Hawkins Farmhouse Ales | Major Progression BA Belgian Quad

October 1, 2021 |

Just over half an hour directly to the south of Austin sits Lockhart, Texas — the self-proclaimed “barbecue capital” of the state. The quintessential small-town-Texas vibe is punctuated by the enormous queues snaking out of Lockhart’s four famous barbecue joints on the weekend, which attract visitors from across the state and further afield.

I didn’t realize this at the time, but these were my formative craft beer years: a time spent feeling out boundaries and developing personal standards and learning what I like and why. One of the most outstanding examples in my mind is The Sixth Glass, a Belgian-style Quadrupel from Kansas City’s Boulevard Brewing Co.  Read More

2 Row Brewing | Divine Lunacy Belgian Quad

March 18, 2019 |

Brian Coleman chuckles when asked how the name Divine Lunacy, a decadent Belgian Quad, came about.

But that’s not the only reason 2 Row landed on the heavenly name, he admits.
