Beer of the Week: Trillium Stroka

7/30/2021

Pete
Had one of my best selections this week with a trip to my favorite bar, and a trip to Trillium. Trillium came out ahead with Trillium Stroka
Description: Ultra tart and ultra funky, with both those things competing for your taste buds at first. Then the fruitiness hits, and the beer finally leaves you with an herbaceous taste after you're done.
What you should know: 2 things: first, this is a collaboration with The Veil. I am going to have to go out of my way to find those. Second, this is as good as it gets. The 55th 7 Shyoh rated beer (out of 3699) on the site.
Recommendations: Grab a beer this weekend that's a collaboration between multiple breweries. Collabs have only gotten better over the years.

Beer of the Week: Lord Hobo Strawberry Lemonade Sour

With things getting back to normal-ish, I'm starting to get a nice variety of beers in stores and in bars. The best I had this week: Lord Hobo Strawberry Lemonade Sour
Description: Ultra-refreshing, but you still know it's a beer. Way more beer flavor than lemonade, and way more lemon flavor than strawberry. They could have called this "Lord Hobo Summer" and that would've made perfect sense.
What you should know: Even with the lighter body and fruity flavors, this is still 5.5%.
Recommendations: If you have the option to cook outdoors this weekend, grab a summer-style beer and have it while cooking. If not, just have a beer outside.

Had a few different beers this week as I went to a new bar with a very different selection due to the Euro Cup. I was not disappointed. The best: Petrus Sour Passion Fruit
Description: Smells exactly like you'd expect of a Belgian beer. The flavor is a perfect blend of tropical fruit and tart.
What you should know: This still packs a punch at 7.3% ABV. You could easily suck down a couple of these in a few minutes and get caught up.
Recommendations: Try an import this weekend. The US isn't the only country that makes great beer.

Beer of the Week: Aeronaut Journey To the Center

Some brewery hopping was done in the last few weeks. I had a lot to choose from at Aeronaut. My favorite: Aeronaut Journey To The Center
Description: From the brewery: hibiscus Gose kissed with coriander, pink salt, and white peppercorn. All of it comes through, and it ends up being a salty, herbaceous beer that finishes a little peppery.
What you should know: At 3.6% ABV, this was a welcome break from the mass of IPA's I had that day.
Recommendations: Have a low alcohol beer this weekend. Not a no alcohol beer, and not a light beer, just low alcohol (like 3-4.5%).

Beer of the Week: Tree House Daze

Alright, I'm caught up now. It should be no surprise that I've got another Tree House for this week: Tree House Daze
Description: Very peachy, with a light to medium body, and a dry finish. Really hard to put this one down.
What you should know: This is the 'light' version of Haze at 6.9% ABV. Haze was my first ever Tree House beer (I've had 137 now) and first 7 Shyoh beer from them (now 12). This isn't quite as good, but I would never say no.
Recommendations: Try to find a lighter beer this weekend that still packs a lot of flavor. Chances are you'll be drinking a lot.
