Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the Black Samurai I.P.A.!





I took a couple of brews up to Dave at Coast Brewery in North Charleston so he could help me decipher the ABV (Alcohol By Volume) and he gave me quite encouraging words being this is only my second batch of beer: that either I am extremely lucky or that I was born to brew. Perhaps it is a blend of both. I made this in the true India Pale Ale form-hoppy and high in alcohol (6.2%). The label was inspired by a Japanese artist-not sure, I need to check with my art school sister "Little E" on that one. And the name, Black Samurai was inspired by Alpha Blondy's song "Black Samourai" which happened to be what I was jamming to as I was bottling this fine beer and couldn't come up with a name.
