Every now and then I like to pair my craft beer with music. I know most folks are pairing beer with food, and that’s fantastic. But I’m not a certified cicerone yet, so I will stick to music for now. I’m a fan of redheads… and red IPAs too. So for this pairing, I suggest Hop Head Red, The Girl U Want!
The Beer
Green Flash Brewing – Hop Head Red
Red India Pale Ale – 7% ABV – 70 IBU
Resinous hop characteristics emerge from an enormous hopping with Columbus, Nugget and Amarillo overtaking the rich caramel malt base. To add luscious
hop flavors and enticingly floral hop aromas, we dry-hop the brew with bucket loads of Amarillo hops. Welcome to the world of Red IPA.
The Music
Devo – Girl U Want – (ukulele version)
Try them together and see if you agree.
Cheers to craft beer!

I kind of remembered Beer Soaked Scott talking about this one a while back. But I didn’t recall whether he liked it or not. So when I saw only two bottles left on the shelf at my local bottle shop I had to grab one and give it a try. I figured I’d immortalize it on the site with a proper Beer Soaked review.
