This week I wanted to bring BBG into 2017 with a bang from two huge West Coast hop bombs to really get the year started.
I’ll start in the Nevada, with Joseph James’ Hop Box.
Joseph James is just southeast of Sin City in Henderson, Nevada. Founded back in 2008, they were/are the only production brewery in southern Nevada. They offer seven beers year round and four sessional brews that are available in just a few states (the Seattle area, LA, Phoenix, Denver, and, of course, Las Vegas).
As I have an affinity for hops, I didn’t opt for their rye pale ale…no, I went straight for the gold with their imperial IPA; Hop Box.
