(That Siren was keg BTW, as is this). Much better, and I knew it would be - @ElusiveBrew Juxtapose Black IPA 6%. This being on was the main reason I came in tonight and it was justified. #BIPAComeback.

Three dark beers this evening with 2 from New Zealand sandwiching a British beer. First up Urbanaut Black IPA at 5.6%. Decent. @tabamatu #BIPAComeback

First brew of the year - batch 108 - Shadow Beast of the Oregon Trail - a West Coast Black IPA (with 15g of pine needles at 60 mins and 40g at flameout). Thanks for the inspiration @tabamatu and @ArtBrew #homebrew #bipacomeback #westcoast

@ArtBrew planning on making a West Coast Black IPA at the weekend and toying with the idea of adding some real ‘pine’ type flavours. As the resident Christmas tree beer expert, any suggestion on how much to add to a 10L batch? #homebrew #bipacomeback

For those that are wondering - it turns out to be the Black IPA. Might have to dig out a bottle of the (clearly labelled) impy next… #homebrew #homebrewer #bipacomeback

@martinmeany @beerminister looks great, #BIPAComeback

Following some research last night (The Kernel Indian Export Porter), it’s going to be a reworked version of my Fade to Black clone with more roasted malts. Any thoughts on water chemistry? #homebrewing #bipacomeback #indianexportporter

Trying to decide what to brew at the weekend. An old favourite or a variation in the form of an India Export Porter… #bipacomeback #homebrewer

@beerfaerie welcome! Love Elusive... #bipacomeback
