East India Pale Ale Brooklyn Brewery ABV: 6.9% When the Beastie Boys rocked the shit outta Brooklyn they were probably drinking this stuff… This EIPA is very drinkable. It would seem that Brooklyn Brewery made a conscious choice to inject all the hoppy aroma and bitter flavor to add character to an otherwise very well [...]

17th Anniversary – Wood Aged – Double IPA – Great Divide Brewing Co
Style: Double IPA Brewery: Great Divide Brewing Co ABV: 10% So as some of you may or may not know, I work with design on a regular basis. Normally that doesn’t come into play with things beer until this time. I was about to walk up to the counter and pay for a different bottle, [...]
Rye IPA – Bootleggers Brewing
Style: American IPA Brewery: Bootleggers Brewery ABV: 6.2% This IPA is a good solid beer that’s great for a summer day. This one was an easy drinker for me. You’re not going to find anything crazy or complex with this one. Though you may notice a small hop bite when you take that first sip. [...]

Once upon a time, some hippy type fellas in Colorado decided to fool around with beer recipes. These dudes were artists, brewers, and naturalists.

Zoe – Maine Beer Company
Zoe – American Amber Ale Maine Beer Company ABV: 7.2% One of the most complex but balanced ales I’ve had in quite some time. First off, this beer was served to me in a tall wine glass. Excellent for admiring its color. It poured into the glass with a moderate off-white head that reminded me [...]
My Antonia – Dogfish Head
My Antonia – Imperial Pilsner Dogfish Head ABV: 7.5% I enjoyed a couple on a recent trip to Boston while sitting in the sunshine on a patio in the South End. Gotta say, it is was the perfect touch to a gorgeous day. It poured a fluffy thick slightly off-white head with a lemony golden [...]
