With each sip of B52 My Spirit Viking, I expected an onslaught of hops. I definitely expected a ton of super acidic hop-burn, but it simply wasn’t there...
I expected Sigma Resinlord IPA to be a kick in the teeth malt bomb at 11% and with all West Coast hops, but it was surprisingly approachable in every...
It’s kind of thin for a 6.9% ABV beer, but as a sour IPA, I’m not really all too worried about that. I wish the...
Overall, it’s my favorite beer from Sigma yet. They’ve come with some hard hitters in their short history, but this one is special. Yet again, it’s proof...
Lazarus Leviticus radiates elegance. Everything from the black wax coating to the fine, white, linen-textured paper and gold foil label makes Lazarus Leviticus feel like it belongs...
As soon as the aluminum cracked open with a hiss, I could smell the vanilla and the hops. It was almost like candy. I love peaches, so I was looking forward to...

Sigma Spirit Journey is another hazy installment from the East Downtown brewery. It's everything you expect from the style with a few subtle twists and surprises...
Pay Phone pours a perfectly hazy, bright, pale yellow color. It’s about as clear as the audio on a pay phone call. The creamy head settles into rings of lace - ring ring, ring ring. Immediately...
After tasting so many Oktoberfests this year, Kingsbrau is in a category all its own. The light, approachability of the lager style paired with the spicy floral finish from the light Hallertau dry hop makes this...
Each sip of 11 Below Oktoberfest screams of rich, biscut-y malts but in a welcoming, sessionable way. In an odd paradox, the boldness of...
Addi’s Faith Kolsch is a special beer. Not because of how perfect it smells, how beautifully it pours, or how perfectly light and balanced the flavors are. Nope, Addi’s Faith Kolsch is all of those things, but even more than that, it’s a vehicle for...
Back Pew Garnet Pietist Saison poured like a summer dream. Bright reddish-amber with an almost-white, pastel-pink head. The aroma is earthy, spicy, funky...
Island Haze IPA pours as opaque as the beach water on Galveston’s shores, but instead of brown, it’s a bright orange color. Straight juice. The foamy...
Before tasting it, I heard and read a lot of salty, disappointed feedback about Saint Arnold Brash Not a Collaboration. With each sip, I’m reminded of one of those comments. Each sip starts off bright and citrusy with a sweet and bitter finish. The finish...
The smell of Back Pew Evildoer Pale Ale is reminiscent of he aforementioned bubbles with some slightly soapy, floral, citrus notes and a...
Just in time for their 3 year anniversary and the 2018 batch of Big Mistake, and this is a solid beer. I'm excited to get more this year, but I'm not aging it. I think I'm done aging beer after experiencing...
Saint Arnold Icon Blue Chocolate Milk Stout makes up for being light-bodied with a mouthful of roasty chocolate notes that are far from overly sweet. The...
These tots definitely don't taste like 8%. B52 Pocket Tots Strawberry Milkshake starts off smooth and silky from the milk sugar, and finishes with...
Copperhead King of Terrors is the opposite of a sting. It’s a smooth sipper that hides the 15%ABV and 100 IBUs beneath layers of warming coffee flavor. As the finish sips, there’s a rush of...
