Three Floyds Dreadnaught

Dreadnaught by Three Floyds Brewing Company is one of those American Imperial IPA that has lore that has grown to epic proportions behind it. Rightfully so has it one fine beer. As most Three Floyds beers Dreadnaught has a huge helping of hops and then five more.

I had Dreadnaught on tap while out to dinner with a friend after we had a serving of Double Jack by Firestone Walker Brewing Company. After having them side by side and in spite of actually rating Dreadnaught higher than Double Jack, Double Jack was the winner. Both Chuck and I agreed.

I will always appreciate another Dreadnaught and I am on the continual lookout for another. Enjoy!
