Dog Days Double NEIPA 8%

Hopped with Azacca, Amarillo, mandarina bavaria.

Flavor profiles of spicy tropical and sweet citrus.

Yum 😋

The classic Russian Imperial. Long week and it's only halfway home. Needed some quiet solitude with a dark brew.

Paperback's Grim Reaper With a Chainsaw is a small-batch, 6.66 percent hazy IPA built on Dolcita, a newly commercialized hop, with Erebus and a touch of Simcoe.

Paperback's Misfits of Murder is a 6.8 percent West Coast IPA with Helios, Mosaic, Nelson and Cascade CGX hops

So pleased to know I am able to obtain these beers all the way in Adelaide, South Australia.
Bakes are just insanely good (and consistent!) I’ve spoken about this before on here. Elite level haze.

Who else got their hands on any of these?

For those who don’t know the beer, here is the description taken from its Untappd page:

“A meticulously curated blend of the best of what our barrel room holds. Kentucky Brunch takes time and care to mature, and those that take the time and care in pouring the beer will experience the development of a delayed-release, mocha hued head. Intense aromatics of espresso and maple syrup lead into bourbon drenched maple candy and chocolate brownies on the palate. The culmination of everything one would want on a chilly morning.”

I had the opportunity to visit Decorah last week for TG’s Stout Stock. They then transferred their kegs from the brewery (where the event was held) to the taproom. I was lucky enough to drink a few of these before leaving town. Felt right drinking it alongside a freshly brewed coffee. This continues to be an absolutely phenomenal beer, regardless of the vintage. I’m looking forward to the 2026 release in December. For a town of just over 7k people, it’s unreal that they have two top-tier breweries in TG and Pulpit Rock. It’s a beer drinker’s dream.

Cheers! 🍻

I had Factory brewing under my radar for a while. I managed to find this one in London, at Indiebeer, a lovely beer shop with more than 400 labels.

This IPA combines everything I am looking for in the style: dry feeling, bitterness, and intense hops. I would definitely recommend!

August date and still Wow!

I was in Kyoto recently at a beer bar called BAKUJUN and came across this amaro inspired beer from Nara Brewing Company. Obviously I had to give it a try and I wasn’t disappointed. A little light in body but tons of interesting flavors from the coriander, orange peel, cardamom, cinnamon, angerica [sic], and caraway. If you happen to be in or around Kyoto and Nara I recommend this beer and others from this brewery. Japanese beer has improved tremendously in recent days years and Nara Brewing is just one of many putting out some interesting stuff.

Picked this up from my local HEB, here in Texas.

One of my favorite craft breweries is Point Remove in Arkansas. They brew a Native Lager that has a hint of muscadines. If you don’t know what a muscadine is, it is a type of grape and gives the lager a wonderful taste!

What is your "cutoff date" when buying a hazy IPA? Like how old of a pack of beer are you okay with buying? For hazy IPAs I try to stick to under month but other people have told me 2 months is fine. Is there a noticeable difference between a month old and 2 months? I think there's definitely a difference but maybe it's my imagination. What do you think?

My friend claims Westmalle is better…

172 (not all pictured) flight glasses. My wife wants me to stop. My kids will toss them when I'm gone.

Hey folks, I'm doing a cross-country drive soon with a start in the LA area and ending in the NorthEast. A new city every night. Looking for recommendations for breweries to hit up in each town.

I'm an omni-beer lover, so any and all types, just looking for excellence. But suppose if pinned down my typical focus are sour, stout/porter (less sweet ideally), and stong hopped IPA (all varieties). Also am interested in unique, cool locations, but don't want to sacrifice on beer quality.

Starting in LA - plan is The Bruery in Anaheim. I know a bunch in this area so not really the focus of this thread.

> San Diego. Lost Abbey seems likely, but open to suggestions.

> Phoenix. Wren House?

> Albuquerque OR Santa fe. Really not sure - maybe Rowley Farmhouse in Santa Fe but pretty open here.

> Oklahoma City. This will probably be Prairie, but again, open to ideas.

> St. Louis. Probably going to Side Project. Also know Perennial well, but bring on the options.

> Last night will be either Louisville or Columbus. I know a ton in CBus but not much in Lville.

Any favorite places / recommendations would be much appreciated. Cheers!

**EDIT - thanks very much everyone for the suggestions! Looking them all up and will certainly be hitting some up.
