Sunday Night Suds - Jailbreak Brewing Poor Righteous IPA

This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Jailbreak Brewing's Poor Righteous IPA.

What, a kosher beer with a pig on the label? Yes, not only a pig but a Star-K as well! This is one of the older styles from the good folks at Jailbreak Brewing in Laurel, Maryland. I had a chance to visit the brewery and its tap room and came away very impressed (see post here for my thoughts on my visit back in 2015 - https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2015/01/sunday-night-suds-jailbreak-brewing-big.html).

If you read the LOC on the Star-K website you will see that there are many interesting varieties of Jailbreak beers, including some that are Star-D such as the Carrot Cake Conspiracy and Chocolate Coconut Porter. Unfortunately, most of the interesting brews are only available on site or by specialty keg order and even their mainstream canned brews cannot be found outside of the Beltway area.

The Poor Righteous poured a ark orange with quite a bit of foam and lacing. The beer has spicy hop bite which mixes nicely with the citrus. At 6.5% abv it is about average for an IPA and there is not an overwhelming alcohol flavor. Although I had this beer after dinner tonight, I suspect that it would go well with charred meat dishes such as burgers and steaks.

Jailbreak Brewing Poor Righteous is certified kosher by the Star-K.
