Ep 41: Hoppy Poppy IPA by Figueroa Mountain Brewing Company | W/ Guest Jessica Piazza by Friends Drink Beer published on 2018-02-05T14:12:48Z This week, we try ‘Hoppy Poppy IPA’ by Figueroa Mountain Brewing Company. This balanced IPA is bursting with floral notes along with citrus, pine, and a hint of poppy seeds. It has bright aromas of orange oil, lemon zest, pine needles, and grapefruit. The taste is finished by a lingering bitterness. On Friends Drink Beer this episode- we sit with poet, Jessica Piazza. Jessica reads us one of her favorite poems, and we talk about some of her pet peeves when it comes to writing and why all the titles of her poetry seem to dance around a phobia theme. We discuss meeting the oldest tree Kangaroo named Paul, dating someone who owns a wand and is convinced it works, and we also answer some advice on dealing with parents who expect grandchildren despite this not being your wish. Enjoy another sit down with Friends Drink Beer! To learn more about Jessica, or to read her books. They are are available on Amazon, at the Red Hen Press and Black Lawrence press websites, and via her website at: www.jessicapiazza.com.
