New Belgium Brewing Rampant IPA

Beer Reviews
Rampant Imperial IPA is everything hop fans have come to expect from
 the style with a little something extra–a surprisingly reasonable
 price. Rampant can stand toe-to-toe with the biggest, meanest IPAs in
 the store. This ode to bitterness is first and foremost a floral
 experience. The herbaceous front reminds me as much of Campari as it
 does any form of pale ale. The malt is present, but minimal, leaving 
the hops center stage. If you’re a fan of the spicier Mosaic hop, or â... Read More

Brewery Ommegang Hennepin

Beer Reviews
One of my personal favorite Saisons, Ommegang’s Hennepin delivers plenty of flavor yet is still refreshing in the Texas heat. One of the classic American Saisons, Hennepin exhibits the spicy overtones of freewheeling Belgian-style fermentation and the ripe juicy apple and pear tones of an especially friendly farmhouse ale. If intensity is your thing, this one just might be a good alternative to barleywine and DIPA when high temperatures are a factor. ABV: 7.7% Ready to Try it?
Left Hand Polestar Pilsner

Left Hand Brewing Company Polestar Pilsner

Beer Reviews
Left Hand’s Polestar Pilsner is one of the most easily overlooked 
beers in the stores. This warm-weather gem comes in a six-pack so 
evocative of a cold clear night that it would be more appropriate as 
a winter warmer. Instead, this is one of the lightest, most refreshing
 craft brews in the store. Just hoppy enough to keep you thirsty, Polestar is easily one of my all-time favorite pilsners. Perfect
 anytime you’re out in the heat somewhere you don’t have to bring cans. ABV: 5... Read More

Avery Brewing • White Rascal

Beer Reviews, Summer Reviews
While you’ll have no trouble finding an aggressive IPA, a
 double stout or Scotch ale in cans these days, the milder more 
sessionable craft styles seem to be much less plentiful. Happily, Avery’s can release of White Rascal is bucking this trend. One of my 
favorite American wheats, White Rascal is slightly spicier than the 
average wheat beer, but quite refreshing compared to the hop and malt 
bombs next to it on the craft can shelf. Do yourself a favor and get this 
one into a... Read More
Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale

Dogfish Head Brewery Indian Brown Ale

Beer Reviews
Indian Brown Ale is my favorite everyday drinking brew from Dogfish Head. While I enjoy most of their beers, this is one of the few I can have more than one or two of without having to switch things up. Basically a fusion beer of the IPA, brown ale and Scotch ale styles, Indian Brown Ale is the best-balanced, widely available Dogfish product. Malty-sweet, bitter and smoky on the end, this one has more than a little bit of everything and is one of the most well-rounded big beers around. If you’... Read More
