Moon River Brewing

We stay in Georgia to get a taste of Moon River Brewing, they first came to my attention via BeerAmerica.TV 

They make a Wild Wacky Wit, Captain’s Porter, Savannah Fest, Swamp Fox IPA and Slow-vannah Pale Ale. What I like about them is that when you check out the beers on their website, right next to the beer description is a food pairing. I’m seeing that more and more but there’s is done pretty well.

Fifty Fifty Brewing

from Truckee California comes today’s brewery.

5050“Find Your Balance“. You can do that at 50 50 Brewing. They have Belgian inspired beers as well as the usual pale and IPA culprits like this beer that I recently had..
Rockslide IPA
If being in one of the coldest places in the US isn’t extreme enough, the contents of this beer may very well redefine your commitment to the pursuit of hops. Rockslide IPA is brewed in the ‘West Coast’ style with aggressive amounts of American hops such as Amarillo, Centennial and Summit hops. You are greeted with a full frontal assault of citrus/grapefruit/pine hop character, followed up with malt to balance the mouthfeel. This beer is all about hops.

65 IBU / 6.7% ABV

They are new to the Portland scene which seems full to bursting. Thanks to Brewpublic for getting the word out!

Black Hole Brewery

about_cta_over
I don’t highlight enough foreign breweries, which isn’t right,. I need to educate myself and my faithful readers about where to go while on vacation. So here goes…

Burton-on-Trent is known for the water but it is also the home of a nice amount of small brewers. Black Hole Brewery started life in the old Ind Coope bottling plant close to Burton town centre in January 2007.

These two beers intrigued me the most from their list…
Supa Nova
ABV 4.8%
Supa Nova is a premium pale ale brewed using lager malts with a top fermenting ale yeast. A variety of hops from Europe and America combine to provide a floral taste.

No Escape
ABV 5.2%
A combination of chocolate, crystal and roasted barley produce the subtle series of smooth flavours in this award winning dark beer, whilst a balance of dry bitterness and spicy aroma is achieved by a late hop of Goldings.
