Eris Pedestrian
Tonight I’m having a cider from Eris Brewery & Cider House called Pedestrian. Pedestrian is their flagship cider and it’s a good one. This is made with Michigan apples and I’m assuming they use some Granny Smith in the mix because that is one of the main flavors I’m getting from this one. Pedestrian has…

2nd Shift Brewing Coffee Liquid Spiritual Delight
Tonight I’m having the coffee version of Liquid Spiritual Delight (LSD) from 2nd Shift Brewing out of St Louis. Wow! I’m a big fan of this one. LSD has a terrific color and a great tan head on it, the coffee hits me in the aroma and makes me glad I’m not going to wake…

Pipeworks Brewing Company Renewed Fate
Earlier tonight I had a hazy Pale Ale from Pipeworks called Renewed Fate. This is a 5.0% ABV Pale that’s loaded with Amarillo, Idaho 7, Mosaic, and Cryo Amarillo hops. Renewed Fate has a nice tropical & Pineapple aroma and flavor. The finish leaves you with a little bitterness at the end. Overall this is…

Half Acre Daisy Cutter
Today I’m having the classic Chicago Pale Ale from Half Acre, Daisy Cutter. Daisy Cutter has been around since 2009 and no doubt belongs on every top Chicago beer there is. Daisy Cutter has the (for me) the perfect golden color to it. I didn’t get a lot of aroma here, it was very subtle.…

Anchor Steam
Tonight I’m having an Anchor Steam. The company and style have been around since 1896 and this is the classic American craft beer first bottled in 1971. This is a can from before the rebranding and was canned 8 months ago so it’s not entirely fresh however this will probably be the last time I…

Half Acre Brewing Co Vallejo IPA
It’s been a while since I’ve had a Vallejo from Half Acre. This is their Summer IPA and it is a good one! Vallejo pours a pale golden color, has a aroma to me of a dank, piney combination. The taste is the same, it’s a good combination of flavors, but for me, I get…
