  • Sixpoint Bengali Tiger

    I recently discovered Sixpoint beers, most notably their famous Resin and while I love the Resin, I think I might be an even bigger fan of the Bengali Tiger, their wonderfully balanced single IPA.

New Belgium La Folie 2012

New Belgium La Folie 2012

La Folie is one of the brews that us beer geeks anticipate all year and it’s also the beer that turned me onto sours…I can’t really say whether this year’s batch is better or worse than previous years but it was definitely good enough for me to snag a few bottles to tuck away.

Jolly Pumpkin La Roja

Jolly Pumpkin La Roja

I recently got my hands on a bottle of their La Roja which they describe as an “artisan amber ale brewed in the Flanders tradition” but I think most people would describe it as a Flanders Red type ale along the lines of Rodenbach. Either way, it is a deliciously sour beer worth the price tag.
