Always a Lot Happening

Just when I think that there can't be a whole lot of new things out there in the world of alcoholic beverages the suppliers prove me wrong. We have whiskey from virtual distilleries and beer from a brewery within a brewery in a style that's not a style. These are not bad things they're just new things I just put the Hops and  Bolts IPL on tap from Mad and Noisy Brewing which is part of Creemore Springs in Ontario. IPL stands for India Pale Lager which up until this year no one had ever heard of. It is a cross style of IPA and Lager which makes for a hoppy crisp hybrid that goes down easy
.
 At our last whisky tasting we tried the Tantallon Highland single malt bottled by the Scotch Malt Whisky society It is Highland malt but there is no distillery at Tantallon Not bad whisky but not outstanding either.

Time will tell if these new trends will fade away or become the norm but one thing is sure there will be something new every time you turn around as long as there are consumers to buy it.
