Beer Bums Meeting – June 2015 – Sexy Beers

This was Chris’s Birthday Spectacular so he chose the fitting theme of “Sexy Beers” or beers with some sort of sexy themed label or the like.  Pin-up girls seemed a likely candidate for a beer label and those chosen prove that point.  Banana bread beer was a very surreal interpretation, but well done although pin up girls were on the carrier.  A few extras thrown in with a Curmudgeon to wash it all down.  Happy Birthday Chris!










Next Month, June – TBD

The Brü Revü – Breckenridge 471 Small Batch IPA

The Breckenridge 471 Small Batch IPA came from a recent Bums Meeting and it was instantly impressive.  I knew I would have to give it a proper review and it continued to impress on my second taste.  The beer poured a golden amber with a substantial white creamy head. The aroma held tropical fruits and those dank hops I love.  The initial taste hit with a solid hop bitterness with piney and dank hops and some tropical fruit for good measure.  It had a very nice hop profile that was bitter and flavorful with the dank hoppiness that always pulls me in.  The Small Batch IPA had a slightly sweet finish but left a nice lingering bitterness.  The 471 was a really well crafted beer and a taste profile I liked a lot.  I wish I would have tried it sooner.

Imperial beers was such a good idea.  Mainly Imperial IPAs, but one Imperial stout and one Imperial Pilsner along with THE Imperial from Costa Rica.  All great beers not a stinker in the bunch!

Beer Bums Meeting – April 2012 – Friday the 13th beers

We are back to our Old School meeting for this month and in honor of meeting on Friday the 13th, we all brought a beer having to do with the unlucky and superstitious date. Most of the beers were for good luck with the exception of the Dark Rain and Hop Rising. You gotta love the Lucky Beer Happy Buddha bottle and the Hop Rising was very good. All in all a good group of beers. Back to the “new” format next month.
