From the Brewer: The Double IPA is brewed by Mike McDole, a member of the California-based homebrewing club, Club DOZE for over a decade.   Some have billed McDole’s Double IPA as a Pliny the Elder clone which is not far-fetched given he got the base recipe from Russian River’s Vinnie Cilurzo five years ago. The end result is a beer featuring seven different hops. McDole was actually a winner in 2007 but because of the hop shortage, his recipe couldn’t be brewed until 2008.

From Us:  Does Erik the Hophead do back flips for this double whammy IPA?  Will Dusty once again do his impersonation of Mr. Head?  Watch the episode to find!
