Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA

Larry Giargiari — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 16:15:11 +0000

This is a hoppy IPA. Did I say hops? Your brewer is a hop head! This is a full bodied beer using American grains. The goal was to create a base for showing off the unique floral qualities of two Pacific Northwest hops, Columbus and Cascade. Columbus is a new hybrid High Alpha Acid hop used mostly for bittering, but used heavily as an aromatic in this bold brew. Cascade is the balance that ties the malt and bittering hops together. It is a true specialty ale and is our brewer’s statement on this style.
-From the Bear Republic website.

Racer 5 has a nice, toasted caramel color. My tulip glass held the IPA with about a finger of foam and wafting, pleasant citrus hop aromas. But there’s some malt in the aroma, too, which becomes a bridge to the taste. I was expecting the hops — sticky pine and citrus — but the sweet, caramel malt was the pleasant surprise of the night.

21st Amendment Hop Crisis

Larry Giargiari — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 15:18:31 +0000

So, have I ever told you how much I love IPA? Especially the really bitter citrusy style from the west coast, the kind that you'll never forget once you try it. Well, it looks like I've found that one and I love it!

Let me introduce Hop Crisis, the Imperial IPA aged on oak spirals that clocks in at a whopping 9.7% abv. This beer is a hopheads oasis, with hints of sweet peach, pear, and grapefruit from the first sip to the last. It has a wonderful malt backbone that masks the strong alcohol presence. Like a fine wine, this beer is surely a sipper...

...and it comes in a can!

Peak Organic Hop Noir

Larry Giargiari — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 19:29:02 +0000

Hop Noir is a delectable Black IPA, dripping with piney, aromatic Centennial hops. The malt base is dark and rich, anchored by organic black malt. This provides a strong foundation for the extravagant kettle hopping and dry-hopping that this beer experiences. Enjoy this with a night-light!

Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout

Larry Giargiari — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 14:13:41 +0000

Yeti Imperial Stout’s sophisticated sibling from Great Divide's Yeti Stout Series. They may be from the same clan, but they have entirely different personalities. Oak aging gives a subtle vanilla character, rounding out Yeti’s intense roastiness and huge hoppy nature. Aged in oak barrels for 20 months, the beer pours pitch black with a frothy brown head and gives off an aroma of caramel, coffee, vanilla, and surprisingly robust hops. The high alcohol content is masked by a smooth woodiness that hints of burnt wood and roasted coffee beans. More hops arrive toward the finish.

Who says you can’t tame a Yeti? 9.5% ABV

North Coast Brewing Company 2009 Old Stock Cellar Reserve

Larry Giargiari — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 18:26:06 +0000

In an exercise of humanitarian charity and to demonstrate just how very much he cares about his friends, North Coast brewmaster, Mark Ruedrich, has just now released an exceptional batch of 2009 Old Stock Ale that has been aged for 18 months in oak Bourbon barrels. In this latest example of the cunning of his hand, Brewmaster Ruedrich has set new standards for the brewers’ art. To say that it’s amazing would be an understatement. There’s not much, and it will go fast, so be vigilant.

Larry Giargiari — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 18:33:34 +0000

The holidays are here, so why not celebrate with a cold winter brew, like this treat from Avery Brewing Company in Colorado. Since 1993 this brewery has been committed to producing eccentric ales and lagers that defy styles or categories. Their products are thoroughly American at heart: blending Old World tradition and expertise with ingenuity, creativity and boldness.

This winter strong ale has a gorgeous mahogany hue, a hint of hazelnuts, and a finish reminiscent of mocha and toffee. No spices, just a perfect blend of five specialty malts. Cellarable for 2 years.
