Summary

New Glarus Brewing Company

Kid Kölsch

Kölsch | 5.5% ABV | Unknown IBU
Offered By: FATBOY
Club/Brewer Notes:
You hold an enlightened throwback ale brewed in the Kölsch tradition of yesteryear. Beautiful floral Spalt Hops were chosen in the field by Brewmaster Dan Carey. Crisp bitterness dries quickly into a clean finish. Double decoction mashing of specifically blended German and Czech barley and wheat malts naturally create a golden bready center. Old world open top fermentation imparts lilting fruit notes to softly round out this 100% naturally carbonated live ale with a friendly bounce. Prost!

Member Notes: 
"Nice clean tasting beer, would be great on hot Texas day." - fatboy

Tripping Animals

Schwein Haben

Bavarian-Style Märzen | 5.5% ABV | Unknown IBU
Offered By: ASIAFEVER
Club/Brewer Notes:
A beer rich in malt with a balance of clean, hop bitterness, similar to the Vienna lager. Toasted bread or biscuit-like malt aroma and flavor is to be expected. Originating in Germany, this style was traditionally brewed in the spring (“Marzen” meaning “March”) and aged, or lagered, throughout the summer.

Member Notes: 
"Malty, slight grassy back in." - fatboy
87

Knee Deep Brewing Company

Slooow Mo

American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) | 6.5% ABV | 41 IBU
Offered By: WESTEXANS
Club/Brewer Notes:
This light bodied, single hopped Mosaic IPA is bursting with aromas of ripe summer berries, citrus and passionfruit. Flavorful enough to sip, and smooth enough to crush

Member Notes: 
"Good IPA" - fatboy
87

South Lake Brewing Company

Alpine Aloha IPA

American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) | 6.6% ABV | 70 IBU
Offered By: WESTEXANS
Club/Brewer Notes:
Alpine Aloha is our West Coast IPA with a tropical twist that blends classic pine and dank herb flavors with new age fruity citrus notes. A base of pilsner malt in the mash creates a dry and crisp body for the bright hop characters to shine. Hopped with Cascade, Chinook, Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops. Flavor notes of sticky tropical fruits, juicy citrus, and evergreen needles will remind you of blissful days on the beaches of Lake Tahoe.

Member Notes: 
"Funky floral taste with a dry and pine finish " - fatboy
87

Tradition Brewing Company

The Entertainer

New England/Hazy IPA | 6.9% ABV | 42 IBU
Offered By: WESTEXANS
Club/Brewer Notes:
The Entertainer Blurb “Come one, come all. Step right up. Barley the clown is about to begin his show. A show unlike any other you’ve seen in your lifetime. A show that will change you forever.”, claims the circus barker. A shiver runs down your spine as you notice the carpet is wet and is an odd shade of red. Suddenly, there is a loud bang, the curtain drops, and blinding lights show the silhouette of what must be a clown, but what’s in his hand. The last thing you hear before you wake is the blood curdling buzz of a chainsaw. Sweet Dreams.

Member Notes: 
"Good drinking IPA " - fatboy

Funky Buddha

Hop Gun

East Coast IPA | 7% ABV | Unknown IBU
Offered By: AMY
Member Notes: 
"Little sweet to start but has a nice bitter taste" - fatboy
88

Deep Ellum

Lateral Haze

Hazy IPA | 7.5% ABV | 25 IBU
Offered By: PHATMEAT
Club/Brewer Notes:
Go sideways with dank and hoppy Lateral Haze IPA, a fruit-forward play by Simcoe, Amarillo, and Idaho 7 hops with pass protection by English malts. Fresh pineapple aroma and flavor drive this orange-hued hazy IPA toward the end zone. The only part of game day guaranteed not to disappoint. SEE: Light orange & opaque SMELL: Fresh pineapple & ever so dank SIP: Pineapple, slightly malty

89

La Cumbre Brewing Company

Malvasia Stout

Stout | 7.5% ABV | 60 IBU
Offered By: RONRICO
Club/Brewer Notes:
A meal in a glass. Brewed with 7 different malts, you should be ready for a full onslaught of creamy stout intensity. Broadly in the style of a Foreign Extra Stout, this is our heaviest and most intense year-round offering.

Member Notes: 
"Nice malty flavor and with a good coffee finish" - fatboy
88

Flying Dog Ales

Bloodline Blood Orange IPA

American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) | 8% ABV | 40 IBU
Offered By: FATBOY
Club/Brewer Notes:
Bloodline defies genre: Hops for the hop-heads. Fruit for the rest. Sweet blood orange puree is added toward the end of fermentation to balance the citrusy sharpness of the hops and deliver a hard-charging ABV to keep the good times rolling.

89

Oskar Blues Brewery

Old Chub

Scotch Ale | 8% ABV | Unknown IBU
Offered By: AMY

Russian River Brewing

Shadow of a doubt

American-Style Imperial Porter | 9.6% ABV | Unknown IBU
Offered By: RONRICO
Club/Brewer Notes:
Named after the great Hitchcock movie filmed in Santa Rosa in 1943. This imperial porter packs a rich chocolate/cocoa, toffee, dark coffee, and lightly smoked malt character with a very soft, dry finish. There is subtle hop bitterness and hints of tobacco.

Member Notes: 
"Nice drinking porter with hints of pipi tobacco " - fatboy

Põhjala

Öö

Imperial Baltic Porter | 10.5% ABV | 60 IBU
Offered By: SANTA
Club/Brewer Notes:
An Imperial Baltic Porter as dark as the Estonian winter nights. Strong enough to keep you warm through the cold evenings. Taste: A rich body comes through at first. Initially the espresso-like acidity is balanced by a sweet taste of caramelised toffee. As your glass warms up you should expect to taste redcurrant, mixed with a dark chocolate, washed down with a slight alcoholic warmth.

Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) | 18% ABV | 100 IBU

At a whopping 18% ABV, Double Dog 18 is Flying Dog’s highest-octane brew. Citrus and resinous hop notes dominate the aroma and flavor profile which ends with a touch of alcohol sweetness and a dry finish.
