Mountain Beer Appreciation Thread (2025)

I’ve really been enjoying these Lead Dog “Fade to Orange” wheat ales lately. Pale cloudy yellow-orange look, nose is light freshly cut orange, taste is strong tart orange juice with just a touch of wheat on the finish. Medium in mouth feel and highly carbonated.

I would definitely recommend this brew!

 

Alibi Ale Works have always produced brews regardless of the style. This Pale Ale is no exception. Definitely an easy drinker.

 

No better recovery drink after a 9.5 mile hike!

 

My closer beer in the BA Zoom chat today.

 

Cheers

 

I’m now three beers deep into my Payette Brewing variety pack and I’m really enjoying these Crisp Heir Pilsners. Really solid brews, light and grassy.

The Recoil IPA is a decent brew as well. Nothing special but it has a decent bitterness to it. The North Fork Lager on the other hand is pretty bland and definitely not a beer I’d drink again.

 

Had my final Sofa King Sunny Hazy Pale Ale earlier. It was also the last beer from my Payette VP. These hazies were pretty solid, with great bitterness for a hazy APA.

 

My first P6 IPA from Parlay 6 Brewing in Reno. Decent looking brew, some complexity on the nose, taste follows the nose, being hoppy & dank with a fruit sweetness following. Perhaps a tad too sweet for me?

Cheers my fellow Mountain BAdvocates!
