A great way to watch the Indy 500 – with Big Storm Arcus IPA

This year the Indy 500 was an interesting and competitive race.  I enjoyed the race even though my

favorite drive – Juan Pablo Montoya – crashed early on and finished last.  Fortunately, I made a good choice in the beer to drink while watching the 500 and then the Coca Cola 600 that followed later in the afternoon.

The web site says: “Details ABV: 6.2%, IBUs: 56 SRM: 6.9; Category: Year-Round Beers About This Beer: An Arcus is a low, horizontal cloud formation associated with a storm front. With the same gust provided by its name sake, our IPA rolls in with an intense citrusy hop aroma, and is brewed with two-row American pale ale malts. The addition of locally sourced wildflower honey lends a subtle sweetness for a clean and easy finish to our Arcus IPA.  Keep and serve cold as hail. Flavor Profiles: Hoppy and Aromatic, Vibrant Food Pairings:  Steak, Fried Chicken, Stone Crab.

A delightful beer, easy to drink with a hoppiness that lasts on the back of the tongue long after the beer has been drunk.  An excellent way to spend a Sunday, watching racing and drinking Big Storm Arcus IPA.  

After all the Indy 500 and the Coca Cola 600 only happen once a year. I would also have liked to watch the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, but I no longer have any premium cable channels so it wasn’t possible.
