Wow, the IPAs coming out of Nashville these days. Bhang Bhang is a DIPA from Mantra Artisan Ales in Franklin (a southern suburb, and where I live). Simcoe for days in this one, as well as mosaic and centennial. Dank, cloudy, fruity, piney goodness. Between Mantra, Southern Grist, Yazoo, Bearded Iris, Blackstone, and others, the IPA scene here has stepped up dramatically in the last year or two. This releases tomorrow, so if you are in the area, stop by Mantra for the noon release. I might be there helping/hindering the roast of some butternut squash and sweet potatoes for a one-off they are doing for the local beer fest, and I'll definitely be around Sunday when they fill their coolship for the first time. Great having a brewery right around the corner from the house.
