full of it. Crisp and clean, layer upon layer of sweet-bitter-sweet teasers and pleasers, I could drink a dozen of these.

Over the span of next weekend, I probably will.
