Jacktail is the latest year-round #beer from #ElysianBrewing, a hazy IPA brewed with Citra and Idaho 7 hops that the company released this spring. Based on the marketing, the new beer is “an homage to Elysian Brewing’s deep west coast roots, tapping into the mystique and nostalgia of the wilds of the Great Pacific Northwest.”

Breakside’s Nutella Porter Is Like Italian Breakfast in a Pint Glass

You wouldn’t think a little sugar would be so controversial. In the past three years, so-called “pastry stouts” have filled taplists with map…

I’ve received several lagers this spring for review purposes, two of them being limited-edition seasonals, so with the weather warming up I thought it would be interesting to do side-by-side reviews to see how they stack up.

#GreatDivideBrewing out of Colorado first introduced Yeti Imperial Stout in 2004, and since then the #beer has become a year-round staple for the brewery. It’s one I’ve enjoyed a number of times over the years, yet in all that time I’ve never reviewed it here.

The beers from #BeerGirl are lower-alcohol, gluten-reduced lagers with no added sugar, developed by husband-and-wife team Caroline and Griffin Foulk of Wagon Wheel Brewing of California. These are lifestyle brand beers, brewed with corn as an adjunct to help lower the over gluten content, and weighing in with only 3.5% alcohol by volume.

In this day and age it’s quite mainstream for beer to come in cans (it’s not the novelty it once was), but when #DoubleMountainBrewery recently revealed that it’s (finally) canning its #beer and #cider, it warrants a closer look. The brewery famously resisted canning for a long time, focusing on its refillable bottle program in its sustainability efforts, and finally took the plunge this year.

The latest release in the “Beer Hug” series from #GooseIslandBeer is Big Hazy Pineapple Beer Hug, an imperial hazy IPA that joins the ranks of the bear-themed lineup. The series focuses on higher-strength IPAs with six variants so far; as the newest, Goose Island sent me Big Hazy to review.

Flock Party is the newest year-round IPA from #PelicanBrewing, billed as a “modern IPA” by the brewery, designed as an approachable and sessionable IPA to share with friends (your “flock” as it were). This new #beer is brewed with Bravo, Centennial, and Strata hops with a simple malt bill to highlight the hops. Here's my review.

The hop harvest is over, but #FreshHop beers are still drinking great right now, with many still available both on tap and in retail. I’ve been enjoying my fair share, and one of those is the latest Farm to Market series beer from Portland’s #ZupansMarkets and #HettyAliceBeers — Flash Frozen Fresh Hop IPA.

Washington’s #BaleBreakerBrewing refreshed the recipe for its Field 41 Pale Ale this year, re-imagining the #beer as a lighter, crisper, easier-drinking version of the original. The new recipe dropped the alcohol from 5.2 to 4.2% by volume, as well as the calories (now 100 per 12-ounce serving). The brewery is calling the new recipe Yakima Pale Ale.

#FirestoneWalkerBrewing offers up several different variety packs of its various #beer lines, with the eponymously-named Firestone Mixed Pack perhaps serving as the flagship pack, featuring four of its year-round hoppy ales. Over the summer I received the Mixed Pack to review, which gave me an opportunity to explore some solid beers from the company.

I do quite enjoy a Belgian-style white ale (#witbier) during summer, with the coriander and orange spice profile over a bright, crisp wheat which just hits right in hot weather. So I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to review Nit Wit White Ale from BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, which I received from the company recently.
