Beer of the Week: Evil Genius It Is Our Birthday.

4/9/2021

Took a trip to PA this past week, so I mixed it up with some different breweries. The best: Evil Genius It Is Our Birthday. 
Description: Great beer, better name. Vanilla dessert-y brown with a light body.
What you should know: I could drink a bunch of these, especially alternating with an IPA. 
Recommendations: Pick your next beer based on the name and label, not based on brewery and style.

Beer of the Week: Other Half Deep Orbit Cosmos Redshift

Traded some Tree House for some Other Half this week, and got to enjoy some of them with Josh. The best of the bunch: Other Half Deep Orbit Cosmos Redshift
Description: This is described as a fluffernutter, but it really missed the mark. Instead, it landed on liquid Reese's cup. I am not complaining. Ultra decadent, so you'll definitely want to split the bottle. Try to drink the whole thing and you'll be overwhelmed by the sweetness (not to mention the 16% ABV).
What you should know: We were going strong until this beer put Josh to sleep.
Recommendations: It's only Tuesday. Have some mid-week beers this week.

Beer of the Week: Tree House Curiosity One Hundred Nine

I went to Tree House. Needless to say it's been a good week. The best: Tree House Curiosity One Hundred Nine
Description: Tons of different fruit flavors flying at you when you drink this, making it hard to pinpoint any specific ones, but extremely delicious. It's a little sweet going down with a slightly dry finish that makes you want to grab it again for another sip. I drank 8.4% ABV pint in like 10 minutes, so things went well.
What you should know: I actually had a bad beer from Tree House in this batch. Even the greats have off days.
Recommendations: Go for a personal favorite this weekend. Whether it's a favorite beer, or a new beer from a favorite brewery, get something you know you're going to like.

Beer of the Week: Skygazer Watercolors Replay: Lemon, Raspberry, Blueberry, Vanilla, Milk Sugar

I picked up my drinking pace in the last week, and had 4 '6 shyoh' beers to choose from for this. The best: Skygazer Watercolors Replay: Lemon, Raspberry, Blueberry, Vanilla, Milk Sugar
Description: The texture and flavor of this beer both scream fruit smoothie. Equal parts tart and sweet while being incredibly fruity.
What you should know: This was my first beer from this brewery; obviously, I will be back. Also, in the course of adding this beer on this site, I had to constantly remind myself that 'k' is before 'l' in the alphabet. Not my best day.
Recommendations: If you see a beer from a brewery you haven't heard of, try it.

Beer of the Week: Definitive Dazzle

I haven't been drinking a ton of beers lately, but I'm still finding great ones (though I actually had a couple horrible beers this week). The best: Definitive (and Aslin) Dazzle
Description: This is a milkshake IPA, and it definitely hit that. Tastes like an orange creamsicle with a hint of cherry. It doesn't overwhelm you with flavor, but it's damn good.
What you should know: Both these breweries are great and are expanding distribution, which is great news for beer drinkers everywhere.
Recommendations: If you haven't had a milkshake IPA yet, give it a try. They're not for everyone, but they're definitely unique.

Beer of the Week: Hudson Valley Oatmeal Silhouette: Blueberry

I haven't had more than 1 of a beer in months - great variety. The best this week is my first from this brewery: Hudson Valley Oatmeal Silhouette: Blueberry
Description: The sour IPA portion of this sounds like it'd be weird with the oats, blueberry, and maple, but it works. Starts tart with lots of carbonation and finishes like a blueberry pancake.
What you should know: This brewery came highly recommended, and it didn't disappoint. Looking forward to the other one I got from them.
Recommendations: Find yourself something light and refreshing this weekend. Pretend it's warm.

Beer of the Week: Second Wind S'mores Blackout

Like last week, I'm working my way through the case of singles that's mostly IPA's. Once again, the best was not an IPA. This time, it's a stout: Second Wind S'mores Blackout
Description: All the flavors of a s'more where the marshmallow was left on the fire a little bit longer than normal. That gives it a little extra roasty smokiness that I love, but many others don't.
What you should know: This is the 2nd beer from this brewery I've featured on BOTW. The first one was an IPA. The brewery has been open almost 3 years, but just started packaging recently (at least, just started sending it as far up north as Boston). Once things start returning back to normal, a trip to this brewery is high on my list of things to do.
Recommendations: Stout season is ending. Get them while you can.

Beer of the Week: Bluejacket Seeing Sounds

Working my way through the case of singles. Most of them are IPA's, but the best I had this week was a sour: Bluejacket Seeing Sounds
Description: Slightly tart tangerine flavor along with a very subtle hint of vanilla, giving it a fruit smoothie-like flavor.
What you should know: This is the 2nd sour I've had from Bluejacket, and they've both been incredible.
Recommendations: If you can get your hands on a sour from Bluejacket, please do. They're pretty new to the distribution game (based in DC). The only non-sour beer I had from them (a stout) was not very good, so I can't vouch for non-sours.

Beer of the Week: Equilibrium Little Adjunct Integration

After last week's Tree House trip, I went to my favorite store to get a case of singles. Needless to say, I had a lot of good options. The best: Equilibrium Little Adjunct Integration
Description: A lot going on in the making of this beer. Tons of different hops, and aged on a whole bunch of stuff. The end result is an orange creamsicle in liquid form.
What you should know: I hadn't had any beers from this brewery in awhile. They make a lot of experimental stuff, and it can be real hit or miss. This was a hit.
Recommendations: Don't be afraid to try something different. You might not like it, but you might find a new favorite.

Beer of the Week: Tree House Persist

I took a trip to Tree House. It's been a good week. The best: Tree House Persist
Description: About as good as a stout gets. Maple, chocolate, bourbon, and vanilla come together differently in each sip to lead to a deliciously decadent yet dangerously drinkable beer.
What you should know: Tree House dominates. This is the 12th beer from them with a perfect rating (more than 1/5 of the total beers with perfect ratings).
Recommendations: Go with an old favorite this weekend. Whether it's a favorite beer, or just a new beer from a favorite brewery.
