I have a laundry list of styles that I wish I saw more of in production or even just special release, on that list is the imperial pilsner. Thankfully, Dogfish Head has one out now that I will certainly be on the lookout for…
Super Doppio a “leveled-up Italian-style Imperial pilsner.”
If you are a Mai Tai fan, Paperback Brewing right here in Glendale has a new sour ale out for you, Tiki Tini.
You will get sweet lime, pineapple and cherry notes. If you are like me, you like that fruit salad mix and we all need to get our sour ale drinking done.
For Angelenos needing a Triple IPA fix, Absolution Brewing in Torrance has a Wicked one for you in two days…
Amburana is used quite frequently to finish bourbon but The Bruery is taking their Black Tuesday base to create Amburana Noir, a double barrel-aged imperial stout aged in both Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels and Amburana wood barrels. The beer will register at a super high 20.7%.
Uncle Nearest Distilling has been doing the bourbon thing and gaining accolades for it but now they reach into Tennessee Whiskey. A lower proof whiskey for the godfather of Tennessee whiskey at a more approachable proof.
It will be interesting to compare it to Jack.
As much as I enjoy both Bourbon and Bourbon barrel-aged beers, I like to see alternative barrels being used which is why I am highlighting this upcoming release from The Bruery…
There is another entrant in the Cold IPA shelf, this time from noted hoppy beer maker, Drakes in the Bay Area.
Just look for the pink can with the Eugene O’Neill tinted name,
Still not understanding the hatred of vowels in business and brand names but setting that aside, Three Weavers is launching an RTD line-up called GRDN PRTY. These are cocktail-inspired flavored malt beverages. No spirits here. The cans started into distribution on July 17 but you can head to their taproom in Inglewood to get any or all the three flavors, which are: Pineapple Sage, Lemonade, Grapefruit Guava Rosemary and Juniper Lemon Cucumber.
Usually when I post anything regarding Pizza Port, it revolves around the IPA or the pizza. But they can and do other styles such as the Czech-Style pils going by the rhyming name of Pier Beer.
Two Belgian brewing pals have come together for a new collaboration. Ommegang and New Belgium present Belgian Essence, a “Belgian-style Tripel Ale” which “is a blend of old-world tradition with a new-world twist! It’s bright, citrusy, effervescent, and incredibly drinkable.”
