87	3 Sheeps Brewing Waterslides Ipa \| 6.7% ABV \| 60 IBU Offered By: DAVO

Club/Brewer Notes:
Waterslides is an ode to a choice we made years ago to throw caution to the wind and pursue a passion. For us it was opening this brewery, but maybe for you it’s finishing that novel, or getting on that stage, or finally asking that coworker out on a real date. Whatever it is, Waterslides is for risk-takers like you. It’s complex and yet accessible, with more body than your typical IPA, and more hops than your typical Wisconsin beer. It’s balanced, drinkable and a reminder to always #ChooseTheWaterslide Columbus,, Casdade & Zythos hops

88	Cigar City Brewing Jai Alai American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 7.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
Jai Alai, a game native to the Basque region of Spain, is played on a court called a fronton. Jai Alai players attempt to catch a ball using a curved mitt whilst the ball travels at speeds up to 188mph! Proving they have a sense of humor the Spanish dubbed this game, with its ball traveling at racecar speeds, “the merry game.” Tampa was once home to a bustling Jai Alai fronton but sadly all that remains of Jai Alai in the Tampa Bay area is this India Pale Ale that we brew in tribute to the merry game. The India Pale Ale style of beer has its roots in the ales sent from England to thirsty British troops in India during the 18th century. Pair Jai Alai India Pale Ale with beef empanadas, deviled crabs and other spicy dishes.

84	Seguin Brewing Company Bock and rohl Munich style bock \| 8% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: CHEETO

Member Notes:
"Hint of coffee" - Davo

91	Bear Republic Brewery Racer X Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 8.3% ABV \| 100 IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
Racer X® is an uncommon Double India Pale Ale which puts a California twist on English brewing traditions by adding an assertive hop aroma and bitterness that compliments the firm malt backbone. Like its little brother Racer 5, Racer X® is balance in a bottle. 2009 California State Fair – SILVER 2009 San Diego International Beer Competition – 2nd 2009 West Coast Beer Fest - GOLD

90	New Glarus Brewing Company Scream IPA Imperial IPA \| 9% ABV \| 85 IBU Offered By: DAVO

Club/Brewer Notes:
A few times a year we cut Dan loose to brew whatever he chooses. Always handcrafted, the bottle you hold is brewed for the adventurous soul. This is a very limited edition and we make no promises to ever brew this style again. Scream pierces reality, effortlessly slicing our sky, He flies over the Brewery just as Abe circled over Wisconsin’s 8th Infantry during the Civil War. He calls us to something bigger. Scream boasts an inspired 85 IBUs that reverberate cleanly though this IIPA. New Glarus Brewery grown estate hops join other Wisconsin grown hops to dominate this brew from Kettle Boil to Dry Hopping. You hold a deceptively seductive Original Gravity of 20.9 degrees Plato following the always 100% naturally bottle conditioned fermentation. Luscious Wisconsin grown and malted barley along with English Maris Otter malt is the bold heart of this lustful sensory enchantment. Surrender is inevitable so enjoy today
