Tree House Brewing Company

Concert Beer

American IPA | 6.8% ABV | Unknown IBU
Offered By: PHATMEAT
Club/Brewer Notes:
Concert season is among us and to celebrate we have put together a little number we have called Concert Beer! A somewhat rare single IPA release, this gem contains Peacharine and Citra in abundance resulting in a mix of stone fruit and citrus that is to thirst for. This is the beer we dreamed of enjoying while taking in a show at the Summer Stage in Deerfield, but it will be just beautiful in your cooler in Mansfield or Saratoga this summer

Seven Headed Dragon

American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) | 7% ABV | Unknown IBU
Offered By: ASIAFEVER
Club/Brewer Notes:
Savor the bold and hop-forward experience of our Centennial IPA, boasting a satisfying 7% ABV. With each sip, you'll embark on a mythical journey of citrusy and piney notes, perfectly balanced to conquer your taste buds.

89

Modist Brewing Company

Dream Yard

American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) | 7.1% ABV | Unknown IBU
Offered By: ASIAFEVER
Club/Brewer Notes:
A New England IPA that’s made from oats and wheat. Splendidly hazy with aromas of stonefruit, pineapple, and citrus. An insane amount of Citra and Sultana hops per barrel make this beer an incredibly juicy and citrusy treat with an approachable level of bitterness.

88

Rhinegeist Brewery

Truth

American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) | 7.2% ABV | 75 IBU
Offered By: WESTEXANS
Club/Brewer Notes:
Intensely hopped, dry IPA with Centennial, Citra, Amarillo and Simcoe Hops. We hop this at a rate of 3lbs/bbl to rev up peach, mango and passion fruit notes.

89

Melvin Brewing

Melvin IPA

American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) | 7.5% ABV | 80 IBU
Offered By: SANTA
Club/Brewer Notes:
Two brewers walk into a Thai restaurant in Wyoming, they drink, and write a recipe. The beer that came from that day started an empire. Well not really...but the beer was exactly what they wanted. So, they made a hell of a lot more of it. Look at you Melvin, all grown up. From website: You can't always get what you want.... but sometimes you get lucky. It's all about the right hops, at the right time. This is how Melvin grew up. Fruity, intense, but not bitter like the rest of them. As long as you don't take advantage, we think this is the hoppiest relationship you could ask for...hold my hand?

Tree House Brewing Company

Black Fern

Double IPA | 7.8% ABV | Unknown IBU
Offered By: PHATMEAT
Club/Brewer Notes:
New Zealand transforms into a mystical realm as evening descends, with its varied landscapes taking on a magical aura. Mountains tinged with the subtle shades of twilight, transitioning from vibrant pinks and purples to the serene blues and greys of night, blend into the lush plains and dense jungles below. In the cool, shadowy undergrowth of these mountains and hills, the moon emerges, casting a silver sheen over the world, enhancing the sense of mystery that thrives in the encroaching darkness. Black Fern, steeped in indigenous and modern New Zealand culture, is a sight unlike any other across the globe. The undersides of this primeval flora reflect mysterious moonlight, illuminating paths with haunting electricity and revealing trails

Ape Snake

Farmhose Ale-Saisson | 7.9% ABV | 30 IBU

We’ve taken our dark farmhouse base and dry hopped it with Falconer’s Flight and Centennial hops. The combination of yeast and hops create an explosion of flavors, and this beer will continue to develop as it ages.

American-Style Imperial Stout | 13.6% ABV | Unknown IBU
Offered By: ASIAFEVER
Club/Brewer Notes:
Alesmith BBA Speedway Imperial Stout Vietnamese Coffee Edition, 13.6% ABV. Pours black with a two-finger brown head that dissipated quickly leaving sparse lacing. Aroma is strong coffee and light bourbon. Taste is strong coffee, roast malt, oak, faint chocolate, tobacco, faintly sweet, moderately bitter, no apparent bourbon burn. Excellent mouthfeel, overall outstanding. If you love BBA coffee stouts, this is your beer.

94

Destihl Brewery

Dosvidanya Mexican Chocolate BBA

American-Style Imperial Stout | 15% ABV | 84 IBU
Offered By: ASIAFEVER
Club/Brewer Notes:
Black colored body, with red mahogany back lit edge. Thin tan head which becomes a surface storm and thin ring. No lacing but a film is left behind. Aroma of sweetened dark roasted malts, with other smells of cinnamon and chocolate. Barrel aged with oak. Taste is a mix of dark roasted malts, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and the barrel aging - dark fruit and oak. Mellow aftertaste of sweet dark roasted chocolate malts. Effect of the chiles is subtle but earthy. Medium mouth feel, with a stickiness and also a drying finish (higher ABV%). Sweet rather than a burn. Supportive carbonation. Bourbon infused dark roasted malts with dark chocolate and cinnamon, so easy to drink.
