Thanks to LA Craft Beer ambassador Gev. Arizona is now off the list. Generously, I have two more beers from Nimbus to try. Old Monkeyshine and Dirty Guera. But for now, # 38 is complete!
Beaver Street Brewing
On to Arizona for the next stop on our southwestern hop spots, Beaver Street Brewery.
They have two 2009 GABF medals. Not to shabby in my opinion.
Silver for their Hopshot IPA and gold for their Big Rapid Red. I would suggest starting there.
I missed at Stone 13 – Boo
Here are their offerings…
Papago Orange Blossom Wheat Beer
Our most popular beer. A light American Wheat Ale flavored with Mandarin Orange and Vanilla. Like a liquid old fashioned creamsicle. 4.5% ABV
Papago El Robusto Porter
An Imperial Porter. Dark as night, rich and flavorful. One of our original beers since day one. A Bronze medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival. 8% ABV
Churchill’s Wheatwine
Strong like a barleywine but smooth because of the golden wheat used to brew it. Another one of our original beers. 9.6% ABV 60 IBU’s
Ryan’s Red Ale
An Irish Red Ale but really more of an Anglo-Irish Red Ale. Red and Malty like an Irish Red Ale but with a light dose of American hops. Named for our managing partner before she married a brewer and changed her name. 6% ABV
Papago Oude Zuipers
A truly authentic Belgian Tripel. “Old Drunk” is brewed for us in Belgium. Rich golden color, lots of Belgian yeast character. Very strong. 11% ABV
Papago Elsie’s Irish Coffee Milk Stout
An Irish car bomb in a glass. A rich milk stout with 1 pound of Irish Cream flavored coffee beans added per barrel. 5.5% ABV
