\"mikkeller-koppi-ipa-citra-wachuri-bottle\"<\/a>My role at All About Beer<\/em> has recently expanded a bit, beyond overseeing our reviews system and managing the beer side of our World Beer Festivals (etc.), to include a new column. It\u2019s slowly|amusingly turned into me taking deep-dives into parts of the beer world I don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n

Fruit IPAs, coffee beers (I\u2019m an outlier here) and, most recently, quick-\/kettle-soured beers. My beer-loving wife, normally on board for pretty much anything (except smoked beer), has been like: You\u2019re on your own. Fruit IPAs, coffee beers, quick sours: couple dozen at a time. No help. Our sink\u2019s usually drunk. The recycling bin contents makes us look like odd pirates.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong. Some folks love these. But I cannot for the life of me say that my heart beats faster when a new kettle sour appears on the shelf. Fruit IPAs still, generally, just make me wish for normal IPAs (ideally loaded with late hop additions). But the newer coffee beers were, surprisingly, pretty great.<\/p>\n

(I\u2019ve also been threatened with having to review hard sodas. \u2026 Not really. I volunteered.)<\/p>\n

Coffee beers: I\u2019ve been jaded by so many iffy ones in the past. But this time around our top picks were stellar\u2014and all from SoCal: Modern Times City of the Dead (barrel-aged coffee!), Stone Americano Stout (seamless) and AleSmith\u2019s new Hammerhead Speedway. All glorious, and making me regret bad words I\u2019ve spoken about coffee beers in the past. (Stone\u2019s Mocha IPA has been a standout new release in the time since then.) With cold-brewed additions and boutique-roaster collaborations like never before, we\u2019re just starting to approach peak coffee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
