Speed Racer 2014

Hoppy New Year!!
Get it!? Because I replaced Happy with
Hoppy because..well..you get it!?

After a few batches of tweaking and changing my On The Loose IPA I am going back to an oldie and bestie: The Racer 5 Clone I call Speed Racer. This is still hands-down the best IPA I've ever brewed and the one I plan to take forward, tweak and replace the old On The Loose IPA. Up tomorrow, 12 gallons of hoppy goodness. Enjoy Speed Racer and apologies for the egregious pun!
