Bed Head a great brew for beer and coffee lovers

It all started with a sample at Crystal Beer Parlor and has blossomed into a full-blown affair. For a bald guy, I must confess to spending a lot of quality drinking time lately with Bed Head, the hair-raising, coffee-infused, hop-loaded Double/Imperial India Pale Ale produced by Monday Night Brewing Co. in Atlanta. Bed Head simply beguiles you with its balance, a rare trait in the DIPA category. The coffee comes from Batdorf & Bronson, a gourmet company that has outlets in Washington state and Georgia, and it tastefully, elegantly mellows Bed Head’s 75 IBUs. The hops are evident, particularly at first, but the finish is cool and fruity, a unique fusion of hops and coffee beans that’s reminiscent of a tall glass of iced coffee. Still, with an ABV of 8.4 percent, a little caution is necessary here. It’s called Bed Head for a reason.
