“Let us be clear about one thing at the start — we are totally down for a snazzy, new, hazy, juicy IPA. However, sometimes you just want to dive into some old-fashioned hoptastic bitterness. So, it’s a good thing that Jackie O’s Pub & Brewery from Athens, OH makes a tasty West Coast Style IPA. (That’s right … Ohio!) …”

Read More“Aslin Beer Company has made quite a name for itself in Northern Virginia. For its first few years it was able to create a following just through direct sales from its Herndon facility and through placement in a few restaurants. However, the brewery that The Washington Post once called “the best brewery you’ve never heard of” is well and truly out of its small mold with tasting rooms in Herndon and Alexandria and with distribution to little old us …”

Read More“Those magical, mad brewers at Stone Brewing Company have been putting out their ‘Enjoy By’ series since 2012 — featuring fresh IPAs with a “drink by” date guaranteeing maximum hop freshness. Each brew has been a lupu-licious offering to the Altar of the Hop, and in all that time they’ve never done a New England Style IPA … until now …”

Read More“So, some years ago craft brewers reflected on the grapefruit flavors that Pacific Northwest hops impart to their favorite IPAs and Double IPAs, and they thought, ‘Huh … why don’t we just add in actual grapefruit?’ The thing is a lot of those hops also impart pine aromas and flavors to their beers. So where were the brewers deciding to brew with actual pine trees? Well, at long last, enter Vienna, VA’s Caboose Brewing Company. For the latest beer in their ‘For Lovers’ series — a series that features beers made from 100% Virginia ingredients — Caboose confidently strides into that gap …”

Read More“Nashville’s Bearded Iris Brewing openly recognizes the irony of, on one hand, saying that they are dedicated to “variety” and “nuance” when, on the other hand, they clearly like brewing a lot of IPAs, DIPAs, and American Pale Ales. Their response is that there are depths to be plumbed in a single hop varietal and layers to be teased out of a particular malt. When you start mixing them … well then! Now, that’s all fine and good copy, but you collect your money when you can put it where our mouth is …”

Read More“There are a lot of ways to approach a revered beer style like the Trappist-monk-created Tripel. You can try to come to it as correct as you can, making something that would make a monk renounce his vows. You can get “mad scientist” with it until the monks break in and consign you to the Brewer’s Inquisition (which no one expects). For their Tripel, Goochland’s Lickinghole Creek Farm Brewery decided to go for the ‘Tweak It Into Awesomeness’ approach …”
