Offset DAMP 24.01: This Fresh Hop L IPA features wet Amarillo, kilned Amarillo,and organic Citra that were harvested on 8/26, 8/27. Look for lots of citrus and stone fruit note along with a touch of resin and that unique fresh hop character. 5.0% - Available at Offset Bier.

Saltfire - Lupulin Dew: This Citra fresh hop was picked and in the kettle in about six hours. Definitely Citra. Super fresh - from the canning line to my glass! Leafy tangerine aroma. Tastes is similar to Kaffir lime leaves, but with tangerine! It’s all fresh & subtle with an odd non-tart lemony thing happening. Quite tasty. 5.6% - Available now at Saltfire.

SL Brewing - London Fog: Nitro cream ale, made with Earl Gray Tea. Not as sweet as some cream ales 👍 The tea is light, but noticeable. Typical bergamot & orange character. Drinks incredibly well. It just slides down with that nitro conditioning. It's worth your hard earned quatloos. 

SL Brewing - Snake Bite: You can tell, just by looking at this red hued beer that this will have a descent malt backbone. Great citrus peel aroma 🤤 Good caramel & toast up front. Hops come in floral & zesty. It has a medium low amount of lingering bitterness which work well with the malt. More pale ale.

RoHa - Miso's Soup: Aroma has lotsa roasty malts, some dark chocolate too. Espresso up front with some ash & burnt cocoa. Malt profile has more of a Nestles Quik charm with a clean char finish. Nice dark AF lager. 7.8% - Available at Roha - Part of their Brewer's Select Series.

Proper - The Coffeenator: Missed this coffee infused Dopplebock that was lagered in rye whiskey barrels. Made with Culture Coffee. 8.0% - Available at all Proper locations.
