Spring Brews

One is already out Stone enjoy by 4/20.

 

In Michigan, Spring means OBERON.

 

Temperatures rising? I woke up yesterday with 2 inches of snow on the ground...
Next question.

 

KBS from Founders, Chillwave from Great Lakes, Southern Tier's Chokolat Orange for me.

 

Kbs for sure, never had it hope to land a 4 pack this year. Will be looking to try choklat orange as well, like the regular choklat and love those orange choklat candies so I should enjoy it.

 

I'm hoping to try Parabola, but it seems quite difficult to obtain here. Troegs Sunshine Pils as well, as I've not tried it yet and starting to really enjoy Pilsners.

 

I love their Sunshine Pils. Very light, but you get some hoppiness in there as well. Def. A good Spring/Summer beer.

 

Looking forward to cans of Quinannan Falls later this spring.

 

Odell St. Lupulin is due shortly.

 

My favorite spring beer that was previously only offered in six packs is now only offered in bombers this year. Time to find a new favorite spring beer

Choklat Oranj was very good. A lot of dark chocolate and the orange is like the astringent peel but is semi sweet as it warms. Ive never had the original choklat so i couldnt compare the sweetness. But it wasnt crazy sweet.

 

I really like belgians, hefes, bocks and ambers in the spring. Spring is one of my favorite times for beer. Specifically for the hefe and Belgians.

 

Regular choklat was overly sweet, so it's good to hear its not that sweet. I also really think the orange will play off the chocolatey sweetness well.

 

I'm looking forward to my first KBS this spring.

True. I find that the colder that beer is, the more bitter the orange comes across. Its definitely a cool sipper to have that orange become sweeter. But the contrast of chocolate and citrus plays nicely. I picked it up because of those candies also. Very similar just not as sugary. Its all subjective though. Hope you find it.

 

I'll probably be picking up another six-pack of Devil's Backbone Cran-Gose soon, as my current six-pack is getting close to empty and with the warm weather a sour/fruity thirst-quenching sort of beer is the kind of thing I'll probably be wanting more of on a pretty regular basis (I know six-pack number one has definitely disappeared faster than expected, considering that it hasn't even been a week since I bought it and it'll probably be gone by Monday!) It doesn't seem to be selling super well around here (I see tons of the six-packs sitting on the shelves) so I imagine I'll be able to find more whenever I want until it's completely out of season. XD

Aside from that, I'll probably end up giving Shiner Bock a second try (it is "bock season" after all... never had this one out of a glass, only straight from the bottle once, and in my experience literally every beer is better from a glass... so I figure it deserves a second chance), and Devil's Backbone has a weizenbock called "Skull-Crushing Ape" going around right now -- will probably try to make it up to the brewery at least once in the near future so I can try a pint directly from the source.

Also starting to feel like having pale ales again, after a nearly-month-long period of my taste buds not being in a hoppy mood. Might end up getting a six-pack of Sierra Nevada or Sweetwater 420 the next time I see them.

 

I'm looking forward to the Maibocks. Mmmmmmm.
