There are some beers which you drink, love and then forget how good they are. Jaipur IPA is one such beer. A triumph of hoppy moreishness (not a word, I know) it never fails to delight but why is it not a beer I tend to rave about?
Ultimately beer is like music…the more people have heard of it, the less “cool” it is. Like Kings of Leon and Arcade Fire, Jaipur IPA has a reputation befitting its supreme quality. Unfortunately, due to its fame, it’s difficult to take ownership of it. That’s why I only find myself talking about Architecture in Helsinki, Goose (the band, not the beer) and Leatherbritches’ Hairy Helmet.
Lest we forget that quality will always be quality no matter how little credit it gets.
