For Beer's Sake

WE’RE BACK! After a short break, and boy are we EXCITED!!!

Some real Gold Medal winners in this lot! Shiga Kogen beers from Tamamura Honten Co. a sake brewery. Eight beers, all purchased from the Nagano area, where the brewery is situated.

Sit back and enjoy the boys discuss these fantastic local Japanese Craft beers!

Today we tasted some great beers from the Heart of Darkness brewery, which is located in Vietnam. Some beers from Massachusetts and the Night Shift Brewing Brewery also a solid beer from Japan and the Far Yeast IPA. Rounding off the night is one of our favorite breweries Revision and their beer The Bruff.

You counted right… 3 countries in one night….

Welcome to our mini-episode, drinking a beer from Gweilo Beer a brewery out of Hong Kong.

From their description – Brewed with our friends at Magic Rock, Solitaire is a seriously juicy Double NEIPA. No expense has been spared on this bad boy with a huge dry hop of Galaxy, Aloha, Citra Cryo, El Dorado and Denali. These are carried by the base of pale malt, wheat and oats to create a super rich, tropical hop bomb. Gently roll the can before opening and drink it fresh to ensure maximum juiciness.  ABV 8.5% IBU 35

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
