New Brew Thrusday: 'Thank You (2019)' from Maine Beer Company

Years ago when I was working at a liquor store in Boston, Brookline Liquor Mart, I would typically work on Thursdays when some of our new beer would come in and I would try to buy something new that I had never had before in the name of exploration and to better serve the customers. I still carry on this tradition in order to push my own horizons and to keep exploring the world of craft beer. However, I often buy new beers all the time and now I try to save them for a Thursday rather than just buying them on Thursdays. Now, I share that tradition with you and start with the appropriately named Thank You from Maine Beer Company.

Thank You 2018 from Maine Beer Company is a very, very nice IPA that I purchased at the brewery a few months ago. It is a very floral and piney smelling IPA with the taste to match it. It also has a very bitter finish that will linger on your tongue for minutes afterwards. It's got a fairly light mouthfeel as well and is a relatively simple and non-complex taste for a very good east coast style of IPA. On Untappd (profile on the right) I gave it a four out of five. A beer I would definitely recommend because while it is not an overpoweringly hoppy IPA if you like an IPA with a good, solid hop taste that is a little boozy (7% and it does not taste like it) this is a solid bet.
