Odd 13 Brewing's I-P-Alien

I am drinking a I-P-Alien by Odd 13 Brewing @ Montgomery Hills.

  • Beer: I-P-Alien
  • Style: IPA - American
  • Alcohol by volume (ABV): 7%
  • IBU: 0
  • My rating: 3.5/5
  • Brewer's notes: I-P-Alien is an India Pale Ale brewed with hops that feature space-themed names. Galaxy, Comet and Apollo all play a role. Very low bitterness and massive dry hopping combine to create an incredibly juicy hop bomb of an IPA.

Belching Beaver does not brew good beer. We brew truly great beer. Currently, we are crafting 7 distinct beers that range from blondes to stouts, which are sure to please anyone’s tastes. Our first priority is using quality ingredients to create the beer recipes at our microbrewery. When we decided to move forward with the brewery, we told Troy not to worry about how much money we were spending on ingredients. With a name like Belching Beaver, we better have great beer or we would be the biggest joke in town. We contracted our hops before we found a location or even bought equipment. I told Troy that I would throw any beer out and delay opening unless it was perfect. In truth, we had no worries because Troy makes great beer. He did not disappoint! As my wife would say, “It’s fabulous.” Our customers say, “They’re all fabulous.” As Dave would say…well he would sniff out each aroma hop, and then describe the grapefruit flavors, the honey overtones and the crisp clean orange peel that delights the palate. I just say, “Man, great beer!”

Breakside Brewery's Kids These Haze

I am drinking a Kids These Haze by Breakside Brewery @ Montgomery Hills.

Subtle funky taste and aroma but not hazy at all compared to a New England style IPA. Drinking with blackened salmon and steamed vegetables.
