Belching Beaver

The milk stouts (both the regular and peanut butter versions) are two of my session (or "I don't to get buzzed") beers. I found the PB stout in a San Diego Costco last week, and since I was burning my annual reward I stocked up.

I've not been to their brewery, but I have visited their North Park tasting room a few times.

 

They make really solid beers. I visited on a beer bus trip and tried about 10 offerings, but I lost my notes so no reviews (sigh). Looking forward to trying these bottles.

 

Saw that PB Stout on a distro blast, and plan on picking it up when I see it.

 

The PB stout is great. Had it a year back on Nitro at Urge... Still no milk stout had compared to the creaminess and flavor. Naughty sauce is close however

 

I'm gonna go against the grain here and say that the first beer I tried from them was their Double IPA, and it was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too malty. Below average, in a market of IPAs/DIPAs like SD. That was fairly early on from when they moved down into North Park (and I had it on tap at PB Taproom). I did make one late night visit to the brewery and tried a dry stout which was solid.

 

I haven't been captivated by any of the hoppy beers, but admittedly I have not tried any of their most recent efforts.

 

I had their Whiskey Barrel Aged Stout. I liked it. Lots of chocolate notes. It's not Parabola, BA speedway level but is comparable to Mission's and Coronado's offerings.

 

A year ago I would've been inclined to agree but I'd take another stab at their hoppy catalogue, Dam Double IPA has been revamped, Hop Highway and Rabid Beaver Rye IPA are both fantastic IMHO.
Cheers!

 

Saw a ton of their beers at Bevmo Irvine last night.

 

an acquaintance of mine just got a job as a brewer there. look forward to going down there and hopefully getting a tour

 

I picked up 4 bottles yesterday:

Hop Highway IPA
Dammed!
Beaver's Milk
Peanut Butter Milk Stout

Are these the only 4 bottles that are being distributed right now?

 

Where did you score those and how much were they?

 

Those 4, Me So Honey, Rabid Beaver, and Ol Dirty Barrel are the only ones, I beliefe

 

It's hard to imagine a brewery name that someone would actually name their brewery that is worse than that name.

 

Just had their PB Stout with Mexican Cacao on nitro. It was pretty damn incredible.

 

Was that on at their brewery or their tasting room in North Park?

 

well, there's always this

I find it odd how people are sleeping on these guys because their brewery name is kinda stupid. I've had some barrel aged stuff on tap at the NP location that was simply wonderful.

Keep sleeping on them, and I'll keep going to the NP location to drink.
