Summary

87	Noble Ale Works Naughty Sauce Milk Stout \| 5.4% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Naughty Sauce is a Golden Milk Stout beer style where the stout-like characteristics primarily come from a specially roasted South American coffee that gives more complexity than you would expect. The malt character meshes with the coffee to lend notes of fresh chocolate chip cookie dough to milk chocolate to luscious cacao to notes of dark espresso. It's a hearty, stout ride that is full of body yet finishes surprisingly clean begging for another sip..

88	Hopworks Urban Brewery Ferocius IPA \| 6.2% ABV \| 40 IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Our hazy blood orange IPA balances citrusy hops, wheat from Twin Oaks Farm on San Juan Island, and blood orange to create a crushable fruited hazy.

85	Alaskan Brewing Company Raspberry Wheat Fruit Wheat Ale or Lager \| 6.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: ASIAFEVER

Club/Brewer Notes:
Alaskan Raspberry Wheat is an American-style wheat ale highlighting the bright flavors and inviting aroma of more than 3,000 pounds of real raspberries added during fermentation. The tart flavor of raspberries balances the full-bodied wheat profile and malt sweetness of this enticingly red-hued brew.

86	Alamo Beer Company Alamosaic IPA American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 7% ABV \| 70 IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
This brew stands tall with a hoppy character and an attitude to match. Created to honor the fighting spirit of the Alamo and the rich cultural mosaic for which Texas stands. MALTS: Pilsner, Pale Wheat HOPS: Mosaic, Amarillo

86	East Sixth Brewing Company Biscuits & Gravy American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 7% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Brewed with 100% Azacca hops and milk sugar, this beer is soft and tropical with notes of mangoes pillowed atop fruity citrus. And while we didn’t throw Biscuits & Gravy in the mash – we offer this 7% collab with our friend @Artkansaw (who designed the can art) for your late summer enjoyment.

88	Oskar Blues Brewery Can-O-Bliss Citrus IPA American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 7.2% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
Packed w/ orange, tangerine, & zesty tropical fruit flavors from a blend of Motueka, Amarillo, Mandarina Bavaria, Citra, & Experimental #06277 hops.

89	Bearded Iris Brewing Fresh on Fresh Wet Hop IPA \| 7.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
It doesn’t get fresher than a wet hop IPA. Our first one overflows with the vibrant sunlit intensity of heaping, fresh-from-the-bine citra, paired with simcoe and mosaic for a little extra bounce. We were excited to work with the folks at Yakima Chief Hops to pay homage to the tireless work of hop cultivation and farming, and to embody the flexibility and effervescent urgency required for a wet hop brew. While we’re always in pursuit of the freshest hop flavor and seek to infuse it into each offering, we think you’ll enjoy discovering the differences that whole cone wet citra adds to this one in particular.

91	Hop Guru Green Cadillac Hazy Simcoe Hazy IPA \| 8% ABV \| 50 IBU Offered By: PHATMEAT

Club/Brewer Notes:
Hazy Green Cadillac with Simcoe added on the second dry hop

91	Edge Brewing Company Obligatory Double IPA \| 9.2% ABV \| 88 IBU Offered By: ASIAFEVER

Club/Brewer Notes:
Tropical fruit aromas of mango and passion fruit. Huge piney and citrusy hops in the body with a smooth finish. A hop bomb with complex malt flavors.

76	COOP Ale Works DNR Belgian Strong Ale \| 10% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
This Belgian-style dark ale is the culmination of central and western European malts, Noble hops, candy sugar and a traditional Trappist yeast. Notes of dried fruit, cinnamon and vanilla make DNR a very complex experience to be enjoyed in moderation.

91	Ranger Creek Brewing & Distilling Small batch series no.8 British-Style Barley Wine Ale \| 10% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: CHEETO

90	Ranger Creek Brewing & Distilling Small batch series no.8 British-Style Barley Wine Ale \| 10% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: CHEETO

90	Buffalo Bayou Brewing CO Comrade Cowbell American-Style Barley Wine Ale \| 11% ABV \| 85 IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
Comrade Cowbell A beer for the people. Description Blurring the lines between Imperial Red and Barley Wine, this brew is aggressively hop-forward and dangerously sessionable. Tasting Notes Resinous pine and bright cherry play battle with the soft toffee sweetness. The complex malt body is dry hopped to balance bitter and juicy into a satisfying clean/smooth finish.

92	Odd Side Ales Derby Days Imperial Rye Ale \| 13.8% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: DAVO

Club/Brewer Notes:
In honor of "The Run Of The Roses" and its signature beverage we brewed this amber colored ale then aged it in whiskey barrels. Notes of spicey rye,, caramel and fresh mint
