What We’re Drinking | February 8th, 2019
February 8, 2019 | Anna Dacosta Avg. Reading Time: 1 minWould you be willing to fall in love with a new beer? Maybe even reconnect with a beer you already tasted before? February is a short month, but enough time to show our craft beer community some love. This week was interesting since I tried new beers as well as a beer spa experience. I wanted to celebrate a birthday in a different way, and I definitely accomplished that. Cheers to trying new beer experiences, even if it means submerging yourself in a hot tub full of beer ingredients! PorchDrinkers have a cool lineup of diverse beers and we are all over the country sharing this week’s What We’re Drinking.
Moonraker Brewing | Holy Hermit
September 27, 2018 | Robert French Avg. Reading Time: 2 minLocated in the heart of California’s Gold Rush county, Moonraker Brewing Company sits in an unassuming business park in the City of Auburn, a mere 700′ from neighboring Knee Deep Brewing.
Walking in their front door, it seems like you might not be in the right spot. No bar, no taps anywhere to be found. However, as you make your way towards the back, the space opens up into a large indoor/outdoor area, that screams beer hall. It also has a few small rooms that give it a bit of a “loungey” feel.
Tree House Brewing | Juice Machine Double IPA
July 9, 2018 | Eric Griffin Avg. Reading Time: 3 minDo You Even Juice, Bro?
To those who frequent the forums and social media of breweries across the U.S., June saw the re-release of one of the most anticipated beers of the year so far. The brewer? None other than Tree House Brewing in Charlton, Massachusetts. The beer? The legendary Juice Machine.
The Veil Brewing Company | Broz Night Out
January 2, 2018 | Cristie Shull Avg. Reading Time: 2 minIs anyone reading this a fan of Stranger Things? Have you heard of it? Okay, I’m probably crazy for even asking that question. My point, of course, is not about the show on Netflix. However, if you’ve seen the show, then you would most likely recognize the label of a particular beer, Broz Night Out, made by The Veil Brewing Company.

Surly Brewing Co. | Abrasive Ale
November 7, 2017 | Mike Zoller Avg. Reading Time: 2 minAs the hunt continues for the haziest and fruitiest New England IPA, it was nice to crack open Surly Brewing’s 2017 batch of Abrasive. A double IPA that says no to haze and fruit, but instead hits you with hops and malt. You know, the way an IPA used to be.
Christian Moerlein Brewing Company | Bay Of Bengal
October 23, 2017 | Craft Beer Joe Avg. Reading Time: 2 minWho Dey! If you don’t know what that means, then you haven’t watched the NFL in a very long time. That is the chant you’ll hear from the crowd at any Cincinnati Bengals game; as well as, what I scream every time I crack open a can of Christian Moerlein Bay Of Bengal.

Fieldwork Brewing Co. | Hop & Glo Double IPA
September 25, 2017 | Justin Carter Avg. Reading Time: 1 minI recently wrote about the division of IPAs that’s happening. New England style IPA against West Coast IPA, a real Biggie vs. Tupac situation. But now, Berkeley’s Fieldwork Brewing Co. comes along and unites the two with Hop & Glo.

Drake’s Brewing Co | Hopocalypse (Green Label) DIPA
May 4, 2017 | Constance Carter Avg. Reading Time: 1 minABV: 9.3% | IBU: 101
Some people may claim that West Coast IPAs are dead, but not according to Drake’s Brewing Company. While it does offer a few hazy IPAs, Drake’s Brewing pumps out a heavy dose of bitter, West Coast brews during San Francisco Beer Week. Hop Heads rejoice each February when this San Leandro brewery unveils its Hopocalypse lineup — each year more bitter than the last. Many fans even line up outside the brewery as early as 3 a.m. in anticipation for the release. Read More
Odell Brewing | Elephunk Imperial Wild IPA
February 1, 2017 | Jared Hardy Avg. Reading Time: 1 minABV: 9.9% | IBU: 33
Funky doesn’t begin to describe Odell Brewing Elephunk Imperial Wild IPA. This delicious boozy palette puncher is indeed a wild ride. It’s weird. It’s complex. It’s funky with a “p-h.” Yep, it’s PHunky.

Bell’s Brewery Announces Distribution of Hopslam in Colorado
January 30, 2017 | Tristan Chan 2 Avg. Reading Time: 2 minColorado has been the beneficiary of receiving both limited or, in some cases, wide distribution of nationally acclaimed cult following beers over the years, from Pliny the Elder, to Abraxas, Hill Farmstead’s Dorothy to Goose Island’s BCBS variants.
What We’re Drinking | July 8th, 2016
July 8, 2016 | Lanie NovackAlas, it is Friday. Despite the extended holiday weekend, I’m sure this week dragged on for most given the inevitable hangover we all tackled on Tuesday. Fear not, beer lovers. This weekend is chock-full of beer and good times. Here’s … Read More
Milwaukee Brewing Company Hop Freak Double IPA
June 20, 2014 | Brady Akers Avg. Reading Time: 2 minABV: 8.70%
IBU: 80
Writer Ritu Ghatorey said “Sometimes You Need To Look At Life From A Different Perspective.” And she was right, which is why I am going to do two reviews in one. I was able to try Hop Freak in 2 different formats in 2 different settings. My first experience was a draft of Hop Freak on the patio deck at Milwaukee Brewing Company overlooking the Milwaukee River on a hot Milwaukee summer day. My other experience with Hop Freak was out of a can on a cold, rainy Denver night. Both experiences were delicious, but very different.
The Ultimate 6er: Tour de France
April 2, 2014 | Kate Robinson Avg. Reading Time: 2 minFrance has taken its sweet time getting around to craft beer, but the French are finally starting to realize what they’ve been missing out on. Thanks to some passionate brewers in all six corners of the Hexagon, local craft beer is now readily available alongside imported favorites. This Ultimate 6er is a mélange of new and established breweries from around France. It’s not a “best of,” just a peek at the variety of what’s happening out there and some breweries to keep an eye on. Read More
One Minute Beer Review- Southern Tier 2XIPA
July 11, 2012 | Tristan Chan2XIPA– Southern Tier Brewing Co, Lakewood, NY
ABV: 8.2%
One of my friends mentioned that Southern Tier could be comparable to the Great Divide of the North East. To that I said, why the hell is a north eastern … Read More
