When the temperature starts to drop and the days get shorter, nothing is better than gathering around a cozy fire with good friends. Which is why President Roosevelt used fireside chats to give hope to the country in times of crisis, the depression and WWII. He was a friend in your parent’s or grandparent’s living room. Today, 21st Amendment’s Fireside Chat is the friend in your home. With a rich malty flavor, the roaring fire won’t be the only thing warming you up this fall.
As you probably know by now, we here at Super Beer Brothers enjoy a citrus forward IPA. As does the rest of the world which we can see with the success of beers like Ballast Point’s Grapefruit Sculpin. Often we see the citrus steal the show in these beers. Which is what makes this Maui Brewing Co. double IPA so great.
East Coast meets West Coast in this hazy IPA from Barebottle Brewing Company. Galaxy Dust is the first beer I’ve tried from Barebottle Brewing I was thoroughly impressed with this offering. Hailing from San Francisco, Barebottle hit the nail on the head with combining notes of pine and citrus to create a wonderfully balanced NE-style IPA. It is not a giant juice bomb like some tend to be, but is juicy none-the-less. Also it has a lighter body than most NE IPAs I come across these days. Galaxy Dust is an easy drinking IPA that is quite satisfying until your glass is empty.
Finally! Ice, a Czech Pilsner from Modern Times, has been a beer I’ve been trying to hunt down for over a year. I remember seeing it on their Instagram and knowing that I needed to try this beer. Which when it comes to a pils, that almost never happens.
The very first post on this website featured Victory Brewing Company and today we revisit another one of their bomb beers. I am super stoked because in a few weeks I’ll be back east and am stopping by Victory Brewing! I can’t wait to see what goodness they have that I’ve been missing out on.
Dam good times and dam good beer! That’s what Belching Beaver brings to the table with their Hop Highway IPA (and many of their other great offerings). I first heard of Belching Beaver a few years ago when they teamed up with Track 7 on a Mexican Lager. Since then, they have held my interest with consistently putting out solid and creative beers, including a collaboration with Sacramento’s own Deftones. They have certainly earned their spot on my San Diego beercation list.
Well fresh off IPA day, we get to celebrate International Beer Day! Not only do we celebrate that, but we also get to say Happy Anniversary to Knee Deep, a staple in the Northern California craft brewing scene. Hailing from Auburn, CA, Knee Deep has been blasting our palates with 100+ IBU beers and have a stellar line up of beers in all styles. I recommend grabbing a flight or two when at the brewery and enjoying as many as the limited releases as you can! Responsibly of course. Knee Deep recently turned seven and released this triple IPA for all to enjoy.
