DDH Medina Sod is a very unique pale wheat ale. This is definitely not a basic wheat ale. Here's my advice, drink the beer and forget the style - just enjoy it! If you like Brash EZ-7, then you will love DDH Medina Sod....
Brash Abide has hints of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and a well-balanced bitterness that presents surprisingly sweet. It greets your taste buds eloquently and deliciously, ending with ...
I was nervous as hell to try out another one of Copperheads concoctions since my last just didn’t sit right with me (*cough* Medusa *cough*). So on a suggestion, given by several of my fellow authors, I ventured once more down the aisles of HEB toward the Houston craft beer section and found a brew that would restore my confidence in their brewing company...
I've been jonesin' to get Lame Duck in cans and I am pretty sure I pestered the guys about it the last few times I have been out to the brewery. In fact, last time I went, they showed Chris and I the can design for Lame Duck and it is...
When I poured Goat Roper into that lovely Beer Chronicle pint glass, the light revealed why it's called a "brown porter." The brew was completely an opaque, brown color that looked more like squid ink when you took the light away. A comparison we can all understand:...
Time out. If you're reading Satyr's Swill as "Satire's Swill," you're doing it wrong. Try this on for size: "Say-der's Swill." Satyr is a mythological man/goat/horse creature known for indulging in...
The DL Double drinks much easier than its 8.2 ABV. The pour is a dark orange juice color with just the right amount of head. The nose on the beer radiates an intense tropical aroma. One sip, and it's easy to tell the flavor on the DL Double is well balanced from beginning to end. First, the seriously intense tropical hoppy flavor comes through...
As it goes down, there's a soft after taste of more Grapefruit, pineapple and tropical goodness followed by a long-lingering aftertaste. It's a dangerously smooth 8% though. There's a tiny alcohol note on the after taste as it warms up, but...
This brew is light bodied and has an immediate hoppy kick like any IPA but has a smooth grapefruit like finish. I highly recommend enjoying this beverage with your favorite fast food or salty snack. The balance between bitter sweet and your favorite greasy burger is...
It's as refreshing as any Pale Ale I've ever had. Pub Crawl Pale Ale smells of very, very vibrant floral and citrus. The can reads "bright and sessionable," and it couldn't be more true. The flavor of Pub Crawl Pale Ale starts off crisp as...
The aroma I got from Color Blind was all hops. Fruity and piney hops. The malt aromas in this light amber colored concoction were completely covered up so I expected to be hit with a hop beam when I took a hearty gulp...
Watermelon Wheat takes their wheat beer base and adds watermelon to it. Pretty simple. The can features a pastel red color with the Galveston Bay lighthouse logo and the name in bold text at the forefront. Waves crash into each other behind...
This craft brew is a Belgian Style Whitbier, which basically means that this summer quencher is not only light and tart but it has enough layered aroma and flavor to rival hearty winter beers. I found it to be an excellent summer brew and it seems like the hundreds of other athletes...
Bobby shared a funny story with us about sourcing the corn for his Blue Testament pils. He looked high and low all over Texas, but nobody was interested in selling the quality corn at such a low volume. Frustrated and at his wits end, he ended up...
There are dozens of macro comparisons here, so I really want to make this one count. One of my good friends is a devout drinker of Dos Equis, and despite me trying again and again to convert him, he's steadfast. I really wanted to try Border Town Lager for him. It reminds me more of a...
More Cowbell pours golden orange and leaves a fine white foam that will sustain itself through the duration of the brew; which if you enjoyed it like I did then it won’t last long. The aroma that it gives off is floral notes with hints of caramel, but the taste is sweet with just the right kick of...
7 Spanish Angels flowed into my pint glass and had a dark amber color that a brown ale should. There wasn't a lot of carbonation after the pour and the little bit that was present faded quickly. I loved the...
Sometime ago, Saint Arnold started having lots of fun with their Boiler Room Berliner Weisse and adding fruit to it. The story goes that the brewery took to the Twitterverse to ask whether they should call this beer, "Raspberry Boiler Room" or "Raspberry AF." Of course, when you ask the internet...
7 Iron is great to share with new drinkers in the craft world because they won’t be turned off by the slight kick of hops. As I mentioned before this is a foundation beer, that was created to be paired with a stick and ball game of Scotland, so it makes sense that the...
There are 2 good months left of 2017's crawfish season, and if you know your way around the boil, you might wait 'til later in the season to get the bigger bugs. If your crawfish boil planning is under way, here are 15 of the best crawfish beers you can have on deck to...
