La fin du monde
It’s a Belgian, it’s a triple at 9%, it tastes awesome. Not much more to say…
Maiden the Shade by Ninkasa
Seasonal release IPA. Like all summer IPAs I like mine extra cold but didn’t have the patience to put it in the freezer, so yes that’s ice. It’s a full bodied IPA, not a session one so even with the ice it doesn’t have that watered down taste–as it shouldn’t as it’s 6.8% by volume […]
Belching Beaver Blonde
After a 60 minute dogfish, it tastes like water with a drop of honey.
Lost Coast Raspberry Brown
Dark color, light taste. Only a small taste of raspberry but it balances out well. It’s got a rich brown malt finish.

Ballast CA Kolsch
Rich golden hops and malts. Not sure why it’s California other than it’s fun to drink at the beach while watching the surf.

Belgian Sour
Duchesse de Bourgonne Sour Belgian. Imagine a Diet Coke mixed with dry vermouth and cherry pop rocks. My first, second, and third reactions were that I absolutely hated it. After an hour and if you take a small sip, you might be able to appreciate some of the craftsmanship that went into it, but it’s […]
