Thought it Was Orange

I am going through a bit of a phase where I am in search of traditional solid examples of styles.  I enjoy the creative impulse that brewers are following but it seems to be a bit aggressive at times.  Maybe a plain Wit won’t sell even with the combined might of Terrapin and New Belgium but why make a Dark Wit, then add rye, then “Imperialize” it and then barrel age it?  Seems over the top to me.  The Rye Wit sounds better to me.

When It Rains, It Let’s Pours – Part the 3rd

The last of three large boxes from Let’s Pour (THANKS K!) arrived at BSP HQ recently and yet another bonanza of beer-y goodness was revealed.  This time centered on the SE portion of the brewing country.

We start with Cigar City…..

There is some good drinking ahead for me!
