Summary

81	Celis Celis Raspberry Belgian-Style Fruit Beer \| 4.9% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: PRIMETIME

82	Core Brewing and Distilling Arkansas Red Red \| 5.2% ABV \| 16 IBU Offered By: PRIMETIME

Club/Brewer Notes:
Available year-round. Remarkably balanced. Pale and Caramel malts give the beer its rich, deep red color and distinctive caramel flavor. The sweetness of the malt is pleasantly balanced by a pronounced hop bitterness. Our Irish Red finishes smooth and leaves you wanting to take another sip.

88	Left Hand Brewing Sweet Stout Milk Stout \| 6% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
Dark & delicious, America’s great milk stout will change your perception about what a stout can be. Pouring hard out of the bottle, Milk Stout Nitro cascades beautifully, building a tight, thick head like hard whipped cream. The aroma is of brown sugar and vanilla cream, with hints of roasted coffee. The pillowy head coats your upper lip and its creaminess entices your pallet. Initial roasty, mocha flavors rise up, with slight hop & roast bitterness in the finish. The rest is pure bliss of milk chocolate fullness.

85	Lost Forty Brewing The Hunter Octoberfest \| 6.1% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: PRIMETIME

87	Breakside Brewery Salted Caramel Stout Sweet Stout \| 6.7% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
A dessert stout brewed with lactose caramel and fleur de sel, inspired by our friends Tyler & Kim Malek at Salt & Straw. Tyler has been working on perfecting a lactose caramel syrup that mimics the flavor in his sea salt and caramel ice cream. After a few test blends, we’re worried that this might be the most addictive dessert beer ever made.

89	Warped Wing Brewing Company Space Food American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 7% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

88	Stone Brewing Company Scorpion Bowl IPA American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 7.5% ABV \| 76 IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
To create a recipe so tropical and fruity without the addition of fruit was no feat our team of brewers would leave up to the gods. They took floral and citrus notes from Mosaic, Loral and Mandarina Bavaria hops to dish up a mouthwatering fruit punch to the palate. Get deserted on your own island or share with others. One thing is for sure: there is no need to light this one. It is already on fire.

88	Sierra Nevada Brewing Company Experimental Hop Double American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 8% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXAN

88	Wicked Weed Brewing Artistry Series II Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 8.2% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Artistry Series II is a Double India Pale Ale. The second beer in our artistry series, this double IPA combines traditional West Coast hops with an innovative dry-hop of Cryo Mosaic and Cryo Ekuanot, which contain cryogenically separated lupulin. Resinous and juicy, this DIPA propels tropical hop flavor into an entirely new work of art.

87	New Belgium Brewing Company Trippel Belgian style ale \| 8.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: DAVO

88	Celis Grand CRU Belgian-Style Tripel \| 8.6% ABV \| 20 IBU Offered By: RONRICO

88	Buffalo Bayou Brewing CO Bug Black Cowbell Imperial Stout \| 10.4% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: LARA

91	Avery Brewing Company Twenty Five Belgian Strong Dark Ale \| 14.5% ABV \| 38 IBU Offered By: DAVO
