Beer of the Week: Nightmare Windlass of Erasmus

Stayed in all (3-day) weekend, but I drank plenty of singles I got at the new beer store near me. It was a good weekend. The best one I got came highly recommended: Nightmare Windlass of Erasmus. 
Description: Quite sour, noticeable saltiness, with obvious blackberry flavor. The saltiness along with tart fruit reminds me of oysters with mignonette, though it's much fruitier and tart than that. 
What you should know: This is a contract brewery based out of New York, but the beer was brewed in Boston. Their website is a bit of a trip, so just stick to Untappd if you're trying to find their stuff. 
​Recommendations: I had this beer with mussels, and I couldn't have been happier with that choice. You definitely want to have it with something salty, because its flavor can be overwhelming. Either that or just enjoy its lonesome.

Beer of the Week: Other Half Deep Orbit Cygnus

Went to NYC this past weekend to visit Josh. We had numerous beers. The highlight was a trip to Other Half. The best of the bunch: Other Half Deep Orbit Cygnus.
Description: When I saw an imperial stout brewed with Snickers and Butterfinger, all I could think was: this is likely going to be more gimmicky than good. You know what: it is gimmicky, but that doesn't mean the beer isn't incredible.  Jet black with no noticeable head, could be confused with flat cola. The flavor is just plain old Butterfinger with a little hint of peanut and caramel (aka Snickers). It's also a bit boozy tasting, but that's hard to avoid at 15.5% (sheesh).
What you should know: Other Half makes some incredible beers. They make some gimmicky-sounding things, but the flavors are really there, and it's hard to argue. 
​Recommendations: Take a trip to Other Half next time you're in NYC. It's a bit hard to get to, but it's worth it. Stick with the 4oz pours: they make strong stuff.
