    Watching this Yellowstone live deal on Nat Geo, dvring better call saul.



    Roughtail Everything Rhymes With Orange IPA; easily one of the Best IPAs in Oklahoma, although their other hoppy stuff is pretty damn tasty as well.

    Troegs Nimble Giant DIPA. One of those beers that's keeps getting better as you work through the 4 pack.

    Delicious NEIPA. Aromas and flavors of tangerine, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, guava, passion fruit, citrus peel/zest, and light pepper/pine hops; with balanced wheat, white bread dough, light honeyed malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Very mild pine, zesty, herbal, grassy bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; creamy/bready wheat/oats, and some sticky hops in the mouthfeel. Lightly increasing lingering bitter dryness, no hop astringency. Refreshingly drinkable, 6.7%. Really spot on stuff all around. Great soft mouthfeel with stone fruity/tropical hop juiciness, and balanced wheat/bready malts. Mild dankness. Really well done for a nationally available NEIPA. Feels like the El Dorado has the most presence with this. Will get again, always freshly available.

    Always amazing. $12 for 6 pack pints is an amazing deal. Flavors of big grapefruit, orange peel, citrus rind, pepper, and piney hops; with balancing sweetness of caramel, brown sugar, toffee, brown bread, toasted biscuit, and light nutty/chocolate malts; some light raisin/fig dark fruits and herbal/grassy hop earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus rind, herbal, grassy, peppery hop bitterness on the finish. Medium-full bodied; balanced bready creaminess and sticky/resinous hops in the mouthfeel. Increasingly drying, but never astringent on resins. Really awesome balance and complexity. Classic American strong ale, all Chinook hops. I rewrote the review recently, and it's pretty much just as impressive as I remember when I reviewed it over 6 years ago. Have be keeping this and Stone IPA around more lately, far easier to find fresh now. 2 of the best classic American style beers ever IMO.

    Bell's Consecrator Doppelbock while I hold an ice pack to my head, due to some carelessness.

    This is a damn fine local NEIPA... Not as good as the last batch with Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy but this will do. Cheers, BA's!

    The last straggler from my Cinco de Mayo mixed case pickup. Not bad for an 8 month old beer. Paired with cheese and crackers. Alarm set for 6 hours. See you all tomorrow night.

    I feel like today was the type of Monday that gives Mondays a bad name. I'm finally going to sit down and relax for a few minutes before I'm up to fly out tomorrow morning for a couple days.

    Enjoy your trip (for what it's worth). I keep thinking I'm going to get a chance to run up into Michigan while I'm in northern Indiana, but it never pans out. Plenty of beers to seek out from great brewers. Cheers

    I love trips to Michigan just for the incredible beer. You're not that far from Transient in northern IN. That's going to be one of my stops on my next trip.

    Fantastic NE APA. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, and light pepper/pine hops; with balanced wheat, biscuit dough, rye bready malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Very mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; creamy/bready malt and light sticky hops in the mouthfeel. Lightly increasing lingering bitter dryness. Refreshingly drinkable, super soft feel as usual. Great use of Chinook, Crystal, and Simcoe hops for the style. Very juicy, fruity, and fairly dank/earthy hop complexity; with a perfectly balanced wheat/bready malt backbone. Not overly sweet. This is more dank/earthy than their others with the heavy C hops. Will keep buying it while I can. Only another month or two until Tweed and Cart Horse are back.

    This is amazing! Flavors of big grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/rind, pepper, and pine hops; with balanced caramel, toffee, brown sugar, bourbon, charred oak, and brown bread sweetness; with lighter notes of coconut, vanilla, and herbal/floral/grassy hop earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus rind, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness; and light-moderate bourbon/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; balanced creamy/bready malts, sticky/resinous/rindy hops, and bourbon/oak tannins in the mouthfeel. Moderate increasing bitter/resin/tannic dryness. Lightly increasing warmth of 12.2%, mild barrel booziness lingering after the finish. Completely exceeded all expectations. Big juicy and dank Chinook, Mosaic and Simcoe hop complexity from reDANKulous; awesome malt balance and barrel integration. Not overly sweet for the ABV. Liked it a lot more than the base beer too. Feels more dank than I remember, even with the barrel aging. 2 packs left; already starting to mellow out a bit after 3 months, but equally impressive.

    Couple of heavy hitters tonight. Began with Pugachev's Cobra. I liked it a lot.

    Then moved on to Wheelhouse 2017. Not as good, I don't think it was worth the investment.
