I guess the gift for a 27th anniversary is either a lemon or a shark. Either way Stone has a wide ranging array of hops in this new DIPA, including Riwaka, Peacharine, Mosaic as well as using Phantasm.
Stone Day – 27th Anniversary
For the Table
There are certain styles that I am glad to see come back around. Belgian Table beer is one of them and Offshoot Beer Co. has one coming out that you can’t miss on the shelf…
…though I would like to get a non prickly pear / hibiscus version.
Weaving an N/A
It has been a nine month journey but Three Weavers has three (fittingly) N/A beers in cans. Three months of work each is my math is right for a lager, Eest Coast IPA and a Hazy IPA.
To add more math, the near beers will be sold in six-packs.
No Nails
Firestone Walker ain’t resting on their IPA laurels, and here is an upcoming new IPA from the Central Coast brewery….
Sierra .05 Nevada
If anyone can get a near beer IPA right, it should be Sierra Nevada and if this upcoming offering…
…doesn’t hit the right bitter notes, then it is probably best to brew other N/A styles instead,
Spring into Sound
HiDef Brewing can put some spring into your step with a raspberry, peach and passion fruit combo sour ale, Spring Reverb.
Sour Day – Paperback Margarita
My gut biome and tequila don’t mix. Ditto for too much sour ale. Still, I have to admit that this Gose like sour from Paperback Brewing Co. has me intrigued.
Maybe it is the lime and coriander combo that is doing the heavy lifting for me.
Saison Dragon
Guivre is a dragon-like creature. But to beer fans it is the latest Saison from San Gabriel’s Ogopogo Brewing.
P&L Day – Reinheitsgebot 2023
Each year, Enegren Brewing releases a spring American Reinheitsgebot beer in collaboration with another pilsner friendly brewery, this year it is Firestone Walker.
“American Reinheitsgebot 2023 is a German Style Pilsner made with all American ingredients including malt from Admiral Maltings out of Alameda, CA and American grown HBC 1134 Hops, which are an American twist on classic Noble hops.”
P&L Day – Presented
Readers of this blog will know that I like me a clever name and Radiant Beer Co. have come up with a good one for their latest American-styled lager, My Presence is a Present.
The Anaheim brewery describes it as “…a crystal clear straw body with some tight white foam. I gift out aromas of cracker, mild malt, and delicate herbs. I’m an absolute treasure of crisp carbonation with a dry, clean profile.”
