New Belgium Brewing, Ft. Collins, CO; Asheville, NC A crisp, refreshing golden ale bursting with juicy Persian lime, freshly ground coriander and a hint of cracked black pepper. 5.2% ABV Cloudy greenish-gold in color with a nose of a lime sweet tart or limeade.

New Belgium Slow Ride Session IPA
New Belgium Brewing, Ft. Collins, CO; Asheville, NC Geared for sessioning, Slow Ride is cushioned with tropical aromas and fruit-forward hops. Ready, set, go slow. 4.5% ABV Clear dark gold in color with a nose of Citra hops. Light for an IPA. Should be a Pale Ale. For a Pale Ale it is very drinkable,…
Georgetown Roger’s Pilsner
Georgetown Brewing Company, Seattle, WA 4.9% ABV Clear gold in color with a sweet, malty nose that reminds Fr. Jack of a sweet pastry. Almost fruity for a Pilsner: like apple juice which we associate with ESB. Easy to drink. Low ABV for a Pilsner or any lager for that matter. Almost like a very…
Goose Island Preseason Lager
Goose Island Beer Co., Chicago, Il; Baldwinsville, NY; Fort Collins, Co. 5.8% Preseason Lager is a clear amber color, which is pretty dark for a lager. It also smells quite complex. Curiously enough, it tastes like an amber lager. It reminds us of Negra Modelo, but more bitter. We kind of like it! The bitterness…

St. Arnold Art Car IPA
St. Arnold Brewing Company, Houston, TX 7.1% ABV Clear amber in color with a faint nose of hops. Light bodied for an IPA. Father Jack thinks it tastes like a baby Double IPA while Large Marge believes it is an IPA on the fruity side of the spectrum. Fruity and malty with bitterness at the…
St. Arnold Fancy Lawnmower
St. Arnold Brewing Company, Houston, TX 4.9% ABV Clear gold in color with not much of a nose, only a touch of sweetness. Not much to this beer: malty with a bit of sweetness. Not as sweet as Chafunkta Kingfish, but reminds us as malty water. Would we have it again? No https://www.saintarnold.com/beers/lawnmower.html

This is definitely…
Terrapin Rye Pale Ale
Terrapin Beer Company, Athens, GA At Terrapin, our Rye Pale Ale was the first beer we ever introduced. Dry hopped with a generous portion of Amarillo hops, and brewed using a touch of malted rye, we have achieved a beer with a dynamic hop character and a remarkably clean finish that is sure to be…
Bell’s Oatsmobile Ale
Bell’s Brewery, Inc., Comstock, MI Aromatic. Approachable. Unique. Intriguing. Happy-go-lucky. Full-bodied. And we’re not just talking about the horse. 4.3% ABV Clear amber in color with a nose that reminds us of a rye beer. Almost tastes like Rye Ale, but lighter. Got a bit of a bite at the aftertaste, but that is about…
