The July issue of TAPS is now available with a new logo and look to the magazine.  In addition to the new look and feel, the magazine will now be published bi-monthly instead of quarterly.

The Maritime brewing scene is well represented in the issue as usual (our friends in Newfoundland not so much).  The Bar Snacks section of the magazine includes news related to Acadie-Broue, PEI Brewing Co., Pump House Brewery, Moosehead and Bridge Brewing Company.  New Brunswick based writer Craig Pinhey has an article on high IBU beers and an article on Atlantic Canadian waterside pubs which includes the Hart & Thistle, Artisan Cafe & Brewpub (Shiretown Beer) and the Rare Bird Pub & Eatery (Authentic Seacoast Brewing Company).  The Tasting Panel features two reviews of Propeller Double IPA.  (My thoughts on this beer:  Holy Hops Batman!  If you haven’t tried it yet you owe it to yourself).

Hart & Thistle is releasing version 2.0 of its Hop Rock Candy Mountain today at 11:00 AM.  The beer is described as:

an East Coast style India Pale Ale brewed with copious amounts of Citra and Columbus hops. A redux of a classic H&T brew from days gone past. The hefty melange of grains utilized in the brew lend some serious underlying malt balls, a candied-malt complexity that is like, well, a Hop-Rock-Candy-Mountain of goodness.

Hope Mess Monster v3.0 with its 1210 calculated theoretical IBUs is expected to be available in the near future.
