Geyser Gose is a collaboration between two breweries I typically have good luck with. Two Roads Brewing brews quite a few varieties of gose that are all pretty good, and Evil Twin (founded/owned by the twin brother of Mikkeller's founder/brewer) pretty much always has delicious beers - regardless of how crazy some of their names/ingredients...

Peekskill Valley Life NEIPA
My father-in-law travels down to West Point for an Army football game every year with some of his buddies, typically stopping at a brewery or two on the way there or back, and The Peekskill Brewery is one they've stopped by and mentioned to me. When I saw a 6-pack of their Valley Life New... Continue Reading →

Barney Flats smells wonderful, with its oatmeal, chocolate, coffee, and malt aroma. It's sure to smell like something you'll want... Continue Reading →
Eight Degrees Knockme(al) Down Porter
This is a beer from 8 Degrees Brewing Company in County Cork, Ireland. As an English Porter it delivers a great, malty taste. The bottle says it is balanced well using old world hops, I would say that it definitely leans toward the malts. Even though it leans strongly toward malts, I can't help but... Continue Reading →
