Getting My Beer On With Julius From Tree House Brewing

There is always some hype in the craft beer world around certain beers, and one of them held of such high regard in this area has been Julius from the Tree House Brewing Company located in Charlton, Massachusetts. This one has been on my hunt list for a while so thanks to a good friend, I was finally able to check out this beer to see how it lived up to the hype and to see how tasty this American IPA truly is.

The numbers on this brew are 6.8% ABV and 72 IBU, and the appearance of this ale is as orange as you would expect for its namesake. I found it to be oh so citrusy and smooth in the taste, and full of flavor that had a pleasant accompanying resinous aroma. Juicy for sure and in the initial with some dryness on the back, this one entices you to drink more. It does hit with some sweetness though, and not sure how many of these I would want in a sitting but it is a great one for putting in the mix. It is definitely well worth the pick-up if you are an IPA fan and especially if you enjoy the juicy ones and thanks again to my friend Joe for hooking this up for me.

My Setting Up Of The NewAir AB-850B Beverage Cooler

Here is a look of my setting up of the AB-850B Beverage Cooler from NewAir that I recently received and a look at how I decided to stock the cooler for moving forward. The ability to customize the shelves makes it nice in being able to adapt for the beers that one would like to stock, although having bottles does shrink the space since it is primarily designed for the cans. Check out what I mean by checking out the video.

Getting My Unboxing On With A NewAir AB-850B Beverage Cooler

Hey what’s up everybody, this is my unboxing of the NewAir AB-850B  beverage cooler, which they as a company have graciously bestowed on me to look at for a review. A big thank you to Cher who reached out through my social media site and a big thanks to you the viewers who watch and enjoy which even made this happen. I will at a later time do a video review of the product after it is set up and then provide my thoughts on it, but I thought it would be great to first share it though to give you a little inside track on what to expect.

Getting My Beer On With Bell's Third Coast Old Ale

This one comes from the cellar as I decided to pull out a Third Coast Old Ale from Bell’s Brewery, another fine Michigan Brewery. This American Style Barley Wine Ale carries an ABV of 10.2% and is noted by its shelf life being unlimited by Bell’s, lol. Available in September and October, this beer is meant to be held for a while, if you can and choose to do so. Speaking of which, here is my cellar experience with this one.

My version was that of the 2015 vintage and this was actually done in April, so I guess I aged the review as well. I will say that there was not a wow factor for me, but it was a very smooth ale. I was able to pick up some nice tones of the caramel and toffee from the malts as well as some of what I would call black licorice and dark fruit notes often associated with a Barleywine. Full bodied, this beer is definitely one you may enjoy more in the cooler part of the day. There also was not as heavy of an alcohol presence, and even when fresher it was still hidden well enough. Overall, it was just a nice pleasant beer top sit back and enjoy and one that I was glad to pick up. Check out the video to hear and see more of this one, and if you have had it before then let me know what you thought of it by dropping a comment below.

Getting My Beer On With Shmaltz Bittersweet Lenny's R.I.P.A.

Lenny Bruce a prolific comedian of days past and one definitely deserving of a beer such as Bittersweet Lenny’s R.I.P.A. from Shmaltz Brewing out of New York. Anytime something is dedicated in the name of an icon, there is a hope that it pulls it off and Shmaltz has pretty much done that with this beer. Coming in at 10% ABV, 86 IBU, this beer is defined as having an obscene amount of malts, and hops and what better than this beer to represent Lenny. For me, this beer packed in many good things from its appearance to the aroma to the taste and flavor, there was just a lot of good things happening.

Starting with that appearance, the color is just a nice brilliant caramel tone with a head capping it in a nice tannish color. The rye is easy to pick up in the aroma and taste and for a 10% beer; it is smooth in texture and flavor making it slightly dangerous to those that may rush through it. A good caramel or toffee type tone comes through in the flavor that is well balanced between the malts used, and speaking of malts. Shmaltz pulls off a nice balance of the malt backbone versus the number of hops also used; this does not play like a high IBU beer. It is full bodied for sure, and the mouthcoating left was impressive. Overall, this beer is just damn solid and worth a go in my opinion.
