Beer B.S. and Review Thread

It was a really tasty NEIPA! And I like the name a lot. It may or may not sit on the shelf a while for that reason

 

Brutal Beerworks | North Richland Hills, TX.
Black Is Beautiful | Imperial Coffee Stout
10% ABV

Ive been wanting to try this one and finally cracked it open. This is a collab with a local coffee shop down the road from me. Brutal used their espresso blend in this brew and it is tasty! Lots of coffee comes through and it is one solid stout! Brutal pushes out amazing sours, great to see they can kill stouts too.

 

Are these all from today?

 

Hahaha no, just the strawberry, Due East, and the BIB.

Was playing catch-up on the rest.

 

They make some solid brews!
They dropped a cake flavored sour today (I think) that sounds good!

 

Tomorrow it’s released to the public

 

Martin House Brewing | Fort Worth, TX.
Arnold Palmer Alert | Sweet tea and lemonade ale
5.2% ABV

I was soooooo excited for this one because I love tea. I was really hoping for a lot of tea and a little lemon to balance things out and make it taste like an Arnold Palmer. Unfortunately I didn’t get much of either. Almost zero lemon and the tea was so faint I couldn’t even really taste it
It really just tasted like plain beer more than anything. I mean, it was a great beer taste just not wha they described, nor what I was expecting.

 

Martin House Brewing | Fort Worth, TX.
The Imperial Texan | Double hopped red IPA
9% ABV

This was the very first local craft beer I tried after moving to TX, and it’s what really got me hooked. It’s a very hoppy, slightly bitter, imperial style IPA. The floral hop notes hit hard and it has great body with kind of a sweet honey-like aftertaste. One of my favorites hands down and an every-year seasonal brew for MH.

 

Something Brewery | Brighton, CO
Raspberry Cheesecake | Sour | 5.6%

I grabbed this on slushy (I’m getting a crowler to go for later to try it non slush) so my review is based on a slushy which will diff from a pour.

Strong raspberry with a small hint of cream cheese in but the raspberry it overpowering in the slushy form.

 

Avery Brewing | Boulder, CO
White Rascal | Wheat beer
5.6% ABV, 22 IBU

This brew has curaçao, orange peel, and coriander and you can taste hints of each. Not one flavor jumps out over another, it’s very well balanced and has a very mild flavor. Real light and crisp and easy to top back the whole tallboy.
Thanks @T-Rex266

 

Breckenridge Brewing | Littleton, CO.
Breck Lager | American Lager
4.5% ABV, 14 IBU

This is a really light drinker, and a great beer for hot weather. Crisp, easy, and a little fruity in the backend.

Thanks @T-Rex266

 

I thought it was pretty good. They make some solid brews, I’ve been a fan so far!

 

True story!
Plus I have my CO beer plugs for the Breckenridge stuff lol

 

I dont discriminate

 

And it’s not even their best orange cream beer!
This one is:

 

They made it earlier in the year and haven’t since, but I’m hoping they will again in spring next year!
They had tons of jellyfish at the taproom when I went on Friday

 

Ouray Brewing | Ouray, CO.
Summer Saison | Saison
5.29% ABV, N/A IBU

I can’t find a damn thing about what this beer has it anywhere. Ouray Brewing don’t have it listed on their site and untapped just has very basic reviews, so idk.
It tastes great though! I’m getting some spice notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and some barely flavors too. It’s really light and a great saison style brew. I’ve only recently come to appreciate his style of beer and I really enjoy them. 8/10! (but pricey as hell)

 

That sounds tasty, I love a good kolsch!
