A few highlights of the destruction that happened in April.
-
- Brew Free or Die IPA by 21st Amendment Brewing Company. This is a nice hop forward IPA leaning towards the west coast style.
-
- Lower De Boom Barleywine by 21st Amendment Brewing Company. A big beer in a little can. This a great format for a beer of this caliber abv. This beer tastes somewhere between an American style and English style barley wine. It has a nice hop bite with a bit of sweetness.
-
- Freckle Belly IPA by Back Fourty Beer Company in Gadsden, Alabama. Balanced IPA, nuttin crazy.
-
- Insanity Oak aged barley wine by Weyerbacher. It’s a big one!
-
- Heresy Imperial Stout aged in Whiskey Barrels. Some tasty shizzz.
-
- Hops Session an ?Anglo-American? IPA by White Birch Brewing. This was kind of a malt bomb for an IPA, I was surprised.
-
- Up the Creek IIIPA by Thomas Creek. This thing is big a sweet like an English barley wine.
-
- Mosaic single hop red rye IPA by Terrapin Beer Co. is smooth and slightly sweet with a hint of blueberry on the nose.
-
- Hopzilla by Terrapin Beer Co. Big hoppy mofo.
-
- Lowryeder IPA by SweetWater Brewing Company. I bombed several of these with wet citra hop cones. They then exploded with hoppy goodness in my glass.
-
- So Fine Red Wheat Wine 16 Anniversary beer by Sweet Water Brewing Company. If you like a big sweet barley wine or wheat wines then you need to try this tasty treat.
-
- Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale by Stone Brewing Company. This is a ballsy timeless classic from the west coast.
-
- Enjoy By 05.17.13 IPA by Stone Brewing Company. Fresh pine and dirty dankness beat up your pallet when you sip this bad boy. You need to get on this Enjoy By biz cause its so good. Hurry up and drink ’em if you got ’em because they will self destruct on the 18th!
-
- Ruthless Rye by Sierra Nevada Brewing Company.
-
- Celebration by Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. I love this fresh hop IPA.
-
- Bigfoot Barley Wine by Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Another one by Sierra Nevada that I can’t get enough of. If you haven’t tried it, you need to. Seriously.
-
- Gangway IPA by Red Hare Brewing Company. This beer grew up when the brewery started canning it because that is when they started dry hopping the beer and it really stepped this balanced IPA up a notch.
-
- Gubna Imperial IPA by Oscar Blues Brewery. This oniony IIPA will kick your mouth in the nuts!
-
- Lagunitas Sucks by Lagunitas Brewing Company. Lagunitas doesn’t suck cause they brewed this badass west coast style IPA. Maybe a IIPA? it’s on the cusp.
-
- Maximus IPA by Lagunitas Brewing Company.
-
- The Big DIPA by Heavy Seas Brewing Company. This is a smooth, malty, earthy, oaky, spicey, herbal treat. This taint no west coast IIPA.
-
- Curmudgeon’s Better Half by Founders Brewing Company. Old Ale Brewed with Molasses and Aged in Maple syrup Bourbon Barrels. This was fanfuckingtastic. I can only hope to try this one again if it makes it back my way. It went awesome with my breakfast btw…
-
- Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) a Chocolate and Coffee Bourbon Barrel aged breakfast stout by Founders Brewing Company. Dude, do I really need to say more than KBS?
-
- Breakfast Stout by Founders Brewing Company. This is my year round pre-noon goto stout. You’ll have to stock it up tp make it year round yourself though as it is only a seasonal. Double Chocolate, Coffee, Oatmeal, Oh my.
-
- Backwoods Bastard by Founders Brewing Company. Another Barrel aged winner from the fine folks at Founders.
-
- All Day IPA by Founders Brewing Company. I have been drinking the shit out of these. They go down way to easy. Light body and citrusy hop flavor.
-
- Russian Roulette Black IPA by Evil Twin Brewing. It was a big roasty black IPA.
-
- The Corruption IPA by DC Brau Brewing.
-
- Racer 5 IPA by Bear Republic Brewing Co. This was a little maltier than expected being from the west coast but it was damn good.
