Brews From The Home Of Craft Beer
Posted by Ian Chainey on 21st May 2020
Brews from the home of Craft Beer this week. None of these beers have a political affiliation, just bloody great brews.Today, there are over 7,005 craft breweries in the United States and the Industry is (was) turning over $22 billion annually. Native American tribes in what is now the United States brewed beer prior to European arrival, but didn't use barley.
Enjoy.
TOPPLING GOLIATH KING SUE 473ML
This lusciously hazy double IPA gains its hints of mango, orange, and pineapple from the use of the delicious Citra hop.
RateBeer: 100/100
AGAINST THE GRAIN 35K SWEET STOUT 473ML
Dark roasted malt and bittersweet cocoa and coffee flavor and aroma burst from this pitch black milk stout. The full body and sweetness are derived from the addition of lactose
RateBeer: 95/100
NOVO BRAZIL BOSSA HAZE 473ML
Text: Completely unfiltered, the velvety golden appearance is due to dissolved solids, protein, and yeast haze and the multiple grains used. The tropical fruit nose is just as tantalizing as the famous Bossa Nova music of Brazil.
RateBeer: 97/100
OFFSHOOT UNWIND HOPPY PILS 473ML
Refreshing and crushable Pils, dry-hopped with Citra, Nelson, Simcoe and Sterling.
Sink your teeth into this boldy decadent, freshly-baked imperial stout. This barrel-aged treat was brewed with old-fashioned oats and packed full of cinnamon, raisins, and granola for the perfect balance of sweetness, spice, and chocolatey richness, reminiscent of oatmeal cookies hot off the pan.
OFFSHOOT SURFACE HAZY IPA 473ML
Surface showcases the nuances of Enigma, Amarillo, Vics Secret and Sorachi Ace hops. It pours a bright yellow straw with a creamy haze and enticing white head. The nose is treated to notes of pine and resin with hints of tropical fruits. The palate plays similarly with big up front piney flavors balanced with citrus, raspberry, and tropical fruit notes
STONE DELICIOUS IPA
Lemondrop and El Dorado hops combine to bring on a magnificent lemon candy-like flavor that’s balanced by hop spice. It’s unlike anything we’ve tasted in nearly two decades of IPA experimentation.
RateBeer: 94/100
