New Beer Christmas Eve 12/24/21

All I can say is, please be happy and safe this holiday. Too many wonderful people have left us this year due to COVID and other equally shitty things. Here's a merry list of beers that will be available today for a limited time this afternoon. Most of the breweries will be closing early today, so I recommend getting your Christmas Day beverages earlier, rather than later. Let's share a pint soon and happy New Beer Christmas Eve. 

RoHa - Dog Tag IPA: Probably one of the more unique IPAs from RoHa. This is very citrus forward with lotsa lemon grass, lime & floral profiles. It’s herbal, but not obnoxiously so. In closing: If lemon, lime and botanicals are on your happiness chart look no further. 5.0% - Only at RoHa.

Grid City - The Big Fruit Cake: At first swig I thought this was a Sierra Nevada Bigfoot. It hits all the right notes. Then all of the dark fruits roll in; cherries, fig, dates with a shload of toffee & tobacco. It finished with cranberry & a medium citrus peel & pine bitterness.11.3% - Only at Grid City.

Toasted Barrel - Tiger's Bolld Snow Cone IPA: It smells like a milkshake, it tastes like a milkshake, but this is no lactose IPA. 44 LBS of coconut gives this unique IPA its creamy feel. The strawberry & watermelon work perfectly with the hops to make this DIPA highly drinkable & enjoyable. 10.0% Only at Toasted Barrel.    

Bewilder - Plumdog Millionaire: Nutty & malty aroma. The flavor is much more berry forward. For the most part this is all fruit, but the end still retains some of its blonde roots. PUN INTENDED! 5.0% - Only at Bewilder.

Shades Carrot Cake: The aroma is absolutely dead on. There is not much else to really say. Vanilla, cinnamon, a toffee sweet malt aroma, ginger, and nutmeg. I think that covers it. Wow, the flavor is nice, but does not quite live up to the aroma. Some toffee sweetness goes with the malt flavor, and some vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and all spice are there as well. 

Fisher - White IPA: This is a new higher alcohol version of the Fisher favorite.  There's a very aromatic nose of citrus peel here, along with light biscuit malt. The hops finish it off with nice citrus and tropical flavors. Very nice! 7.5% - Only at Fisher to-go in 32 ounce crowlers.

The following are new from Offset Bier 

Tmavé Pivo Czech Dark Lager: Notes of milk chocolate with spicy hop character from the copious additions of Czech grown Saaz.  Packed with flavor yet so light on the palate and easy to drink due to it’s extended 6 week lagering time. 5.0% - Only at Offset Bier.

Helles German Pale Lager: A very traditional German light lager. Yeast from an old Monastic brewery, step mashed, cold fermented, naturally carbonated, and 6 weeks lagered. Bier flavored Beer. 5.0% - Only at Offset Bier.

Phone It In Modern IPA: This one features Strata and Idaho 7 hops. Potent hop aromas of Strawberry, Peach, Dankness, and a hint of Melon. Hazy 'cause it’s hoppy. 7.8% 

Pale Ale Classic American Pale Ale: Hopped with Cascade and heavy amounts of choice Centennial. Prominent notes of fresh cut lemons backed up by pine and slight floral notes. 5.0% - Only at Offset Bier. 

Divi IPA: New recipe! Hopped heavily with Idaho 7, Citra, HBC 586, and the new hot hop from New Zealand, Nectaron. Notes of Pineapple, passion fruit, grapefruit, mango, guava, lychee, and coconut. 

Cheers!
