Beer 181 - Starr Hill Northern Lights IPA

Brewed and bottled by Starr Hill Brewery, Crozet, VA.  Another beer bought by Rigo while flying on the east coast in December.  Drunk at home in Katy with an improved DiGiorno three meat pizza (added mushrooms and more cheese).

The brewery web site: http://www.starrhill.com/ is a little slow to react and the blog is not up to date, but this is a very small craft brewery, so we can make allowances for the web site.

This is a great beer to enjoy with a well flavored pizza.  It is strong at 6.5% ABV and full of flavor. It is a typical IPA with a slight bitterness to start that comes from the hops and a strong flavor to finish.  I liked this beer with food, though it is probably not a good session beer.
