Summary

83	Josephsbrau Brewing Co Stockyard Oatmeal Stout Oatmeal Stout \| 5.2% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: PHATMEAT

Club/Brewer Notes:
A delicious creamy stout in the Irish tradition with its rich, tan head intact, this deep and dark-colored beer has the aroma and flavor of chocolate, roasted oats and coffee-all derived from the specialty malts used in the brewing process.

84	V!VA Brewery Ale Niño Hazy IPA \| 5.8% ABV \| 52 IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
Just like the weather phenomenon, our Ale Niño beer is a cool burst of clean, refreshing, tropical flavors with just enough bitterness to give that classic Pale Ale feel. El Niño, which comes around every few years brings tropical weather from the pacific regions. After visiting multiple breweries in California, we fell in love the West Coast styles of craft beer. Clean, refreshing, tropical flavors with enough bitterness to give that classic Pale Ale feel, Ale Niño delivers.

88	Collective Arts Brewing Ransack the Universe American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 6.8% ABV \| 85 IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
Galaxy hops from Myrtleford, Victoria, Australia and Mosaic hops from Yakima, WA deliver aromas and flavours of tropical fruits, mango and citrus. Light malt body lets the hops shine through, and finishes crisp but not bitter. A hemispheric hop mashup.

90	Knotted Root Brewing Perpetually Unimpressed Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 8.2% ABV \| 82 IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Perpetually Unimpressed is focused on highlighting our favorite hop, Nelson Sauvin, with a tropical fruit character derived from an English yeast. It’s dedicated to our brewery dog and best friend Asa, aka Pizza Boy ?. This grumpy, lovable pup internalizes the spirit of striving for more in life, as does this beer. Think dank, grape must, and Palisade peaches.

90	Adroit Theory Brewing Company Nullentropy (Ghost Nullentropy) Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 8.4% ABV \| 40 IBU Offered By: ASIAFEVER

Club/Brewer Notes:
This high-oat grist produces a semi-sweet, creamy body that coats your palate in a medley of juicy, hop forward flavor. Bright forward notes of Coconut, Peaches, and Mangoes pare down into softer finishing notes of Grapefruit and Pine with very mild bitterness for balance.⁠

90	Parish Brewing Company Ghost in the Laboratory Imperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 8.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: MATT CASTO

91	Parish Brewing Company Ghost in the Machine Imperial Hazy IPA \| 8.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
Welcome to the future. Our collective human consciousness, or Ghost in the Machine, has gained a tolerance for hops beyond what man has ever known before. This double india pale ale is the necessary outcome.

96	Perennial Artisan Ales Sump Sweet Stout \| 11.5% ABV \| 60 IBU Offered By: ASIAFEVER

Club/Brewer Notes:
The coffee was grown in the Monte Alban region of Oaxaca, Mexico – and roasted in Saint Louis by Sump Coffee. The base stout is smooth and chocolatey, complemented by notes of pecan, toffee, pear, and vanilla. Sweet and bitter are balanced against each other, swirling around the full-bodied stout base to create a powerfully rich, yet amazingly crisp drinking experience.

96	Transient Artisan Ales Kentuckley American-Style Imperial Stout \| 14.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Weller bourbon barrel aged imperial stout with coffee, vanilla, and maple syrup

95	Prairie Artisan Ales Pecans In Paradise American-Style Imperial Stout \| 14.7% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: MATT CASTO
