We also got into some other various topics as well and had a good time overall. Check out the video to see all that we discussed earlier this week.

Elysian Brewing Superfuzz Beer Review

Superfuzz is a Blood Orange Pale Ale from Elysian Brewing that is a summer seasonal with an ABV of 6.4% that brings together the flavors of blood orange and northwest hops. I ended up grabbing this one for a make my own six-pack, and have to say that I wasn’t disappointed. A good orange fruity presence was there with the beer, along with a nice feel of the hops. The beer went down smooth without much scratchiness on the finish. A good dry texture of the beer was there as expected, as well as good flavor and aroma overall. Check out the video to see and hear more of my thought s on this one, and if you have had it before then let me know what you thought by leaving a comment.

MadTree Brewing & Lyft Ridesharing Partner To Provide Responsible Ride Home

Partnership provides a discounted ride home when beer drinkers visit the Taproom

CINCINNATI (October 5, 2018) – MadTree Brewing Company, one of Cincinnati’s most popular breweries and maker of the beer named Lift, has partnered with Lyft, the fastest growing rideshare company in the U.S., to make sure craft beer drinkers have a responsible way to get home after a night of drinking. From Thursday through Sunday during the month of October, customers at the MadTree Taproom who take a Lyft ride to there will receive a coupon code for 50% off their ride home (up to $5) when they show their Lyft receipt to a bartender.

“Visiting the Taproom for a fresh pint of Lift, or two, is always a great night out and we want to provide a responsible, easy, on-demand way to get home,” said Chris Stokley, MadTree Brewing Taproom GM. “Plus, we get some extra cars off the road and provide an opportunity for local drivers in the community to earn.”

“We are excited to partner with one of Cincinnati’s favorite breweries and help passengers get a reliable and affordable ride to and from MadTree Brewing Company,” said Demetrius Thomas, Lyft Cincinnati Market Manager. “With the partnership, people can enjoy a Lift and know that Lyft can provide a responsible ride home afterward.”

Lift, a light, crisp, and refreshing German Kölsch-style beer has long been one MadTree’s best-selling beers and is the beer for all occasions -- from hanging out with friends by the campfire to lounging by the pool. Beer drinkers have long considered the name Lift synonymous with using the ridesharing service Lyft.

Sweetwater Brewing Goin' Coastal Beer Review

Goin’ Coastal from Sweetwater Brewing Company is highlighted as an IPA with pineapple that features five hops, an IBU of 45 and an ABV of 6.1%. My experience with this one is that it is an okay beer but didn’t move the needle much for me. The pineapple was a little underwhelming for what I expected, but it was refreshing enough for a warmer day. Sweet and light, with a subtle bit of hoppiness and a dry texture, this one was adequate enough to enjoy. Check out the video to see and hear more on this one, and if you have had it then leave a comment to let me know what you thought of this ale.
