Last night I tried another beer from Little Willow Brewing Company out of Florence, MA, their double dry hopped Snow Sculpture IPA.
With its Vera and Citra hops, this beer paired ridiculously well with the Black Forest ham and lacy Swiss cheese I was eating alongside the pints. And at 7.1% ABV it didn't pound me over the head with the alcohol content. There are so many great beers from this microbrewery that I highly recommend a visit if you're ever in that part of western Massachusetts. It's on my list for this summer!
I drank all four of the 16 oz can pack, and toward the end I decided to open and sample some dried squid (a favorite bar snack in South Korea) in three different flavors. The plain version was quite delicious, just the right degree of salty. The smoked variety was my favorite, such a great flavor to go along with the chewy texture. And the hot style was fantastic, so flavorful that it made my nose actually run, but in the best way possible (haha). If you're ever presented with dried squid, give it a try, especially if you already enjoy jerky or dried seafood of other types.
