Remnant Brewing |
|
Somerville, MA. Pete - This is a small brewery in Bow Market in Union Square. They have a relatively small indoor space, and a pretty large patio. That's ideal, as I visited during the pandemic. As of 07/2020, they have ~10 beers available, with a range of styles, and you can order food from any of the other vendors in Bow Market. Some beers have options for smaller pours, but nothing under 8 ounces, and no flights sadly. That said, you can also get beers to go, so I'd suggest loading up on the draft beers while you're there, and grabbing some cans to go.
Remnant Beginner's Mind
Dark Ale - 6.5% ABV Pete This is basically a 'black IPA'. Reminds me a lot of Allagash Black, which is high praise. Roasty and hoppy. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Remnant Bow St Session
Pale Ale - 4.9% ABV Pete Damn good session beer. It's crushable, but it has enough flavor to really appreciate the brewery for making a beer this tasty that is so easy to drink. I want a keg of this. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Remnant Clip Art
New England IPA - 7% ABV Pete Crisp dry and citrusy. Lemon is at the forefront of the citrus flavors, with a little bit of creaminess to it as well. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Remnant Clip Art - Amarillo
New England IPA - 7% ABV Pete Very good dry and spicy IPA, but not quite as good as the original. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Remnant Cosmic Dawn
Sour - 5.1% ABV Pete The description from the brewery says it drinks like a mimosa with an exotic note. I definitely agree that it tastes like champagne with some fruit. It was a great beer to have on New Year's Eve. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Remnant Deseja
Sour - 6.6% ABV Pete This tastes more like an ultra-complex saison than a sour, but sometimes those styles can blend together. A good amount of funk to go along with some fruity and earthy flavors. Unreal beer, and it paired very well with buffalo chicken pizza. Enough flavor to still taste it. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Dream Pop
Pale Ale - 5.9% ABV Pete Not a crazy amount of flavor, but definitely plenty for a pale ale. It's on the dank side, which I like a lot. My first Remnant - I'll be back for more based on this. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Remnant Ego Death 2020
Barleywine - 10.8% ABV Pete I have no clue what "oat wine" is, but this is apparently that (blended with other stuff). The smell is very obviously whiskey, from the aging, but that is not the flavor at all. Rich raisiny flavor, but with a dryness in the finish. It reminded me of sherry. This is a solid beer, but it's a lot - be glad it's served in a small portion. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Remnant Ghosts And Flowers
New England IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete Delicious beer. Not as creamy as your standard NEIPA, but that helps it come into its own as a refreshing light citrusy outdoor beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Hang Time IPA
New England IPA - 6.5% ABV Pete The first thing I said when I had this was "hard to argue with citra". It's just nicely citrusy, with a light body making it easy to drink and enjoy the citrus flavor. Great beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Remnant Lightform
Sour Saison - 5.2% ABV Pete This is an unreal beer that departs from the norm. Light body, mild peach flavor, slightly tart, and finishes with a hint of spice from the saison yeast. Lots of different flavors that work well together without overwhelming. Extremely crushable. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Lunar Glow
Sour - 5% ABV Pete Super refreshing beer. It has a tiny bit of tartness, and a hint of salty also. Goes down fast. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Mad Villainy
Sour Saison - 6.5% ABV Pete Super refreshing. A little tart and a little funky. Pairs perfectly with a salty steak. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Outermost Grave: Bully Boy
Imperial Stout - 11% ABV Pete This is a stout aged on Bully Boy whiskey barrels, and it tastes like everything you'd hope for in that style. Roasty and vanilla flavors up front with some spicy whiskey flavors in the background. The smell is full whiskey, so you better like that if you're planning to get this. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Quiet Storm
IPA - 7.4% ABV Pete Excellent beer. Smells floral. Flavor is grassy and pretty creamy with a hint of peppery-ness to it also. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Remnants From The Ashes
New England IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete Super creamy texture to go along with an ultra dry hoppy flavor, with no bitterness. Good amount of citrus flavor in there. Damn good beer. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Ritual Cake
Imperial Stout - 13% ABV Pete I was disappointed by this. It's described as dense and decadent, but it's actually got a fairly light body. When you open it, it's a coconut bomb, which I wasn't expecting. The flavor matches - coconut overwhelms. As you drink it, you start to get whiskey flavors with a hint of chocolate, but the coconut is still the star. I'd definitely drink it again, but I wouldn't pay for it. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |

Remnant Soft Polygons
New England IPA - 7.1% ABV Pete There's a lot of flavors swirling around in this beer, and you never know which is going to be highlighted on your next sip. Citrus, peppery, dankness, and even a touch of other tropical flavors (coconut?). In the end, the dankness wins out, and it's a very enjoyable ride while figuring that out. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Space Junk
Sour - 6% ABV Pete Damn good sour. A tiny bit fruity, but mostly dry tart flavors with some funky saison-y flavors in there at the end. Super complex and delicious. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant The Great Kerfluffle
Dark Ale - 7% ABV Pete If you don't like heavy beers, don't be scare of this one just because of the color. It has a very light body with tons of flavor. Loads of vanilla, and a syrupy fruitiness to go along with a hint of chocolate. Really tasty. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant What the Hefe?!
Hefeweizen - 5% ABV Pete Pretty smooth drinkable hefe with a hint of subtle fruitiness - lemon maybe. Perfect for summer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
