Scot Blair knows good beer.
With four beloved SoCal beer bars to his cred, the longtime champion of San
Diego’s craft beer scene was a natural fit as Beer Person of the Year in our
inaugural Imbibe 75 issue. We recently checked in with Blair to see which brews
are currently filling his glass, and today’s Drink of the Week—the Palate
Wrecker from Green Flash Brewing—is one of his top picks. The perfect
mid-winter palate pick-me-up, this double IPA offers a huge hop wallop (they
use six pounds of hops per barrel) and flavors of citrus peel, pine and subtle
caramel malt on the finish. “Palate Wrecker is arguably Chuck Silva’s most
irresponsible beer,” says Blair, “and I mean that in the most affectionate
way!” Released earlier this week, the Palate Wrecker is currently making its
way onto shelves across the country but will only stay put until early spring. Greenflashbrew.com
