Gandy dancer is a slang term used for early railroad workers in the United States, more formally referred to as "section hands", who laid and maintained railroad tracks in the early years. Section crews were often made up of recent immigrants and ethnic minorities who vied for steady work despite poor wages and working conditions, and hard physical labor. Though all Gandy dancers sang railroad songs, it may be that African American Gandy dancers from the Southern United States, with a long tradition of using song to coordinate work, were unique in their use of task-related work chants. These are the people who build the foundation for the American dream. This Imperial IPA is bridging East Cost with West Coast, and thereby combining the traditional West Coast IPA with the new and hip New England IPA. Semi dry, hazy and loaded with Mosaic, Citra and Hallertau Blanc for bitterness but also juicy fruitiness. Keep cold and drink fresh!
