77	Yee Haw Brewing Co. KÖLSCH German-Style Kolsch \| 4.7% ABV \| 23 IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
A mainstay of traditional, albeit lighter, German styles, this crisp and refreshing lager folds a hint of hops into a clear beer with a slight, if creamy head, for an ideal summer session experience.

Member Notes:
"Nice clean taste with a hint of lemon." - fatboy

84	Jester King Craft Brewery Vulgar Affectoon Farm House \| 5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: JAM MASTER JAY

76	Yee Haw Brewing Co. Dunkel Dunkel \| 5.5% ABV \| 30 IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
A 2016 World Beer Cup award-winner for European-Style Dark/Muenchner Dunkel, ours nods deferentially to the classic dark, German lager of its forebears, with ~30 IBU and 5.5% ABV.

Member Notes:
"Clean, has slight chocolate under tones" - fatboy

86	Yee Haw Brewing Co. IPA Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 6% ABV \| 75 IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
An uncommonly balanced, 6.7%, ~75-IBU IPA with a pronounced yet restrained bitterness at its core, this medium-bodied, straw-colored variety delivers prevalent fragrances of citrus and pine.

Member Notes:
"Has a piney after taste, good tasteing ipa" - fatboy

88	Coldfire Cumulus Tropicalus New England India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 6.5% ABV \| 60 IBU Offered By: MADMIKE

Club/Brewer Notes:
Cloudy, full bodied and rich in hop goodness. Flavors of peach, passion fruit and pink grapefruit dance on the tongue. Aromas of sweet Tropical fruits spin the senses. Cloudy and bright all in the same experience.

86	Texas Beer Company Hoppy Duck IPA IPA \| 6.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

88	Zipline Brewing Co Mosaic IPA Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 7% ABV \| 65 IBU Offered By: MADMIKE

Club/Brewer Notes:
An overindulgence of Mosaic Hops compliments a simplified malt bill, generating a rush of blueberry, tangerine, papaya and pine notes.

91	Belching Beaver Brewery Mexican Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout Stout - Flavored \| 7.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Formally named Viva La Beaver, and prior, Living La Beaver Loca (I was voted down on that one), we changed the name to highlight the key flavors of this award-winning beer. With notes of creamy peanut butter, cinnamon and chocolate, this decadent milk stout is the perfect dessert beer to finish off your meal. Currently our highest rated beer, receiving numerous Gold and Silver medals. Sink your teeth into this liquid chocolate treat.

Member Notes:
"Has that abuelita hot coco with roasted peanuts" - fatboy

88	New Belgium Brewing Company Voodoo Ranger Jucifer IPA American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 7.7% ABV \| 50 IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
Brimming with citrus aromas from Galaxy and Citra hops, this moderately sweet and hazy IPA is devilishly juicy.

92	Highland Park Past Future Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 8.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: KAY JAY

90	Revision Brewing Company What What Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 9.1% ABV \| 85 IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Can I get a What What? What? Yep, you heard right. A collection of C hops and a dash of Equinox create waves of hop flavor and perhaps a bit of a smackdown over a lightly sweet malt backbone. Sniff. Sip. Sniff. Sip. Sniff. Sip. Dang, all gone. What I say?

91	Drakes Brewing Company Hopocalypse Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 9.3% ABV \| 101 IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Drake’s winter offering is a deep orange monster that is loosely filtered to keep the integrity of the malt & hops intact. Equal amounts of American two row and English pale are combined with two types of Munich malt, and balanced with Chinook, Cascade & Amarillo hops. Enjoy the massive aroma and flavor of this beer.

91	Abita Brewing Company Bourbon Street Barrel Aged Imperial Stout American-Style Imperial Stout \| 10% ABV \| 20 IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
Bourbon Street Stout is an Imperial Stout that is aged in Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon barrels. Our Imperial Stout is brewed with a combination of pale, caramel, chocolate and roasted malts. Oats are also added to give the beer a fuller and sweeter taste. The roasted malts give the beer its dark color as well as its intense flavor and aroma. After fermentation the beer is cold aged for 6 weeks. This is necessary for all of the flavors of the malt and hops to balance and produce a very smooth flavor. After the cold aging the beer is transferred into the bourbon barrels. It is then aged for another 8 weeks to absorb all of the flavors from the barrels. The result is a strong stout that brings out the roasted flavors from the malt and the warming toasted, vanilla, and bourbon flavors from the barrels.
