Celebration Fresh Hop IPA

Sierra Nevada

 

Cico, CA

Freshly picked hops, rushed from farm to brewery, fill Celebration IPA with powerful citrus and pine flavors. When you’re on the slopes with friends or building a backyard campfire for the fam, you need a beer as fresh as fallen snow. Pure hops, balanced with rich caramel malt, make this a celebration in every sip.

Frost Bier Kolsch

Frost Town Brewing

Houston, TX

This is a great example of a Kolsch.

A signature light ale that isn’t light on flavor! This kolsch offers pleasant aromas of honey and fresh baked bread.

I had this on tap at the brewery which is a great place to visit if your in Houston near the Ball Park dowtown.

Somethin' Light

Eureka Heights

Houston, TX

This beer pours great with a light aroma. Made with Hallertau Hersbrucker hops and 2-row, Flaked Maize and Weyerman Carafoam.

At 100 calories, these gloriously light, crispy boys are robust with flavor, not carbs, only 3 to be exact.

This is a light beer that actually has great flavor! If your looking for something on the lighter side then this is one to check out

DEADHEAD IPA

Destihl Brewery

Normal, Illinois

Pours great with a fresh fruity hop smell.

Like the bold colors & patterns of a tie-dye shirt, this West Coast-Style IPA is bursting with psychedelic hoppiness, fruity aromas & balanced bitterness from Citra, Simcoe & Chinook hops with a vintage malt backdrop. 

To me this taste more like a hazy which may make it more drinkable for some who are afraid of the West Coast Style.

SHER MAN BOCK

903 Brewing

Sherman, TX

This is a great example of why you should check your dates before purchasing. I was in a rush and did not check.

The beer pours great with good head and color but unfortunetly that is all that I can say good about this beer. Now this is not the breweries fault. I am sure that when it was packaged in March 9, 2024 that is was great but 7 1/2 months in can has not been kind to this beer.

It was sour and way off taste!

ALWAYS CHECK YOUR DATES!!!!
