Dick’s Brewing Company’s Irish Style Red Ale is a classic take on the traditional Irish red, crafted to highlight balance, approachability, and malt-driven character. Pouring a deep amber hue with ruby highlights and a soft, creamy head, this ale is brewed with specialty malts such as Melanoidin and roasted Munich, which lend flavors of toasted bread, caramel, toffee, and a gentle nuttiness. At 5.2% ABV and a moderate 35 IBU, it strikes the...

- Country: United States
Five Boroughs’ Hoppy Lager presents a bright pale golden hue in the glass, capped by a large head of pale foam that persists well. On the nose, we picked up tropical elements joined by notes of citrus and pine, plus some peach-like stone fruit notes colored by just a wisp of banana, all atop an undercurrent of bready malt. Look for this lager hit quite crisply on the palate due to the hops’ firm perceived bitterness that easily balances the malt...

- Serving Temperature: 48-55º F

Dick’s Brewing Company’s Lava Rock Porter is a bold yet approachable English-style porter that showcases the brewery’s skill in balancing richness with drinkability. Pouring a deep brown, nearly black hue crowned with a creamy head, it is brewed with a thoughtful blend of caramel, chocolate, and black malts, delivering layers of roasted grain, dark chocolate, toffee, and subtle coffee-like bitterness. Magnum and Mt. Hood hops lend balance...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz

- ABV: 6.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 26
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Tulip
- Hops: Columbus, Cascade
- Malts: Canada Pale, Briess C20, Briess C60
- Country: United States
This seasonal beer pours a brilliant amber color topped by a cap of light beige foam. Brewed with a mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, the beer announces its pumpkin-ale-ness immediately at first sniff. Backing the pumpkin spice notes is some earthy hop character with zesty touches of citrus rind, plus a dose of caramelized malt lurking below it all. Look for those malts to form a solid underpinning in the flavor too, bringing moderate...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA
- ABV: 6.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 65
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass
- Hops: El Dorado, Azacca
- Malts: 2-Row, Dextrin, Wheat Malt
- Country: United States
Sometimes naming a beer is hard and it’s best to just keep it simple. That’s what happened here. This IPA started off as a test batch the Dick’s team called, well, Test Batch, and after they decided to make it a more regular offering, they simply decided to name it Batch 202, which we think has a good ring to it. This IPA pours a hazy golden-orange hue with a robust head of persistent foam. Look for the nose on this one to come through quite...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: New England-style Hazy IPA
- ABV: 6.2%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 55
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass
- Hops: El Dorado, Amarillo
- Malts: 2-Row, Dextrin, Flaked Wheat, Flaked Oats
- Country: United States
The New England style of “hazy” IPA has really caught on in the last decade, and this offering from Dick’s is their take on the popular style. Unsurprisingly, this unfiltered brew pours a very hazy golden-orange color, capped by a voluminous head of fluffy foam that laces nicely. On the nose: beautiful, luscious, fruity hops! Look for prominent citrus notes of grapefruit, orange, and tangerine, backed up by some tropical impressions, melon...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: New England-style Hazy IPA
- ABV: 6.5%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 45
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass
- Hops: Amarillo, Citra
- Malts: Canada Malting 2-Row, Canada Malting Wheat
- Country: United States
Pouring a rich golden color that’s well-hazed, and topped with a prominent cap of off-white foam, Gridlock immediately offered up bright, vibrant aromas that drew us in. Look for boldly citric character delivering big notes of orange zest backed by touches of grapefruit juice, hints of melon and ripe stone fruits, and some light tropical and floral tones. On the palate, lots of zesty citrus continues to take center stage with bright, juicy...
- Bottle Size: 330-ml
- Style: Czech / Bohemian Pilsner
- ABV: 26
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 26
- Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Czech Pilsner Glass, Pint Glass,
- Country: Czech Republic
Pivovar Samson 1795 Lager carries more than two centuries of brewing heritage. Founded in 1795, Samson is one of the world’s oldest continuously operating breweries, firmly rooted in the traditions that made Czech lagers famous. Pouring a bright golden hue with a soft white head, this lager reveals aromas of freshly baked bread, biscuit malt, and delicate herbal hops. On the palate, it strikes a perfect balance between light malt sweetness...
- Bottle Size: 500-ml
- Style: Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy
- ABV: 8.5%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 23
- Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Snifter, Tulip, Oversized Wine Glass
- Hops: East Kent Golding
- Malts: Pale, Crystal, Chocolate, Malted Wheat
- Country: Scotland
The “Wee Heavy” or “Scotch Ale” style is a robust, in-your-face beer, so it should come as no surprise Orkney chose to name their version after a fearsome Viking figure from Orcadian history, Thorfinn Turf-Einarsson Hauskaluif. But, Skull Splitter is not a one-trick pony; it offers many, many layers of complexity and subtlety, much like a fine spirit. On the pour, expect a somewhat murky reddish brown color with a head that reduces to a...
- Bottle Size: 16-oz
- Style: Imperial Coffee Stout w/ Vanilla and Lactose
- ABV: 8%
- Serving Temperature: 49–56° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Globe Snifter, Chalis, or Small Nonic
- Country: United States
Hi-Wire’s 10W-40 Maple Breakfast Coffee is a bold imperial stout, offering notes of chocolate, maple, vanilla, cinnamon, and – of course – bold coffee, supplied by Asheville’s High Noon Coffee. On the pour, we get a deep, opaque black with a thick, creamy, medium-brown foam that lingers. The foam retention is moderate, leaving a good amount of lacing around the glass, which emphasizes the seriousness of this stout. The aroma is a decadent mix...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Blonde Ale & Lambic Sour Ale Blend
- ABV: 6.5%
- Serving Temperature: 45–53° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Lambic Tumbler, Flute, or Chardonnay Glass
- Country: Belgium
This blend from Brouwerij Kerkom struck two of our favorite notes—and with force. In the aromatics, the blonde-ale aspect of the blend showed through the most, offering up notes of spice and other soft phenolics: a heady, toasty, yeasty Belgian pale ale, with the undercurrent of that spontaneously fermented lambic element beneath. A deftly handled blend from brewer Marc Limet, Reuss is composed of about 80% blonde and 20% lambic. According to...
