Beers I like (lately)

Absolutely Tasty!
Backwoods Bastard

alt

Backwoods Bastard 10.2% ABV 50 IBU’S

Big and delicious for your ‘perty mouth. Expect lovely, warm smells of single malt scotch, oaky bourbon barrels, smoke, sweet caramel and roasted malts, a bit of earthy spice and a scintilla of dark cherries. It’s a kick-back sipper made to excite the pallet.




















Secondly, I have recently discovered Affligem Dubbel. Very delicious beer..good mouthfeel 7% ABV

Recently, I had a new beer from Minneapolis' newest brewery, Fulton. Sweet Child O' Vine.
I consider it a session beer. Very drinkable with a little hop aftertaste. Normally, I prefer beers that are 60 IBU or lower but this is very tasty!

Sweet Child of Vine

Sweet Child of Vine

Move over grapes. We’re celebrating
the world’s most glorious vine.

At Fulton, we love hops. That star in our logo is made out of hops, in case you hadn’t noticed. Of course, the hops plant contributes to the character of all of our beers, but sometimes we just want more. That’s why we decided to brew the Sweet Child of Vine. Generous quantities of Simcoe and Glacier hops are added throughout the boil. Then, late in the fermentation process, we infuse the Sweet Child with another dose of Glaciers, imparting a bouquet of hop aroma that veritably bursts forth upon serving. But don’t let all this talk of hops mislead you. The Sweet Child has a serious malt backbone to stand up to all those hops, creating a delightful balance that will keep you coming back for more. It’s an IPA, Fulton-style.
