Brown Shugga

They say this beer came out of a failed batch of barleywine. I don't think they did an especially good job of saving it, though.

In contrast to the Hop Czar, this beer really utilizes its hops well. The taste is curled and whole like a wave that lifts you up and overwhelms you with its delicious bitterness. This is a beer I want to share with others and it inspired me to start planning a Hop into Summer event for the solstice, when people should all bring their favorite hoppy beers. We'll see what becomes of that.

Cappucino Stout

I loved this beer. So delicious it was distracting. I was trying to drink it and cook at the same time, and I kept leaning to the drinking, and periodically I had to remark out loud--this is a great beer. This is definitely the best coffee beer I've had.

A Little Sumpin Wild

Wow, this was really a great beer, combining the best elements of a Belgian and IPA. Extremely drinkable and refreshing, despite its relatively high alcohol content (just shy of 9%). Pale in color, sweet in smell and taste, this immediately became one of my favorite beers. With every sip I marveled at the complex flavor, especially at how well the yeast came through with an extra-delicious undertone. From first blush to the last lingering aftertaste, I enjoyed everything about this beer. A limited offering, so I may have to run out and grab another before it's gone. Highly recommended.

Lagunitas

Lucky 13

Lagunitas. I took a bomber of this with me to a poker game, thinking it might improve my odds, but it was not at all lucky for me. Tasty, though.

Lagunitas An OK beer, but after the St. Lupulin, the hops felt out of control. I don't mind a lot of hops and a lot of bitterness, but sometimes, as in this beer, they feel out of control and they overwhelm the overall taste.
