New Beer Friday 12/17/21

Nearly forty beers this week, and I drank them all! Actually I probably didn't even have half. But in my tiny mind I swilled every last one! If these don't get you prepped for the holidays, nothing will. This New Beer Friday list is somewhat incomplete because I ran out of gas compiling it. Very sorry. 

RoHa - Spudnik 7: If you’re familiar with your hops, you may have guessed this is made with Idaho 7. This has mostly herbal hops with some citrus peel. malt profile is mostly toasty with light caramel. 5.0% Available at Roha.

Bewilder - WhistleGoWoo: This saison was dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin & Motueka. The aroma is all clove & bubblegum. The taste starts the same, then the hops come in with spicy orange peel and a good dose of herbal hops smacking the sides of the tongue. The hop bill here helps keep the yeast from getting too ‘chewy’ & gives the beer some balance. 5.0% - Available at Bewilder starting today.  

Bewilder/Strap Tank - Wee Heavy: The boys and girls at both breweries decided to go with a direct fire boil, to ‘amp up’ the caramelization in this single malt ale. The nose is mostly caramel and floral hops. The taste is all creamy caramel. There’s some nice vague fruity notes in there as well, but holy shit this pleasant and dangerous. The 10.4% ABV is hard to detect until it warms. Outstanding Wee Heavy. Available at Bewilder today. Strap Tank will have some to sell as well; keep your eye on their social media for the where and when. 

Strap Tank - V-Twin (Nitro): Who loves a lager on nitro? This beer nerd right here. You might ask, “this ain’t a new beer”! and I’d reply, “au contraire mon ami”. The simple change of gas can completely alter a beer’s flavor profile. You’d be surprised by how bitter co2 can be. This lager is a Vienna. It come across more sweet than normal. The nitro gives its creamy texture that amplifies the nuttiness from the base malts. Hops are grassy and herbal. Excellent stuff. 5.0% - Only a Strap Tank Lehi 

Epic - Big Boy Hoppy Brown: O.G. beer nerds will remember Epic’s Santa Cruz. It was billed as a ‘brown IPA’ and I very much loved it. Apparently I was the only one. After years of pissing in Epic’s ear in regards to bringing it back, the powers that be decided to shut me up and resurrect Santa Cruz as Big Boy Hoppy Brown. It’s not the same beer, the malts bill has been altered along with hops. As far as brown ales go this less malty and much more toasty. The hop bill offers a punch of floral & pine along with an amped-up ABV. Nostalgia seekers & beer nerds who require something different- look no further. 7.4% - Available at Epic. 

Policy Kings - WiseUp: Missed this new IPA. 5.0% - Only at Policy Kings

Fisher - Buzzard's British Brown: A medium amount of malt sweetness with an extra dose of toastiness. Light floral hops round it out.

Fisher - Desert Rose Prickly Pear Lager: Prickly pear is dominant. It's not super sweet but it does dominate most of the lager. 5.0% - Only at Fisher.

Grid City - Oatmeal Stout: This comes across as your classic Irish oatmeal stout. A medium amount of roasted grains, cocoa and light malt tartness. Textbook stuff. 4.7% - Only at Grid City 

Shades - Pecan Pie: Missed this, and I love pecan pie! 6.5% - Available at Shades

Toasted Barrel - Biere de Garde: Missed thiss sour aged in whiskey barrels. 7.0% - Available at Toasted Barrel.

BootStrap Brewing - Lush PuppyNot super juicy. Nice citrus with herbal qualities. It’s okay. 6.3% 8.5% Found at Beer Bar, Bayou and Slackwater.

BootStrap Brewing - insane RushMore Ruby colored than your typical IPA nowadays. More malty too. A very nice, sorta old school IPA. Love caramel and the late addition citrus/berry hops. Very nice. 7.6% Found at Beer Bar, Bayou and Slackwater.

BootStrap Brewing - Wreak HavocA very nice nice Impy Red with light citrus & berry notes. Light fruity malts as well. Very nice. 8.5% Found at Beer Bar, Bayou and Slackwater.

Pipeworks - Abominable Snowman vs Unicorn: Missed this IPA Found at Beer Bar, Bayou and Slackwater.

Pipeworks - Forest Fauna: Missed this IPA- Found at Beer Bar, Bayou and Slackwater.
