Beer Review: Two Evil Pachamama Porter Brings Chili Peppers And Sweet Potatoes

Two Roads Brewing got together with Evil Twin Brewing and Cervecería Barbarian from Lima Peru, and the three came up with the Two Evil Pachamama Porter. A porter that is highlighted by the use of sweet potatoes, purple main & Aji Panca chili peppers. Offered in a pint can when I purchased it, the alcohol content on this beer is 6.5% ABV and the IBU level is estimated at 55. This is one that had no problem catching my attention when I noticed it in the store. From its sleek looking can and artwork to the description of the beer, it was a no-brainer to throw this one in my basket. All that’s left now is to check it out and see how it delivers. Let’s do this!

Beer Review: Flash Lamp - Big And Bright With Flavor You Want

I decided to go local with this one and picked up a can of Flash Lamp from Urban Artifact here in Cincinnati, Ohio. This Witbier is highlighted as a tart white ale packed with orange marmalade, rose pedals and coriander seed. Its alcohol content is noted at 5.5% ABV but the IBU was not found for this one, although a pH of 3.2 was indicated. This all being said, I am looking forward to checking this one out as I always like enjoying the treats from of our local breweries.

Basement Beer Tour: What Do I Have Hiding Away - Let's See

While I enjoy being able to review beers, any beer reviewer will probably tell you that with doing so comes the building of a beer cellar or basement. It almost seems inevitable that with looking to gather many beer, that at some point you will become over run with them. Mind you, this is not a bad thing as I have never once said that I have too much beer. I would bet that not many a reviewer has done so either. That being said, I thought that I would provide a little tour of my beer basement for you to see and know what other beers to expect for reviews.

So grab a pint, click the video below and c’mon and enjoy while you “Get Your Beer On!”

Beer Review: Blue Point Brewing Citrus Plunge

Blue Point Brewing Company out of Patchogue, New York is one more of those so-called former craft breweries to now be under ABInBev and looked upon as a macro brewery. For me as previously noted, I look at these breweries and their beers as being more of craft ones though, however, by the Brewers Association definition then macro would be the assumed definition. That being said, recently I had decided to pick-up their Citrus Plunge American IPA to look at here for another beer review. Even though it is not technically craft, it is beer and I have no problem trying those that may now be on the outside looking in when the opportunity may be presented. I don’t hunt for them but I don’t turn my nose up either.

That being said, I am looking to see what this one has to offer. The beer comes in with an alcohol content of 6.5% ABV and is marketed as being highlighted by the use of orange blossom honey and fresh blood oranges for an added sweetness to complement the citrusy hops used. Its availability is limited to March through September, but I am looking to see how this one is as I have been surprised by some of the other Blue Point offerings.

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!

Beer Review: 10 Barrel Razz Berry IPA

Macro brewing companies buying micro brewing companies often brings with it a double edged sword. One edge is that the smaller breweries fall under the umbrella of the big breweries and could possibly look to lose their control, while with the other edge distribution for a smaller brewery becomes possibly great and allows access to markets which they may have never had. It is quite the situation, and there are emotions high on both sides. However for me, the idea of being able to try new beers is a great opportunity to try the things that previously we would only hear or read about.

10 Barrel Brewing Company is one of these companies and due to their acquisition by ABInBev; there beers are now starting to become available here in the Cincinnati area. And because of this, I was able to pick up their Razz Berry IPA. Now, this doesn’t mean that I am looking to spend a lot more time drinking these “Crafty” beers, but it does mean that I am not going to just pass over these beers either as I will try them from time to time.

That being said, the Razz Berry IPA was somewhat of an alluring beer to check out. A raspberry IPA definitely piqued my interest, and thought why not throw it in the basket. Coming in with an alcohol content of 6.8% ABV let’s see how this one plays out. Grab a pint and check out my review by clicking on the video below and join me to “Get Your Beer On.” Cheers!

Beer Review: Sweetwater TripleTail Tropical IPA

The TripleTail Tropical IPA from Sweetwater Brewing Company was the last of my beers to enjoy while basking in the sun at Buffalo Bob’s and enjoying my cigar. If you are not familiar with Sweetwater then they are a brewery from out of Atlanta Georgia and they have put together a quite decent line of beers. And on a warm day in the seventies, what could be better than a nice tropical beer?

This beer comes in with an alcohol content of 5.5% ABV and an IBU level of 57. It is one of their seasonal brews and is currently available now through December, so if you want to try it then do not wait too long or you may miss it. But enough said, check out my video below to see what I think about this one and remember to grab a pint so you too can “Get Your Beer On!” Cheers!

Beer Review: Rhinegeist Trip Trap

A beautiful day for some beer drinking and cigar smoking, and here is a look at another one of the beers that I enjoyed while having lunch at one of our local establishments, Buffalo Bob’s. Trip Tap is one of the new brews from Rhinegeist Brewery here in Cincinnati. Funny thing is I thought it was one of the other beers at first when I received the beer and it just didn’t seem right. Luckily my spider sense was tingling and I was able to gather more details to find out that it was a different beer. Watch the video and you will see what I mean, but back to the beer.

Trip Trap is an American Pale Ale that has an alcohol content of 5.7% ABV and 48 IBU. Check out my video below to see what I thought about the beer and then become surprised to find out it is different than expected. I am glad that I did because it didn’t taste anything like the Trips, and was afraid that I was losing something, lol.

So grab a pint, turn on the video and join me while you “Get Your Beer On.” Cheers!

Beer Review: Rhinegeist Stryker

Rhinegeist Brewery is one of our local Cincinnati breweries and one of the beers I often enjoy from them as somewhat of a favorite is their Stryker. The beer itself is a Triple IPA with an alcohol content of 9.3% ABV and an IBU level of 100, which usually plays out as nowhere close to that. With notes of citrus and resinous tones, this beer is usually a stand out especially with the passion fruit flavor which usually comes through.

The beer itself named after one of the lead brewers is offered only during a certain time of the year, so if you happen to see it then it is often best to get it before it disappears. I am looking forward to checking out the 2017 edition, so join me by watching the video below and grab a cold one so that you too can “Get Your Beer On.” Cheers!

Beer Review: Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest - Brauhaus Miltenberger

With fall comes the changing of colors, the coolness of the temps, the early darkening of the day, and oh yes, Oktoberfest. We can’t forget Oktoberfest and all the beers and of course events that are bestowed upon us at that time and all of the pleasantries that we get to enjoy. So it’s only fitting for me to enjoy a beer honoring just that.

The Oktoberfest – Brauhaus Miltenberger from Sierra Nevada Brewing is just a beer to do so. I mean Oktoberfest is right there on the can. This is the 2017 edition of their Oktoberfest and each year Sierra Nevada collaborates with an overseas brewer for the beer; this year it is Brauhaus Faust-Miltenberger that was chosen. The beer comes in with an alcohol content of 6.1% ABV and an IBU level of 30. Now this is interesting because IBU’s are usually lower for this style, so I will be looking for a little bittering kick for sure.

I am ready to see what this Festbier offers, so grab a beer and join me by checking out my video below to see what I find. And together, we will “Get Our Beer On!” Cheers!
