Mad Anthony IPA
Mad Anthony is a brewery out of our very own Fort Wayne Indiana. One can only assume that Mad Anthony got their name from the General the town of Fort Wayne is named after, Anthony Wayne. Their IPA caught my attention recently when I wanted some awesome hops but didn’t want to go to my normal Alpha King or Two Hearted. Since this was several bucks cheaper I decided I had a winner.
It wasn’t until later on that night I realized I really had a winner. From the minute I smelled the sweet stickiness of this beer and the citrus hops that complement it’s golden color I knew for sure this beer would be awesome. I’m not sure how Mad Anthony has escaped me for the past few years considering they’ve been around since 1999. Perhaps they just started bottling. I’m glad it’s here now though.
The taste you’re going to get on this is something of a hop blast to the back of the throat. Hop lovers will like Mad Anthony’s IPA but even some of you Hop Heads will be broken by this beast. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart. Still, if you can get your hands on this, and you should be able to, you should give it a try. I found mine at my local “we sell a few microbrews but don’t get any special stuff in week-to-week” liquor store.
