Hey Nerds,
You didn’t think I’d forget to post our weekly beer roundup, did you? Of course not!
This week we were a little more diverse in our drinking, we attended a virtual wine event, so our beer consumption took a hit. So this week’s roundup is a short list.
September 13 – September 19
Celebrate! – Panther Island Brewing
Stout – Pastry
6.5% ABV – N/A IBU
Rated: 3.7 out of 5 bottle caps
Punkel – Lakewood Brewing Company
Spiced/Herbed Beer
5.5% ABV – 23 IBU
Rated: 4 out of 5 bottle caps
Naughty Grandma – Trinity Cider
Cider – Herbed/Spiced/Hopped
7% ABV – N/A IBU
Rated: 4.5 out of 5 bottle caps
We had never had cider from this cidery before and I was a big fan. It was spicy and had a nice flavor. You can attribute that to the cinnamon (huge fan). Looking at their website and they have a Black is Beautiful cider!?!?? Going to have to check them out in person some day.
Boreas – Panther Island Brewing
Stout – Imperial/Double
10.5% ABV – N/A IBU
Rated: 4.1 out of 5 bottle caps
I had meant to try Boreas before now, but never had the chance. This heavy stout did not disappoint. It was a solid stout to drink away my sorrows upon learning of the passing of the Notorious RBG.
Black is Beautiful – Turning Point Beer
Stout – Imperial/Double
10% ABV – N/A IBU
Rated: 5 out of 5 bottle caps
Bourbon Barrel Aged Frigid Underworld Vol 2 (2019-2020) – Hop and Sting Brewing Company
Stout – Imperial/Double
11.3% ABV – 75 IBU
Rated: 5 out of 5 bottle caps
And if you were wondering which wines we drank this week, they were:
- 2018 Lost Poet Red Blend
- 2018 Pacificana Merlot
- 2018 Akoya Chardonnay
- 2019 Vinyasa Gewürtztraminer
All of these wine were purchased through Winc and delivered directly to our home! God, I love how far we’ve come with alcohol delivery.
As always, drink responsibly and let’s see if we can do better this week.
Cheers,
Head Nerd
