What Others Are Saying:

As much as we’ve seen Noel pop up on blog after blog and list after list, this is probably the most unique review we’ve seen!— Jolly Pumpkin Cafe & Brewery, Facebook

Sayeth the Guys:

Short’s says:

“Beer brewed with marshmallow and lactose with lime and graham crackers added.”

Short’s Key Lime Pie Fruit Beer, 5.75% ABV

Sayeth the Guys:

Karl: I’m afraid that Short’s might have shot themselves in the foot with some of their special releases.  When Ryan told me that he picked up something new [...]

Review: Dogfish Head Bitches Brew

Dogfish Head says:

“In honor of the 40th anniversary of the original release of Bitches Brew, Miles Davis’ 1970 paradigm-shifting landmark fusion breakthrough, we’ve created our own Bitches Brew – a bold, dark beer that’s a fusion of three threads imperial stout and one thread honey beer with gesho root, a gustatory analog to [...]

Review: Founders Nemesis 2010

nemesis1

Founders says:

“The 2010 release of Nemesis is best described by our brewing team as ‘a dark barley wine that pours black with a subtle mahogany hue. Brewed with 5 malts and no shortage of hops for a pleasantly bitter booming flavor. Roasty and toasty with a multitude of tastes that melts on your [...]

FACEOFF: Bell’s The Oracle vs Kalamazoo Hopsolution Ale

oraclehopsolution

Bell’s The Oracle vs Kalamazoo Hopsolution Ale Double IPA vs Double IPA 10.4% ABV vs 8.4% ABV

We haven’t done a faceoff for quite a while, and we love the idea of making beers defend themselves against their similar bretherens. You’ll remember that last time we forced Bell’s Hopslam to go head-to-head against the [...]

Review: Clear Creek Ice – We Drink It So You Don’t Have To

That URL is a damnable lie.

Minhas Craft Brewery Says:

Nothing. Perhaps they know better.

That URL is a damnable lie.

Clear Creek Ice Malt Liquor, 6.20% ABV

Sayeth the Guys:

Karl: I was at 7-11 the other night, grabbing some Sleepyhead for the beloved insomniac in my life (seriously, try it), when I saw a guy in front [...]

Review: Ballast Point Sculpin India Pale Ale

Ballast Point says:

“The Sculpin is a testament to our humble beginnings as Home Brew Mart. It showcases bright flavors and aromas of apricot, peach, mango & lemon. The lighter body also brings out the crispness of the hops.”

Ballast Point Sculpin India Pale Ale American IPA, 7% ABV

Sayeth the Guys:

Karl: I’m [...]

Review: New Holland Red Citra

newhollandredcitra

New Holland says:

“This is a hoppy, sweet red ale. Hazy red glow with a creamy, dense head. Aroma is bursting with sweet pineapple and tangerine zest . Caramel, raisin and prune lie under a dominant citrus flavor profile…. Tropical fruit, tangerine, pineapple and a touch of pine are left on the palate. Hoppy [...]

Review: Half Acre Long Thai Rainbow Rye

Half Acre says:

“This Saison was brewed with Long Thai Peppercorns and Rye. You’ll find some ample spice in the nose moving toward a crisp malt frame and dry rye finish. This beer is prepared to go toe to toe with summer, and summer doesn’t stand a chance.”

Half Acre Long Thai Rainbow Rye [...]

Review: New Holland Lanterne Rouge

Not sure why the condensation drops are green. Weird.

Not sure why the condensation drops are green. Weird.

New Holland says:

“This is a coppery colored hoppy Belgian Ale. It was fermented with a Belgian Trappist yeast which created an estery aroma flavor, such as bubblegum, clove and banana. The Vienna and wheat malts used provides a sweet neutral bread-like base and a [...]
