Getting My Beer On Platform High Brow Barista Beer Review

High Brow Barista from Platform Beer Company is one that I picked up a while ago and drank, but am just getting around to uploading the review. It is not an all-year-round offering but it is not one that I would not mind being so. The beer is a Coffee Rye Pale Ale that uses dried coffee beans in conjunction to the spiced rye and other ingredients. At 6.4% ABV, the beer is not boozy and the coffee and spice provide the nice crisp finish as also advertised on the can. It was very smooth and flavorful, light-bodied, aromatic, and just overall a good beer. I can only hope they bring this one back and if you like, coffee and a spice type kick then I think it is definitely worth a try. Check out the video to see and hear more on this one. In addition, if you have had this one then leave a comment in the comments area on what you thought as well.

Getting My Beer On Rivertown Roebling Nitro Beer Review

In the past I had looked at the Roebling Vanilla Espresso Imperial Porter from Rivertown Brewery & Barrel House, however, this is a look at the Nitro version to see how this one compares. At 7.9% ABV, this version is still stacked the same and still provides the same dark, coffee, and roasted qualities of the non-nitro version. However, as an Imperial, I did find this to be a bit thin with a watery quality to it, which I was not really expecting. It did have a smooth feel from the Nitro, but one thing I have noticed from both versions is that on draft has totally worked better for me than the canned versions. As I look back on my Untappd, it is almost a night and day experience from my notes and comments. Funny how that works out, but check out the video to see and hear more of my thoughts on this one. Also, if you have had it before then leave a comment below about your thoughts on it as well. I am curious to see what others think about it.

Getting My Beer On Revolution Eugene Beer Review

Eugene is a Porter from Revolution Brewing Company located in Chicago, Illinois. Carrying the namesake of iconic Eugene V. Debs, this one seemed to be created with robust in mind. 6.8% ABV and 28 IBU are the stats on this beer that for me brought in some nice roasted coffee tones from the malts as well as a nice overall smoothness. There was some bittering to the beer as well, which was much like that of an all-black coffee and not the bittering that we usually equate to hops. This all year offering also provided a nice sweetness that balanced well against the beer, making it a decent one to give a try. Check out the video to see and hear more, and if you had this one then let me know what you thought by placing a comment in the comments area.

Getting My Beer On Rivertown Pineapple Whip Beer Review

Brewed with milk sugar for creaminess, Pineapple Whip from Rivertown Brewery & Barrel House is a Nitro Berliner Style Sour Ale that carries a 5% ABV along and is a limited edition from the brewery making it a one-time brew from the brewery. For me, this one did have the sweetness expected although the artificialness of the added flavor was easy to distinguish. It was light and creamy due to the nitro effect, as well as fruity but just too soft for me. There was the sour feel to be expected, and on a warm day, it can have its place especially with the smoothness that it did provide. Check out the video to see and hear more of my thoughts on this one, and if you have had it then let me know what you thought by placing some comments below.

Getting My Beer On Short's Space Rock Beer Review

Space Rock from Short’s Brewing Company located in Michigan is an American Pale Ale that comes in at 5% ABV and 55 IBU, unlike the 72 mentioned on Untappd which goes to my point of their inaccuracies at times. Nonetheless, this is one that I had wanted to try for a good amount of time, and just recently, it was made available to me through our distribution. For me best described, I found this to be a somewhat decent pale ale that carried the expected characteristics that one expects of the style. It was hoppy, dry, slightly bitter and somewhat flavorful with tones of orange and grapefruit. It did play thinner than expected so that did catch me by surprise, but it is a lighter bodied pale ale. For me, it was worth a try, but it just did not do a lot to stand out. Check out the video to see and hear more of my thoughts on this one, and if you have had it then let me know what you thought by dropping a comment below.

Getting My Beer On Avery Liliko'i Kepolo Beer Review

Liliko’i Kepolo from Avery Brewing, a 5.4% ABV Witbier that brings together some of the expected spicy notes of this style and places on it a nice fruity twist highlighted in the aroma and the taste. For me, I have enjoyed this previously on draft and decided to check it out in the can, which still provided a nice delight of this beer. There are qualities of tart, fruitiness, tropical, sweet, sour and even astringency and some acidity involved with this one. I guess I can say there are many things happening with this one, but all good from my opinion. Now an all year offering, this beer is a nice one to try for sure if the aforementioned qualities appeal to you, and you like a nice fruity and somewhat spice note beer. Check out the video to see and hear more of my thoughts on this one.

Getting My Beer On Dogfish Head Dragons & YumYums

Dragons & YumYums from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is an American Pale Ale that done with the collaboration of the music group, The Flaming Lips, is a tart American Pale Ale brewed with dragon fruit, yumberry, passionfruit, pear juice and black carrot juice. Now, I know what you are thinking…Is this something that was dreamt up out of Game of Thrones or Lord of The Rings. Honestly, I could not tell you, but I can tell you that this 6.5%ABV and 25 IBU Ale is something different.

There should have been a lot going on with this beer from the ingredients used, but for me, in the end, I almost feel like maybe there was too much. While the beer did offer a nice tart and refreshing quality, the pear did not seem to be there as much. In addition, the duration of the flavor was shorter lived than expected, which I expected would be longer considering said ingredients. It does still have some fruitiness going for it though, and considering the ABV it is a nice light-bodied beer making it not so bad for summer. There is also some of the piney tone often affiliated with pale ales, and the finish is nice and crisp. However, in the end, is it a decent enough beer but is it worth the cost and pick-up, well I will leave that up to you. Check out the video to see and hear more of my thoughts on this one.
