Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
Been a bit of an uptick in beer podcasts to listen to, and here is another one…
I have my qualms with some pieces on Good Beer Hunting but laws and beers is a rich topic to cover, so I will be giving Source Material a listen.
P.S. – Listened to episode 1 and boy does history have pockets of wacky stuff hidden away.
Two more from Eureka Brewing to review (one of which is a bit long in the date tooth)…
West Coast Drift – big, big pineapple aroma and flavor. Like opening a can of pineapple in pineapple juice. Medium low haze in the glass. Overall nice strong bitterness to balance the juice notes.
Double Bogey DIPA – This one was canned in late January so a tad out of date. Sweet tart meets alcohol. Strong but not super bitter. I would like to taste a fresh one for comparison.
Offshoot Beer Co. has a couple of romantic tinged IPAs for that summer wedding….
Once Upon a Time is a Hazy IPA bursting with flavor with enchanting aromas of watermelon, hard candy, and a mix of tropical fruits with a citrus kiss. One taste of this tropical medley, mixed with a hint of sweet jolly ranchers and a long citrus peel finish, and you’ll be ready for any adventure. ⠀
Happily Ever After is a West Coast IPA, pouring a clear straw color that you might just spin into gold. With bewitchingly delicious citrus and pine aromas, the palate rings true to style with a classic piney, earthy, dank flavor, finishing with a citrus medley. ⠀
The second of the Three Weavers featured reviews is Light Trails IPA. Getting quite a bit of grape character to this one Soft texture here as well, the bitterness is nicely understated. The aroma is very red wine barrel. Not the usual aroma which wakes up the senses. Overall, a very tannic experience, the IPA for wine fans.
If you missed the first go round, Burnin’ Daylight Brewery is re-releasing their 2nd Anniversary beer. According to the brewery, Burn 2 is a West Coast style IPA “hopped with Strata and Citra”.
The Portland Trailblazers had the 16th and 46th picks in this year’s NBA Draft. A draft considered thin at the top but with potential gems of prospects. Then Robert Covington happened and suddenly we Blazer fans got some depth and defense that we could really use.
Lillard’s team selected with their remaining 2nd rounder….
That means I get to highlight a couple Palouse breweries that you could visit if you happen to be in Pullman.
Now it is time to dream of NBA success in the shortened 20/21 season.
You can supply your own words to match up with the F and the B but for Stone it means Features and Benefits. In this case, the health conscious drinker. This new IPA is under 100 calories and finishes at a mere 4% ABV AND is gluten reduced as well.
If you missed the first California Craft Beer Summit Experience Box O’ Beer. Get shopping now! Right HERE.
10 CA breweries offering up a great beer from their portfolio. Makes a perfect Christmas gift and will arrive on Dec. 16
You have probably noticed that the site looks different. Behind the scenes work is taking place. Migrating, theme changes and other blog terms that I have a passing acquaintance with.
BSP will continue to post content as the packaging gets a refresh.
Thanks for reading and a big shout out to Loren Kling who has kept this site functioning.
The labels for Institution Ale Company have been imaginative to say the least but they have found the right holiday to pair with the design for their fall seasonal DIPA. Both a creepy and fun vibe for a Cryo beer.
