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 Atomic Garden
Bier de Coupage- 5.6% ABV Pete Pictured on the right. Dry and funky with a tiny bit of fruitiness. Darn good beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
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 Cadenza
Wild Ale - 6.7% ABV Pete Funky, fruity, and a tiny bit tart. This is an excellent, complex beer that is hard to do justice with words. Paired perfectly with my pork roll, egg, and chee. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Chagiga "Celebration" Ale
Dark Ale - 5.5% ABV Pete This beer is ultra loaded with carbonation. It has a super light body with a good amount of currant flavor that gets muted due to the carbonation. Good beer, but I think it'd be better with fewer bubbles. Ratings: Pete - 4 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 Clip Art - Blanc/Melon
New England IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete A touch malty and pretty darn peppery. It's solid, but the maltiness is not my style. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Clip Art - Chaos
New England IPA - 7% ABV Pete Super floral/piney going down with a really really dry finish. Kept me coming back for more. Delicious. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Clip Art - Strata
New England IPA - 7% ABV Pete Very solid IPA. A little creamy going down with a dry finish. Ratings: Pete - 4 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 Criadera
Wild Ale - 6% ABV Pete Pretty funky and pretty oaky. Finishes like a really dry red wine. A little fruit would've put it over the top, but it's still damn good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Darkhorse Stout
Imperial Export Stout - 9.3% ABV Pete Smells like chocolate, fruit, and alcohol. The flavor matches with maybe a little bit of vanilla. The red wine aging likely gave it the fruity and boozy notes. Really good. 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 Diamond Lake
Imperial New England IPA - 8.3% ABV Pete Awesome. Creamy, tropical citrus and maybe a hint of coconut but not enough to detract from the beer for me. 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 Earthshine Guava Gose
Gose - 5% ABV Pete Really tart and pretty salty. The guava is there but definitely mild. This is an excellent beer, but a little bit more guava flavor would have put it over the top. 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 Entourage Effect
New England IPA - 7.2% ABV Pete Smells like it's going to be ultra-creamy/hazy. The actual body is much closer to the way it looks - much lighter. The flavor is a nice combo of candied citrus and zesty flavors. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Fest Lager
Märzen - 5.6% ABV Pete Easy-drinking lager with some maltiness in the finish, but not too much. Damn good festbier. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Full Lotus
New England IPA - 6.9% ABV Pete Great beer. Light body and super peppery/zesty. Ratings: Pete - 5 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 Green Eyes Rye
Rye IPA - 6.9% ABV Pete I absolutely love the rye in this beer. Good spiciness to it. There's something else in here that I don't love though, maybe coconut flavor? They even out into a solid beer. Ratings: Pete - 4 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 Hooked on Psionics
Sour - 5.2% ABV Pete Pictured on the right. There's a lot of things going on in this beer description, but it ends up being pretty mild. Super drinkable, I just wish there was more flavor. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Hot Tramp
New England IPA - 6.3% ABV Pete Really good, slightly different NEIPA. Hazy and fruity, with a little bit of wine-y funk. 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 Lost Pharaoh
Grisette - 4.8% ABV Pete Collaboration with Brockton Beer (haven't had any of those as of 11/2/22). Solid spicy saison-like beer that mellows as it warms. Ratings: Pete - 4 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 Mind Mischief
New England IPA - 6.6% ABV Pete A little sweet, which makes sense for the style, but it's also a little more malty than I expected. Solid, but not my favorite. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Moon Farm
Grisette - 4.7% ABV Pete Damn good beer. It's like a saison on steroids. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Numerology
Coffee Stout - 7.4% ABV Pete Damn good coffee stout. A little sweet but mostly roasty coffee flavor. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Öl Hanse
Baltic Porter - 7.8% ABV Pete Damn good. Light body, but all the vanilla and roasty flavor you could ask for in a dark beer. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant One Drop Barrel Aged Sour
Sour - 6.4% ABV Pete Really tart with a nice bite of spice/funk and some rum flavor at the end. Works really nicely together. 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 Slow Numbers
Imperial Milk Stout - 9.4% ABV Pete Pictured on the left (obviously). Super syrupy - almost more like a barleywine than a stout. Quite solid, just not what I was expecting. Ratings: Pete - 4 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 Solar Fields
Sour - 5.9% ABV Pete Pretty mellow sour with a little funk. Extremely easy to drink. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Sour Sol
Sour - 5.8% ABV Pete I love the Remant sours with saison yeast. That extra spice/funk really adds another level to the tart/fruity combo. This one leans toward funky with some passion fruit in the background. I didn't really get vanilla, but I'm fine with that. 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 Spring Lager
Vienna Lager - 5.3% ABV Pete Definitely a German lager. Malty yet easy to drink. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Surf Slang
Sour - 5% ABV Pete This is definitely a good beer, but I just am not a huge cherry beer fan, so it's not great for me. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Tangerine Kush
New England IPA - 6.7% ABV Pete Damn good beer. Definitely tastes like citrus peel, and it has a grassy flavor at the very end that's nice. Ratings: Pete - 5 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 The Last Golden Harmony
New England IPA - 7% ABV Pete Collaboration with Gilded Skull (haven't had any of those as of 7/7/21) and Wandering Soul. I love this beer. It's super dry and a little citrusy, coming off kind of like grapefruit juice. Definitely not for everyone, but definitely for me. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant The Sound All Around
New England Pale Ale - 6% ABV Pete Collaboration with Wandering Soul. Described as soft and pillowy, which definitely fits with what this is. The dominant flavor for me is papaya. Super crushable. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Remnant Vestige
Saison - 5.8% ABV Pete Pretty straightforward, fairly mild saison with a little spice. Ratings: Pete - 4 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 |
