New Beer Sunday Week 383

New American Pale Ale

Pretty nice day here in Northern Utah, mid 90s or so, and sunny. A new brew for me today from Bitterbill. I was expecting more, but still a very tasty brew on a HOT day.

New American Wild Ale

G'day Matt and to the rest of the NBS-ites!

97° here in Casper right now. After drinking some ice tea, I decided to open my bottle and review this:

With a name like The Vine, I knew what I was in for when I bought it from the brewery and despite my not being the biggest fan of beers using grapes, I quite liked it.

 

Unreviewable Sunday

I have a few bottles from Michigan Brewing Company left in the fridge. Unfortunately, with the closing of the brewery, I can't do a formal review. However, I did take some notes in case it opens up for reviews once again.

The "Sunset Amber Lager" was pretty good. No bells and whistles, though it's kind of tough to really stand out as a Vienna Lager. I'd say it was a touch too malty. Otherwise, pretty easy drinking on a warm summer Sunday in West MI.

I might get to another before the night is up. I have the MBC Nut Brown Ale waiting in the fridge.

 

Sorry about that. The 3 other cans from that 4 pack were also not up to snuff. No dating on the cans doesn't do Wind River any favours.

 

New Eng. Porter Sunday Week 383

Hello NBS'ers, the heatwave broke here on the ridge in Mid Hud Val NY, cloudy and bearable, not exactly Porter weather, but traditionally Porter was a year rounder IIRC. A tasty beer to enjoy as I do some long put off chores on this, the only "day off" this week. Hope there's a tasty American beer in your glass. Cheers! All

Happy NBS to all...

Beautiful day here on Long Island with temps in the upper 70's and mostly sunny skies.

I vacuumed the pool and then did a little landscaping/weeding with the wife. My wife wants to find a "new beer" for herself this summer, she usually only drinks Corona. I bought a variety of beers for her to try, 3 of which were "new" for me as well.

1 and 2 were both Shandys...

​

​

Saranac Shandy​

&​

Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy​

​

I shared one of these with the wife and decided to have another all by myself...​

​

Ithaca Apricot Wheat​

​

​

Ha! I've had the Leinenkugel before and thanks to you, I see I haven't reviewed it. It's only in cans in my market but I don't want a sixer of it. Old Chicago will come to the rescue.

 

Greetings NBSers, I hope this afternoon finds you well! It's a blistering 100 or so degrees here in already-too-hot Albuquerque, NM, but we have a lot to be thankful for.

Today's new beer is Ithaca's LeBleu, which I recently acquired in a trade from generous BA eyeenjoybeer. Deliciously tart and washing down some oysters on the half-shell quite nicely.

Got this record on the platter:


Until next time, I hope you all have a great Sunday and a productive week.
Cheers!

 

I'm having a Lost Abbey and a New Belgium collaboration American wild called Mo Betta Bretta. I'm loving it, fantasic freshness coming from this beer.

 

New Belgian Strong Pale Ale

I had to add it to the BA database. It left me wanting. No slight on Sierra Nevada's brewing skills intended.

 

Having double dry hopped ruination for the first time ever, on tap. Awesome beer, definitely the dankest I've ever smelled, straight up mary jane. I wonder how this compares to ruination 10.......hopefully I can find out soon.

 

>>>>>> New IPA Sunday <<<<<<

Ruin IPA. The 5th in the 12 Beers of the Apocalypse series. Not a bad brew, but the rosemary and agave spice is a bit over done.

I don't think I would seek this one out, and March edition of the 12 beers is still the best in my book.

Sunny and seasonal here in eastern Washington. Temps in the mid 70's.

Happy Trails!

 

***New Berliner Weisse Sunday***

Greetings NBS,

A sunny and pleasant day here in Southern, CT. The day consisted of some chores, baseball watching, errand running with our baby girl and finally now a new beer.

Festina Peche is not something I would normally seek, but I was pleasantly suprised:

NEW BOCK



It was hot here in IL, but I got some beer in my fridge I NEED to get through before it gets hotter!
I have eyed this one a few times over the last 2 weeks and today was the day... It's a bock by Flying Bison called Blizzard Bock.

To be honest, it wasn't very good. Not terrible, but not very good. Not one I'll be trying again.

-----> NEW AMERICAN ADJUNCT LAGER <------



Left over from the "Table of Terror" at a recent tasting... I couldn't resist reviewing this can of Stroh's!

Greetings, fellow NBSers,
Started out rainy in the city built 'round the falls, but then the sun came out and things warmed up nicely. Paid a visit to Coeur d'Alene, and on my way back stopped at BiPlane Brewing in Post Falls, where I sampled several of their beers, including this one:

I also paid a visit to Iron Goat Brewing in Spokane, but they haven't been approved yet, so perhaps their beers will be a subject of a future NBS.
