87	Six Ten Brewing Babble to the Nag American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 6.8% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: PRIMETIME

A West coast style IPA with earthy hops and finished with fresh Rosemary and Madagascar vanilla beans. 2016 Best Florida Beer Gold Medal Winner.

88	Adelbert's Brewery Travelin' Man Belgian-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 7% ABV \| 55 IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
This deep golden ale possess an aromatic nose with floral and fruity notes. Its flavors are a blend of warm, soft biscuity malts followed by a complex, clean finish. With this ale, we aimed to create an easy drinking, one-of-a-kind IPA that leaves you wanting more. THE STORY: Travelin’ Man is homage to Del’s lifetime of traveling. From Colombia to Kenya and everywhere in between, Del experienced the world in ways few others ever will, and we are forever grateful for his stories. We hope to inspire you to go out and make your own adventures.

90	Stone Brewing Company Hop Revolver Ipa \| 7.7% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: DAVO

Club/Brewer Notes:
The aim of this experimental, hop-centric series is to demonstrate just how dramatically a single hop can impact a beer. We’re going to periodically fire off a variety of single-hopped variations of this IPA for some good brewing fun! Empty the bright tank with one. Reload it with another batch. Rinse. Reload. Repeat. We invite you to enjoy along with us.

87	Alaskan Brewing Company Perseverance Russian Imperial Stout \| 9% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: PAGMAN

87	Great Divide Brewing Company Oatmeal Yeti American-Style Imperial Stout \| 9.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: LARA "CRAFT"

Club/Brewer Notes:
Much like its legendary predecessors, this Yeti is big, bold and dark. The addition of rolled oats softens Yeti’s notoriously roasty backbone and the small amount of raisins added in the brew kettle create a unique dark fruit character. Just as admired as those that came before it, Oatmeal Yeti Imperial Stout is a gentle beast.

89	Maredsous Abbaye-Abdij Triple \| 10% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: EZ

89	Blue Mountain Barrel House Dark Hollow American-Style Imperial Stout \| 10% ABV \| 70 IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Dark Hollow blends the miracle of two crafts--brewing and distillation--to create a work greater than the sum of its parts. An Imperial Stout has been aged in charred American oak bourbon barrels still dripping with uncut whiskey. For 100 days the young beer patiently breathes in and out of the wood, gaining complexity, character, and serious attitude. This ale is always bottle conditioned and can be enjoyed immediately upon its release from the brewery...or five years later, when you dust off the last vintage bottle from your cellar to share with good company.

89	Hop Guru Big Brown Eyes Brown Barleywine \| 13% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: BRANDY

Club/Brewer Notes:
Well... You guys know...it's named after yours truly

89	Lakewood Brewing Co Thread Spinner American-Style Barley Wine Ale \| 13.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
Threadspinner, the eighth release in our limited Legendary Series, is the first in a mini-series of three unique, wood-aged beers, inspired by the deities known as the 3 Fates. The Moirai sisters determined the lives and destinies of all, controlling the fates of both gods and mortals alike. The first sister, Clotho, spun the thread of life with her divine spindle, deciding one’s birth and death. Hence this robust, lively American Barleywine to kick off the series, aged in freshly-emptied bourbon barrels from our friends at Witherspoon Distillery. Enjoy now or cellar properly to enjoy in a vertical with her upcoming two sisters to be released later in 2017.
