Mad Tom IPA

Post by Tony L » Thu Apr 25, 2013 6:04 pm

Holy shit, what is happening to our liquor store? Have they been taken over by aliens? They have an ample supply ( at least for now ) of Mad Tom IPA.
I picked up a few for the weekend.

It is a pretty good beer. Really where Garrison should be stepping up.

I loved it. Tried a few this weekend. I'll have to pick up a few more to tide me over until my IPA is ready to drink.

This does not show up in an NSLC search. What store were you at?

Great IPA, wish we could get it here in NB.

I was very disappointed with the twice as mad though, didn't care for it at all.

Didn't like Twice As Mad? How come? I liked it, but as a night cap. A little high in alcohol for an every day beer, as is the price.

I think the Mad Tom is such a good session beer, it's hard to top by throwing the same name onto another style.

Exactly. I certainly didn't dislike the Twice as Mad - I just wasn't as thrilled by it as Mad Tom, which I will drink any time somebody shoves one my way. I've even been known to buy it for relatives. Bastards drank it, too...

I wasn't too nuts about Mad Tom when I had it in Ontario last year. I found it oddly bland for such a high IBU value. Nicklebrook has an IPA called Headstock that I thought was much better.

X - did you call this a "session beer?" I can just picture myself pounding back a bunch of 6.4%-ers doing the yard work and 4 beers in I'd be trying to kill the neighbour with a whipper snipper. I must be getting old!!!

I drank quite a few working on Shelley's cottage last year. I guess sessionable for an IPA, lol.
