Sean Suggests for May 2023

Staying SoCal local with three bigger picks than normal.  So come along to Venice, Anaheim, Long Beach and San Diego.

Firestone Walker Idaho Secret IPA -6.5% – “Limited-release West Coast IPA bursting with fruity and citrusy hop flavors of pineapple, blackberry, and mojito.  Idaho Gem & Vic Secret hops.”

Pure Project / Radiant Beer Co. Clearer Thinking – 8.5% – “bold and flavorful West Coast DIPA brewed in collaboration with the 2022 Alpha King Challenge winners, Radiant Beer Co. We experimented with new techniques to create this beer and, as our first centrifuged West Coast DIPA, we are extremely pleased with the final result. Its sensory profile is sure to impress, with aromas of resin, dehydrated pineapple, and grapefruit rind that grace the nose, and flavors of melon, dank, and apricot that are rounded out by a clean bitter finish on the palate.”

Beachwood Brewing Barrel-aged Vanilla Fudge – 11% – “Bourbon barrel-aged imperial milk stout infused with cacao and vanilla beans.”

Sean suggests for July 2013

It being hot and humid in July, here are some lighter beers for you to try ranging from Hawaii to California and then on to Belgium!
