Hoppy Days at the Blue Nile

Attention Hop Heads: The Blue Nile has your ticket to happiness. Stop in soon and pick from a great line up of hoppy beers. Have a pint, have a sampler, have fun.

Starting with our new menu today, we’re shining the light on IPAs, double IPAs, Imperial IPAs, oak-aged, and black IPAs. Or Cascadian Dark Ales, whatever they’re calling them.

On tap: Deschutes Hop in the Dark CDA, Breckenridge 471 Imperial IPA, Rush River Double Bubble Imperial IPA, Dark Horse Double Crooked Tree Double IPA, and 21st Amendment Hop Crisis Oak-aged Imperial IPA.

Add to this some IPAs we already had on tap, like Surly Furious, Fulton Sweet Child of Vine, and Harriet West-Side Belgian-style IPA, these comprise the set from which you can sample.

3 4-ounce pours for $7.

There are three beers waiting in the wings, when one of these runs out: Great Lakes Lake Erie Monster Imperial IPA, Great Divide Hercules Imperial IPA, and Avery Maharaja Imperial IPA.

These will continue until they run out…our next event, September 16: 6 beers from the New Belgium Lips of Faith series.
