Beer Review: Elysian Brewing Gorillas On Bikes

Welcome back to all of you BeerVenturers old and new as I take a look at yet another beer that I am going to place under the “Crafty” label. Gorillas on Bikes is Grape IPA from Elysian Brewing Company, yes, I said grape. The beer itself is brewed with Concord grapes, Nelson Sauvin, Hallertau Blanc and Simcoe hops. Quite an interesting concoction and that along with its fun looking label is what led to me picking up this one and throwing it in the cart. The alcohol content comes in with an ABV of 6.5% and the IBU level was not listed on the bottle. I am looking forward to seeing how this one plays out.

So you know the routine, grab a pint and a seat and click the video below to hear and see my thoughts on this beer while you “Get Your Beer On.” Cheers!
