86	Boxing Bear Brewing Company Standing 8 Stout \| 6% ABV \| 45 IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Dark and delicious, this malt forward beer is perfect for those who enjoy the darker side. A full-bodied stout with a fabulously roasted character.

86	O'dell Brewery Mountain Standard American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 6.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
At 6.5%, this Mountain Style IPA is brewed with modern, American hop varieties which bring tropical hop aromas of pineapple, orange, and mango. To accentuate juicy hop aromas without using adjuncts or fruit, Mountain Standard IPA is triple dry-hopped. The result is an extremely drinkable IPA bursting with bright hop flavors, low bitterness, and a slight haze.

83	Real Ale Brewing Company El Camino Imperial Mexican Style Lager \| 7% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
A versatile blend of horsepower and haul-ability. The El Camino was produced by Chevrolet using an existing car platform, but modified to make it more useful. In the same vein, we have modified the versatile Mexican-style lager to be bolder, have a touch more horsepower, and be more enjoyable to drink. With a blend of American 2-row barley, corn, and Vienna malt, our version is perfect for a tailgate or running the quarter mile at your local dragstrip. Let El Camino show you the way.

89	Revision Brewing Company Mystic Topaz NE Hazy IPA \| 7% ABV \| 35 IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
When you feel so full of life that your soul is ready to jump out of your body with happiness, that mean you must be doing something right. Love wins, and with us it’s our love for hops that unites. This brew leads with Citra and Mandarina Bavaria along with a lil’ dose of Galaxy hops for good measure, making it heavy on the sweet-orange side of the flavor spectrum.

90	Lead Dog Brewing Acropolis Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 7.5% ABV \| 40 IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Zeus was never one to back down from a fight. In this series, Zeus has taken matters into his own hands and claimed his top spot back on top of the Acropolis. However, his enemies will not stop...will Conan's wrath be too much for Zeus to handle? The story is to be continued...Enjoy.

89	Roadmap Brewing Company Mini Van Dad Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 7.9% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
This Double IPA is packed full of Simcoe and Mosaic hops giving tropical mango and citrus aroma and hazy appearance. Just like Mini-Van Dad’s this unsuspecting beer can do it all

88	Coronado Brewing Co Never Better Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 8.1% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WES

89	Coronado Brewing Co Idiot IPA Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 8.5% ABV \| 72 IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
It doesn’t take a genius to kno w quality West Coast IPAs require a stupid amount of hops. A generous blend of Nugget hops and the four Cs—Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Columbus—brings forth a myriad of tropical fruit flavors and a brawny, persistent bitterness that makes for a highly intelligent brew.

92	Clown Shoes The Ballad of Minnie Quay Old Ale \| 10.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: DAVO

Club/Brewer Notes:
It is a sweet song, the Ballad of Minnie Quay. I’d sing it, but I’m just not sure my voice could do it justice. There she stood, along the shore, battered back by the surge of the storm, but undeterred. I stood there as long as I could, but eventually I found myself soaked to the bone. She could still be out there for all I know, waiting and waiting for some sunny day that never will come. Oh, the tragedy! This Old Ale carries a sweet flavor throughout, enriched by aging in Brady Barrels. Biscuit and toffee notes are joined by the sweet richness of brandy to give this full-bodied ale a wide profile of malt flavors.

83	Blue Star Brewing Company King William Ale British-Style Barley Wine Ale \| 11.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
A barley wine style ale originating in Britain, it is characterized by its rich hearty malt profile and decidedly hoppy finish and high alcohol content.
