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!
