Returning Favorites

Bewilder - Imperial Mole Porter: Aged in Tequila barrels and brewed with cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon - chipotle, mulato and pasilla negro peppers. Aroma of mostly cinnamon and cocoa. Flavors follow with a nice spicy mix of cinnamon vanilla and chilies. Not heat to speak of and there’s a hint of earthy tequila and oak in the finish. 

Bewilder - Mole Porter: This version has an English Porter base with Cacao, cinnamon, and chipotle peppers.

2 Row Smoked Habanero Porter: The aroma has a faint hint of chilies and roasted malt. In the mouth you get a nice dose of cocoa and dark roast coffee. The habanero heat is pretty subtle and is mostly limited to a scratchiness on the back of the throat, with little fire. A solid chile beer. 7.5% Available at 2 Row

Hopkins - Chili Mangose: This gose-style ale is soured naturally with lactobacillus. Look for flavors of sea salt, coriander, and chili powder, along with mango puree and roasted jalapeño.  The peppers provide a smoky, spicy aroma and a delicate spice on the palate. Mango gives the impression of sweetness and the tartness melds beautifully with the salt. 

Here are this week's Small Batch Beers from Hopkins Brewing.

Cheers!

Level Crossing - Unknown Legend: There’s something about a Czech lager that speaks volumes over others the pils family. That hop profile, here it’s classic with a hint of Hallertau Blanc and X-14. These give it that fruity/fuller body that lovers of CZs expect. Love this style and lager. 6.2% - Available starting today at Level Crossing. 

Chappell - D-Bag Series (Ozzy): The second beer in Chappell's barrel-aged series of beers features their War Pig Black Ale that has been aging in bourbon barrels from Fray Ranch Distillery for over a year. Very subtle flavors. A good dose of roasty malt & piney hops too. The barrel is a whole other thing. Excellent bourbon & oak sweetness counters the above mentioned flavors to create an American BA session stout that gives a sessionable BA ale depth. 7.0% - Only at Chappell.

 Offset - DAMP 25.04: Offset's final fresh hop beer features 20lb/bbl of wet Gooding Mosaic and wet Jackson Krush with some added Cashmere and Citra. Oh my, the 25.04 really sings to me compared to 25.03. The flavors are so much more broad. I loved the .03 full body; but oh my F’n G! This is at a whole new level. Chewy, citrus zest, hop resin, flowery, tropical and berry notes. This is f’n witchcraft in beer form. 8.0% - Available at Offset, found at the Bayou.

RoHa - Recession Proof: This Hazy Pale Ale Nice has a nice combo of toasty malt and citrus. Reminds me of a nice mid 2000s pale with a great hop profile. The mouthfeel is all 2025 though. A nice combo of the two Generational flavors. Yup it’s Recession Proof! 5.0% - Available at RoHa.

Grid City - Drunken Kitchen Rice Lager: A massive amount of pils malt and jasmine rice with a salad of Huel Melon and Saaz hops. Big lemon zest nose, with toasty grains. There’s a crazy body here that’s light but “fortified”. The rice/hop bill is magic here. A unique, softly sweet, but dry finish wraps it up. 5.0% - Available now at Grid City.

Uinta - Tropical Staycation: This ale was made with a theorized yeast, which adds a huge amount of fruitiness to beer. Whoa! Those thiols are really pop’n in the nose. Can smell this at arm length. Full of pineapple, bitter orange peel and strawberry. Drinks very well. The hops add a punch of stone-fruit and the finish is lingering and dry. I’ve missed bitter pales. 5.0% - Available now at Uinta.

Proper - Vier Lager: A wet hopped German pale lager. Debuts today. 5.0% at Proper on Main Street.
