Two New from the L.A.A.W.


If you are looking for something off the beaten track, well L.A. Ale Works has a pair of off-kilter beers for you.

Last Friday saw the release of Chanterelle mushroom porter. Adding a “Woody-earthiness combine to bring forth this truly unique take on our classic Parliament Porter.”

Coming after that will be “several local fruit variations of our Lievre Saison including Guava, Kumquat/Calamansi, and Huckleberry.”

And if you just want the warm embrace of PSL then there is a special version of the California Cowboy, called Lil’ Pumpkin Boy.

Elvis to Francis


Brewdog doesn’t seem to ever sit still long enough to pin them down. From beers to PR to design. Speaking of, they have done all three with this small batch beer. Talk about a cool can design. And a name. I have always wondered how some people think so strangely different from me. Most of the time that is good. Especially in this case.

Oh and the beer is a coconut-ish porter….”A porter of papal proportions, [with] aromas of cocoa powder, vanilla bean, coconut, and bitter chocolate, with hints of roasty black coffee and dark fruit, followed by a smooth, velvety mouthfeel and a rich, bittersweet finish.

Cherries and Almonds

NB_cherry_almond_ale_12oz_label
I am all for cherry beers. When they are hitting on all cylinders you can get a lovely bright cherry pie note and a dose of tart. But what happens when you add darker malt and almonds?

The experimentation at New Belgium continues apace with this fruit & nut beer that will hopefully veer away from the marzipan notes that almonds sometimes bring.

Pretty Things – new bitter

The Ale Project of Pretty Things has a new beer, Hedgerow Bitter, described as “…our first properly-hoppy beer. We wanted a beer that was dry and bitter, and that’s what we got. 5.4% abv with all UK grown hedgerow variety hops: Pioneer, First Gold and Sovereign.”

I’ve had one Pretty Things ale and now I want more!

New Belgium news

New_Belgium_Brewery_LogoHeard this info through the hop vine…

Just in time for the coming Autumn, New Belgium Brewing Co. is back with a new brew. Hoptober Golden Ale is the brewery’s take on a fall seasonal, compete with crushed leaves, hoarded acorns, and a bit of squirrel fur. Or maybe not. But it does feature five types of hops:
The wide array of hops include Centennial, Cascade, Sterling, Willamette, and Glacier hops, while pale and wheat malt are mashed with rye and oats. The medley of ingredients sparks a bonfire of citrus notes, fruity cheers, and a bold finale.
