What is Hop Burn?
What is hop burn, how does it happen, and why? Too-fresh, greenness, or high-acid are all things that I've heard, but they're not 100% accurate....
Why are hops so sexy? Everybody likes to list out the Hop bill, but not the grain bill, yeast or water additions. What gives?...
Once a hop becomes commercially produced, it gets an official name. For example, Sabro was originally named HBC 438 and Strata X331. Galaxy hops...

Recently, and I know it’s been talked about a lot, but Bell’s Brewery’s Two Hearted Ale earned the vote of best beer in the country. Beer nerds have freaked out about this, but you have to...

I still think we have a ways to go before NEIPAs wear thin as the style du-jour (and yes it will happen), but regardless of...

Whole Foods Brewing Brighter Days
Brighter Days pours that beautiful golden hazy yellow color that all hazers are crave. The pour alone lets you know it's a damn good beer. The head sits at the perfect level to add aroma and flavor, and the lacing runs smoothly down the glass as you enjoy each sip....

Spindletap Juiceton by Sam
Spindletap Juiceston pours an orange hazy color with a good amount of head that is typical of Double IPA's. The lacing is there but minimal. The aroma is killer on this one people. You get a tropical aroma that is heavenly. I definitely pick up some guava on the nose as well as citrus flavors....

8th Wonder IP8 by Tony
IP8 poured a clear golden color, right on for a double IPA. There was 2 fingers of white fluffy head that melted down into a thin layer as I cooked my carne de pastor, and each sip left more and more creamy lace down the glass. It was more like a...

Copperhead Feeding Frenzy by Sam
Feeding Frenzy falls into my dangerously good category of beers. The 8% abv is so well hidden it's scary. One sip and those juicy characteristics come right up on the tongue. The Amarillo, Citra and...

Whole Foods Brewing DL Double by Sam
The DL Double drinks much easier than its 8.2 ABV. The pour is a dark orange juice color with just the right amount of head. The nose on the beer radiates an intense tropical aroma. One sip, and it's easy to tell the flavor on the DL Double is well balanced from beginning to end. First, the seriously intense tropical hoppy flavor comes through...

Copperhead Feeding Frenzy by Tony
As it goes down, there's a soft after taste of more Grapefruit, pineapple and tropical goodness followed by a long-lingering aftertaste. It's a dangerously smooth 8% though. There's a tiny alcohol note on the after taste as it warms up, but...

Buffalo Bayou More Cowbell by Tam
More Cowbell pours golden orange and leaves a fine white foam that will sustain itself through the duration of the brew; which if you enjoyed it like I did then it won’t last long. The aroma that it gives off is floral notes with hints of caramel, but the taste is sweet with just the right kick of...
8th Wonder Brewery did the city justice with Hopston. It's a TX IPA that's light on the tongue, but not light on flavor. I really dig 8th Wonder for their creativity - not only in the beers themselves, but in their names and artwork. Hopston's no different. Hopston is bit stronger in flavor than other IPAs I've had, but it's...
