Thursday Tasting at Heritage: IPA Day

This week, the gang at Heritage is cracking open IPAs in celebration of “International IPA Day.” Whether you embrace it or write it off as a bit of internet nerdery, Heritage will no doubt be cracking some good beers.

*“International #IPADay* is a grassroots movement to unite the voices of craft beer enthusiasts, bloggers, and brewers worldwide through social media. On Thursday August 4th, craft beer drinkers across the social sphere and across the globe will raise pints in a collective toast to one of craft beer’s most iconic styles: the India Pale Ale. This celebrated style represents the pinnacle of brewing innovation with its broad spectrum of diverse brands, subcategories, and regional flavor variations – making it the perfect style to galvanize craft beer’s social voice.”

The goal of #IPADay is to use social media to strengthen the voice of craft beer through the celebration of beer itself, but also through any events you can create. Well, we’re always looking for an excuse to drink IPA’s, so we’re jumping on the #IPADay bandwagon. For this weeks Thursday tasting we’ll be pouring some our favorite IPA’s of all styles (and we may have some left over for you). Our Thursday tastings run from 5-7PM.

And in that spirit, we’re gonna make this week’s Bomber of the Week the recently released Stone IPA limited edition Minnesota bottles. They’ll be 20% off all week.
