Tap Handle #704: Parallel 49 - Filthy Dirty

Tap size:  10"
Rarity:  less than 10 seen
Mounting:  internal 3/8" nut

Filthy Dirty is the final entry in the series of posts I have done this past week spotlighting the incredible taps of Parallel 49 Brewing. It features a pig dressed in gear that appears to cement his self-made status as a "playa", from the cap and vest, rolled up pant legs and bands on the wrists, to the gold chain with Parallel 49 medallion around the character's neck. As with the other Parallel 49 taps, this one has rarely appeared on the secondary markey and commands a very high price when it does.

Parallel 49 Brewing's Filthy Dirty is a West Coast style IPA with a ton of hop flavor and aroma. Subtle sweet malt flavor backs up the huge amount of orange, grapefruit, pine and floral aromas this beer expels. It's time to get down and dirty. This West Coast IPA may be full of filthy amounts of fruity and tropical hop character, but it's nothing but clean on your palate. All those other IPAs are a boar...Filthy Dirty is here to hog the spotlight.
