ABITA BREWING CO. - Peach Lager      Amazing aroma, lots of peaches. Taste is pretty nice too. But the best part? It made me dig out my Presidents Of The United States Of America CD.

STONE BREWING CO. - Enjoy By 12-25-16 Unfiltered IPA

TYRANENA BREWING COMPANY - Blueberry Thrill       Usually any of the beers in their Brewers Gone Wild series have been outstanding, but this one missed the mark for me. Nice base double IPA, but the bottle I tasted had not hint of blueberries, so a little dissapointing.

ALMANAC BEER CO. - Tropical Platypus     "Dry-Hopped sour ale aged in wine barrels with kiwi, mango, lime and passion fruit." Amazing aroma and the taste is almost just as good. Great beer, these guys know what they are doing, just wish they distributed to Minnesota so I could enjoy them more often.

ALMANAC BEER CO. - Truthful Statement         "Sour stout aged in Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels with orange peel and cherries."  Interesting to say the least and very well done. Well worth it.

BALLAST POINT BREWING COMPANY - Barmy Ale        Ending today with another big beer, 12% ABV. Not my favorite from Ballast Point. A little too sweet and on the boozy side. A little better balance and this good be a winner.

UNIBROUE - A Tout Le Monde

LAKEFRONT BREWERY INC - Pumpkin Imperial Ale         Nothing like starting out with a 13.4% ABV beer, to start the day, but it's so good. "Ale brewed with pumpkin & spices with vanilla added & aged in brandy barrels." Just plain tasty. Gets better as it warms. There is a lot going on, very complex and not any notice of the high ABV.  Curious what some aging will do for this one, so happy there are some in the cellar.
