Twinsburg’s May 2012 Picks
May is IPA month in Twinsburg, Ohio.  Accordingly, Michele provided three different IPA's for Twinsburg's evaluation.  The Great Lakes Brewing Company migrated from "Always the Bridesmaid" to Victor with a strong showing by Commodore Perry IPA.

1st – Great Lakes Brewing Company's Commodore Perry IPA

2nd - Sierra Nevada Hoptimum Whole-cone IPA

3rd - The Brew Kettle's Old 21 Imperial IPA
