Friday Four Pack

As we head into SuperBowl weekend and National Hangover Day, we’re back to help you with your beer selection for the big game. This week, we have a nice variety, including an incredible Belgian Farmhouse Ale, a big ole’ barrel aged stout, a tribute to a wrestling great, and the perfect beer for your Valentine. So let’s get into it! Goose Island- Halia (7.5% ABV Saison) Regular readers of this post know I spend a disproportionate amount of time discussing barrel aged stout and hazy double IPA.

We’re back this week with the first Friday Four Pack of 2022.

Speaking of warm, we have four beers to share with you today that will help us brave the cold as we head into the weekend. Hidden Hand- Seer of Visions (9% Triple IPA) Seer of Visions is our first “wow” beer of 2022. Patrick with Citra, Mosaic,...

As we wrap up the year, we think back on the beers that made the biggest dent on us in 2021. They may not have necessarily been the “best” or the truest to style, but they stuck with us.

They are VSOJ, BCBS Proprietors 2021, Well Well Well, and BA Cuppa Neat RVW. Check out our full breakdown in today’s post!
