Saint Nipplaus has been stuck in my mind for the last three years as one of my favorite beers of all time. I called them that next year begging to know when it would be out again, but they said they weren’t sure if they were going to make it again...
The Bruery in Houston? For the unknowing, the Bruery is a boutique craft brewery located in Orange County, CA specializing in barrel aged and experimental...
The liquid is dark as black coffee which gives you an idea of how many hazelnut coffee beans were added to the batch, and the pour is fine with a thin head of foam that seem to get thicker as the beer is drizzled from the bottle. That first taste immediately has you...
Hop Option Mosaic IPA is a very dank, fruity, citrusy, and smells and taste. This beer is listed at 7% ABV, which feels like a creeper beer, you've been warned. This is a very flavorful beer that is very smooth and light feeling. You could say drink this all summer long, and in a place where it feels like summer 80% of the year, that is very important!

The pour into my 20oz beer glass revealed a dark liquid that had a heavy aroma of coffee and chocolate with a large amount of head forming at the brim. I being the simpleton I was, before the craft scene, immediately envisioned...
Citra Mellow IPA is my first beer from Galveston Island Brewing. Very mild, would be a killer beer for the beach! Very mellow to start, hop bitterness to finish. Slight floral notes along with a sneaky high ABV. A very good intro to IPAs as it not very hoppy/bitter at all. An easy drinking, all day type of beer. ...
Honey Hole ESB is a terrific beer from SpindleTap Brewery, and it's one of my favorites from them. I think I enjoy it so much because it's a bit unusual to see an ESB, and Honey Hole really hits the spot for the style (pun wholly intended). ESB stands for Extra Special Bitter, and Honey Hole's extra special, alright! It starts off clean and...
Despite my skepticism from last year, I went out to 11 Below’s 11-11 Celebration for the release of Negative Space. It ended up being...
