Beer Ratings: What You Need To Know And Understand

I had a friend ask me about how beer ratings are broken down and what they truly mean, outside of higher ones just being seen as the best. So, here is a video that tries to address that question.

Beer Review: Stillwater Artisanal Superhop

This is a look at Superhop from Stillwater Artisanal Ales,
which is an American IPA that brings the tropics all the way home. It has an ABV
of 6% and an IBU of 60, and one should expect to prepare themselves for a juicy
amount of goodness. This hazy beer is almost a secret in itself as not much can
be found online, except for those that have tasted its nectar.

Snacks For Beer With Craft Beers Gone Wild

We talk about snacks that go well with beer. Like beers, not all are made the same and neither are the snacks that best go with them. Let us show you some favorites of ours.

Beer Review: Stone Go To IPA

The Stone Go To IPA from Stone Brewing is a session IPA that comes in at an ABV of 4.5 %. Highlighted by the things that we enjoy about India Pale Ales, it looks to provide all of that in a nice thirst quenching modest ABV level.

Commercial Description:

Since Day One, we’ve been abundantly forthright about our lust for hops. It’s led us to craft many an IPA, most of them imperial—some intense for their time and all timeless in their intensity. For Stone Go To IPA, we’ve embraced our hop obsession in a new way, funneling an abundance of lupulin-borne bitterness into a “session” IPA that delivers all the fruity, piney character of a much bigger IPA at a more modest ABV level.

To accomplish this, we employed “hop bursting.” The result is an alpha-acid-rich beer that fans can enjoy more of Without settling for less of the assertive hop character you, like us, crave.

Malt: Pale, Light Crystal and Vienna

Hops: Magnum, El Dorado, Crystal Cascade, Experimental Hop Steiner 06300, Mosaic (dry hopped), Crystal, Ahtanum, Sterling, Citra (dry hopped) and Cascade Hops (dry hopped)

Beer Review: Sierra Nevada Pat-Rye-OT Revolutionary Pale Ale

Back to take a look at the Sierra Nevada Pat-Rye-OT from their Beer Camp Across America Series. This American Pale Ale comes in at 5.6% and 39 IBU and features rye and apples as it pays homage to beers brewed by the original colonies. This is because rye and apples were the first ingredients used by American brewers in the colonies alongside the American hops.
