A few choices from this weekend....

Bow & Arrow "Check Out Chaco" czech lager. Delicious light beer.

Bow & Arrow "Paradox of Choice" IPA

Bow & Arrow "Coastal Mesa" hazy IPA. Great one right after canning, should be even better next weekend.

Gravity Bound "Net Effects" hazy IPA. It's Gravity Bound and a hazy, of course its top tier stuff.

Boulevard "Blue Money" blueberry IPA. I wasn't sure about this one....a little funky but after a couple sips I got a feel for it.

Forgot to grab a picture but think black like my soul and viscous like a good motor oil.
https://www.orpheusbrewing.com/beers/today-i-choose-violence/I was expecting a ton of heat from the cinnamon and ghost pepper but this, while tasty, was overbalanced toward the sweet side.

Kalamazoo again. Wax Wings Brewing. Fan The Plumage. Its a triple IPA. And its soooo soft and tasty. A 10 percenter. A sneaky, naughty 10 percenter !!
This one gets a 10 on a 10 scale !!
One of the best beers Ive had in quite awhile

[paligap]

EXPRESSO MARTINI....shaken, not stirred!

Once again I've fallen behind so it's a quick post with a few recent new seasonal:

Ex Novo "Between the Spreadsheets" hoppy lager. Smooth, just a bit of extra bite over a usual lager.

Bow & Arrow "Easy Cactus" dark lager. Not my usual style but it's a very nicely balanced beer, not too heavy on the malts.

Boxing Bear "Bear Cave" IPA. A solid hoppy west-coast brew.

La Cumbre "Hop Tumbler" hazy DIPA

Just home from an overnight getaway down to Truth or Consequences NM again, and of course their local brewery was on our itinerary as usual.

I did a flight of mostly seasonal stuff....a couple lagers, IPA, semi-hazy IPA, brown IPA, stout

On a side-board I didn't see they listed a limited "electrolyte lager" and after a taster I got a 12oz glass....loads of citrus in it, almost tasted like a cider

Had a small sip of the belgian quad "Mastadon" (12.7% abv!) from the Mrs' tray...not really my thing.

3 Floyds from Indiana ( my Wolverines play some Indiana team in about an hour for the B10 Championship ) This is a real nice IPA ! Its 9 percenter with 100 IBUs. Its a dry and stupendously hopped medium bodied Imperial IPA brewed with Canadian two-row malt - and lots of American hops. Ill go 9 on a 10 scale

If you stumble on 3F Cocomungo, even though not an IPA, give it a go ... mmm
