The Bistro, at the corner of B and Main, is holding their 6th annual Double IPA (India Pale Ale) Festival, 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, on Saturday, February 11th. A time for hopheads to get together.
Double IPA is "double-hopped" ale that has very strong hops flavors, and very high alcohol content, say, 8.00% to 9.50% ABV (alcohol by volume). More commentary on DIPAs are available at this SFBeer.org page.
Some of the inventive names brewers name their doubles include: Maximus, Ruination, Devil Dancer, Pliny the Elder, Pliny the Younger, Dreadnaught, and so on.

Hop to see you there ;-)
