Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 30 – Fat Heads Head Hunter IPA (32)

What’s interesting is this is lighter and easier to drink brew without the citrus addition.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 29 – Fat Heads Head Hunter Jungle Juice IPA (209)

I was just telling my wife how refreshing a citrus IPA is, and look at what was on tap at Winking Lizard!

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 22 – Bell’s Oberon Wheat Ale (241)

After a strong IPA, this wheat ale’s light and smooth flavor is a perfect follow up.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 21 – 3 Floyds Turbo Reaper IPA (204)

I’m not the only person who finds a hoppy IPA refreshing on a warm summer day? This one delivered all of that for me.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 20 – Market Garden Progress Pilsner (151)

Staying with the Cleveland theme, this Pilsner is incredibly light and dry, as well as easy to drink.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 19 – Great Lakes Brewing Company Dortmunder Gold (145)

This beer is as classic a Cleveland beer as Janesee (Big Chuck & Lil’ John fans will get it).

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 18 – Garage Beer Lime

I know I’m supposed to put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up (oy), but what about lime in the beer?

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 17 – Leinenkugel Summer Shandy (214)

I finished with a lemon shandy last week, so it felt right to start with a classic summer shandy this week. Lighter in flavor than the Wrecking Crew shandy I had, but just as refreshing.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 16 – Thirsty Dog Blood Hound Orange IPA Pint Glass (172)

I am such a sucker for citrus IPAs, and this one is no expectation. Yes, you get the bitterness, but the citrus flavor balances well with it.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 15 – Great Lakes Brewing Company Mexican Lager Pint Glass (211)

Why put a slice of lime on the rim when you can just put the lime in the lager and drink it all up? (oy!)

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 14 – Hoppin’ Frog Smashing Honey Blonde Ale 12oz Can (201)

A touch of honey makes this easy to drink blonde ale even more pleasant to enjoy.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 13 – B. Nektar Zombie Killer Cider 12oz Can

Sometimes you just need a cider, and this is my go to. Tart but light and easy to drink.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 12 – Thirsty Dog Irish Setter Red Ale Pint Glass (174)

In honor of Lance, the first dog I ever knew, an Irish setter who always seemed to tower over 3 year old me.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour 11 – Guinness Dry Stout 20oz Glass (150)

THE stout, with that classic head of suds on top. Iconic look and taste.

Fermented Friday – 2025 Winking Lizard World Tour Of Beers 10: Sierra Nevada Trail Pass IPA 12oz Can (66)

This is the second non alcoholic brew I’ve had where I can’t tell it’s a NA. Excellent flavor and body.

Fermented Friday – 2025 Winking Lizard World Tour Of Beers 9: Sierra Nevada Hop Tropical IPA Pint Glass (196)

You can always depend on a Sierra Nevada IPA to give you that hoppy bitterness, and this is no exception.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard World Tour Of Beers #8 – Left Hand Peanut Butter Milk Stout Nitro 12oz Bottle (104)

It is unfair how smooth this beer is.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard World Tour Of Beers #7 – Sam Smith Organic Chocolate Stout Pint Glass (162)

To drink this and not enjoy it would be…unholy.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard World Tour Of Beers #6 – Southern Tier Irish Cream Stout Pint Glass (166)

I once got an “Irish Coffee” from a flight attendant because I gave up my seat on a flight so a family could sit together. This beer takes me back to the best coffee I ever had.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard World Tour Of Beers #5 – North Peak Vanilla Porter Pint Glass (186)

The vanilla brightens up this porter, maybe the sweetest porter I’ve had, though it’s still bitter.

#2025 #beer #FermentedFriday #NorthPeak #VanillaPorter #WinkingLizard #WorldTourOfBeers

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard World Tour Of Beers #3 – Angry Orchard Cider Pint Glass (121)

It’s a traditional apple cider, which makes me wish there was a comforting and warm cinnamon dessert to go with this.

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour #2 – 3 Floyds Robert The Bruce Scotch Ale Pint Glass (117)

Staying with 3 Floyds for the night, this Scotch ale is smooth, but close to a stout like Guinness in its flavor.

#2025 #3Floyds #beer #FermentedFriday #RobertTheBruce #ScotchAle #WinkingLizard #WorldTourOfBeers

Fermented Friday: 2025 Winking Lizard Beer Tour #1 – 3 Floyds Zombie Dust Pale Ale Pint Glass (119)

First beer of 2025! This is a light and clean ale with just right amount of refreshing bitterness.

2024 Winking Lizard World Tour Of Beers #85 – Great Lakes Brewing Company Christmas Ale Winter Warmer Pint Glass (275)

It’s a classic AND I get a comfy scarf along with it. What’s not to like?

#2024 #beer #ChristmasAle #FermentedFriday #GreatLakesBrewingCompany #WinkingLizard #WinterWarmer #WorldTourOfBeers

2024 Winking Lizard World Tour Of Beers #84 – Fat Heads Holly Jolly Winter Warmer Pint Glass (584)

A refreshing mix of spicy and sweet, made even more enjoyable with cinnamon on the glass rim.

2024 Winking Lizard World Tour Of Beers #78 – Great Lakes Midwest IPA Pint Glass (148)

This is a pretty hoppy and piney IPA, loaded with bitterness. There was a time I wouldn’t have enjoyed this beer. That time is past.

2024 Winking Lizard World Tour Of Beers #77 – Thirsty Dog Leghunper Peanut Butter Porter 12oz Can (602)

Coffee. Peanut butter. Porter. Those three things go so well together. I’m in heaven.

2024 Winking Lizard World Tour Of Beers #76 – Warpigs Waking The Witch Imperial Black IPA 12oz Can (603)

This beer is as bitter as my soul tonight, and I’m here for it.

It’s election night and, unlike this movie, the goal is not to Kill Or Be Killed. This cider kills with the wonderful tartness of the strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry flavors.

This is one of the lighter pumpkin beers I’ve had. It out allows the cinnamon and spice flavors to shine through more.

The tangy apple cider hits first, but it’s followed by a lovely caramel flavor. A surprising and enjoyable flavor profile.

The original pumpkin beer and one of my favorites. This time, I’m having it with sugar on the rim for an added Halloween blast.

This beer was aged in bourbon barrels and, boy, howdy, you can tell. The flavor is powerful and stays with you for a while. I love it.

While most pumpkin beers are more about the spice than the pumpkin, Frog’s Hollow lives up to the “double” in “double pumpkin ale”.

Speaking of caramel apples, Blake’s has a caramel apple cider! I would like more caramel flavor, but it’s still very tasty.

This Oktoberfest brew is lighter than usual, but stop has that malty smooth flavor I’ve come to expect.

Before I get into pumpkin beers, time to celebrate Oktoberfest, starting with this classic from Great Lakes, a smooth and easy to drink Marzen with a hint of malt body.

I haven’t had a stout in a while, and the bitter smoothness of this Sullivan’s is perfect.

After you drink a 17.5% ABV brew, you go for the lightest option on the list. Is even batter when it tastes this good.

#2024 #2024Goals #2024WinkingLizardWorldTourOfBeers #beer #FermentedFriday #FruitBeer #RaspberryAle #ThirstyDog #WinkingLizard #WorldTourOfBeers

They call this a “strong dark ale”. That is the understatement of the century. Add to that the 17.5% ABV and I’m questioning my sanity drinking this BEFORE dinner.

This is like drinking a hard iced tea, but better with the honey mead flavor blending with the peach.

Switching to a Pilsner lager, Summerfest gives me a much more wheat based flavor, light and pleasant to drink.

This beer is served in two differently sized glasses on purpose. The smaller glass’ flavor was bolder than the larger, though I enjoyed both.

Another Belgian blond ale in the July mini tour, but this one is smoother and lighter than the previous one. I also taste the coriander, which is a unique flavor.

There isn’t much difference between Sierra Nevada’s Summerfest and their Pale Ale outside of a little more body to the ale and a little more ABV. I still enjoyed it, though.

Honestly, I picked this one because it entered me into a drawing for a trip to Boston, but that doesn’t mean the beer isn’t good. Strong and full bodied malt flavor that is refreshing to drink.

This is a mango wheat beer, but the flavor for me tends to lean closer to grapefruit for me. I still enjoy it, but it’s not doing much for me.

For me, this is what a hard iced tea should taste like. The mead, tea, and lemon flavors mix well together, understandably so, with none of them weak or overshadowed by the others.
