Spring may be right around the corner, but we're keeping our beers dark...for now. We're headed to San Diego to review one of our local favorites from North Park: Fall Brewing Company. Bourbon Barrel Aged Jinx Remover is an Imperial Dark Lager that has spent some time in Old Forrester Bourbon barrels. It's full of the flavors you'd expect, but drinks like a lager.
We also talk a little about how great North Park is and have some suggestions if you're going to be down in the area.

Cheers land lovers! We're off to sea this week as we sip on and review Wreck Alley Imperial Stout from Karl Strauss Brewing Company. Wreck Alley is full of locally sourced coffee, chocolate, and a darkness that has only been seen at the bottom of the ocean. This big imperial stout is 9% of dessert drinking, but will it be a harmonious buried treasure?

What is your go-to when it comes to dessert beers?

It may be winter time, but I think we all need a break from the big, dark beers. So we're going with a big, hoppy beer. Lord Hobo Brewing Company's Consolation Prize is a hazy double IPA from one of the biggest names in hazy beers. Consolation Prize is resulting in flavors of pineapple, mango, and melon and sports a pilsner base. It's an easy to drink double IPA that hides it's higher ABV well, but will it be too hoppy to be a harmonious decision?
We want to hear about your favorite hazy double, what is your go-to?

It may be cold and rainy, but the beer is getting big and boozy! We're drinking one of our favorite local breweries, M. Special Brewing Company out of Goleta, CA. Double Down Dozer Brown One Bourbon Barrel Aged is a barrel aged version of their delicious Dozer Brown. The DDDBO is a big beer with all of the classic barrel aged flavors, but it has a lighter mouthfeel and lends itself to some easier drinking (could be dangerous). Will this be a harmonious, bourbon-filled treat? Or will one of us be looking for something a little lower in ABV?
What is your favorite bourbon barrel aged beer?

It may be the holiday season, but we're cleansing our palates from the big, boozy, and barrel aged. We're going back to Sierra Nevada to review their hoppy, blonde ale: BFD (Beer for Drinking). There's nothing complicated or overly fancy with this one, it's exactly as it sounds. Will the hops be too much for Shannon, or will it be hoppy enough for Greg?
We also discuss the great thing that Sierra Nevada and 1,400 other breweries are doing: Resilience Butte County Proud IPA. It's a beer to benefit the victims of the devastating Camp fire in Northern California. You can find a map of all the breweries that are taking place here: www.sierranevada.com/resilience-butte-county-proud-ipa

The weather is cooling down and we're getting into the holiday spirit with a seasonal classic in the beer world. We are drinking the 2018 Christmas Ale from Anchor Brewing in San Francisco, CA. Anchor has been releasing the Christmas Ale since 1975, and it has a slightly different recipe every year. This year's version has flavors of toasty cocoa, brûléed sugars, roasted malts and strong aromas of resinous pine. Will this be a harmonious winner? Or will there be too much bitterness to get on the same page?
What beer is your favorite to have around Christmas time?

Pucker up sour fans, we have quite the treat for you. We were gifted a special treat and for this review we're drinking Petrus Aged Ale Limited Single Foeder Release from Brewery De Brabandere. This is a special release that Brewery De Brabandere is doing with Trader Joe's grocery stores. The second release in the series, this one is five out of five on the sour scale, full of oak flavor and claims to be the champagne of sours. Will this be too much sour for us? Or will this be the sour to turn even the most stubborn of beer drinkers?
What sour is your favorite?
Thank you to Ollie for the beer!

Samuel Adams is one of the biggest craft breweries in the world, producing 4 million barrels of beer just last year. But does more mean better when it comes to their seasonal releases?
We're drinking and reviewing Samuel Adams Winter Lager, a winter bock spiced with cinnamon, ginger, and orange peel. This could prove to be the easy drinking, light, spicy beer that brings beer harmony to everyone. It could also be a gimmicky, over spiced lager that sits in the back of the fridge until an unsuspecting friend comes over.
We want to know what your favorite light winter beer is, or if you've had a Samuel Adams Winter Lager.

Do you love Halloween beers but just can't get behind all those pumpkin monstrosities out there? We're drinking and reviewing Heretic Brewing Company's Evil Twin Red Ale. With those rich flavors that you expect from a red with paired with a little bit of backbone from 45 IBUs, Evil Twin is sure to please those Halloween beer seekers. But will the higher IBU count turn off those who aren't in for the hops?

What is your favorite Halloween beer?

Ke aloha beer lovers! This week we are channeling our inner tiki god as we review a new IPA from Northern California. This week's review is Tiki Totem from Bear Republic. This juicy IPA definitely packs a fruity punch, thanks to the variation of hops used and drinks nice and easy at 6%. The real question is will the hop sensitive one of the group be a fan?
Have you had a chance to try this new IPA? Let us know about it!
