Pouring a medium amber color with a robust cap of foam that drops plenty of lace as it recedes, this is a good looking IPA as it rests in the glass. It’s named in honor of the nose art that American WWII aviators were known for painting on their bombers (Betty Grable being perhaps the most famous pin-up girl of the era). Hangar 24 uses an array of six different hop varieties in this brew, delivering a bold olfactory impact. On the nose, we picked up lots of...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz

- Serving Temperature: 42-47º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Flute
- Hops: CTZ
- Malts: 2-Row, White Wheat
- Country: United States
Hangar 24’s popular Orange Wheat pours a golden straw color with plenty of haze, as is typical for wheat ales, topped by a head of bright white foam. Wheat beers are often served with a wedge of lemon or orange, as the bright citrus note tends to work well with the tangy character of the wheat. Hangar 24 has embraced this concept, employing real, whole, locally-sourced oranges which are delivered to the brewery right after picking. Those oranges are...

- Hops: Nugget, Northern Brewer, Fuggle
- Malts: 2-Row, Munich, Light & Dark Crystal, Carafoam
- Country: United States
Few beers are as satisfying on a chilly day as a good oatmeal stout like Free State's. Do let this one come up from fridge temp though; a cool cellar temperature is the best for serving. This brew pours very dark brown, almost black, capped by a head of medium-brown foam. The aroma profile had us hooked immediately, as the malts and hops combine to create a complex and engaging character. Look for roasted chocolate and coffee notes, brown...

- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Nugget, Fuggle
- Malts: 2-Row, Carafoam, Carahell, Munich, Acidulated
- Country: United States
Ad Astra Amber Ale was the very first beer Free State brewed when they opened in 1989, becoming the first beer (legally) made in the state since the 19th century. Pouring a deep, ruddy amber hue with good clarity and a cap of beige foam, this brew wastes no time offering up its intriguing aroma. Look for a nice balance between caramel maltiness and fruity overtones...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz

- ABV: 4.8%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 48
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F

- Malts: 2-Row, Munich, White Wheat, Carapils, Acidulated, Flaked Oats
- Country: United States
Pacific Coast Hazy presents a lightly hazed golden hue, capped by a head of crisp white foam. In the aroma, we picked up tons of bright and juicy orange and tangerine citrus notes, along with some tropical fruit, floral overtones, and a dash of pine. We’re off to a good start, and it continues on the palate as those citrus notes lead the way there too, offering an expansive, zesty...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA
- ABV: 6.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 59
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
- Hops: Columbus, Crystal, Centennial, Citra
- Malts: 2-Row, Wheat, Crystal, Acidulated, Carahell
- Country: United States
Stormchaser pours a lightly hazy, golden-orange color capped by a crop of just off-white foam. Brewed with four hops known for producing citrus notes, among others, it's no surprise that bright citrus notes lead the way in the aroma department. Zesty orange and grapefruit character bursts forth along with a gently perfumed floral quality and touches of mild spice. Hints of...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA
- ABV: 7.3%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 68
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
- Hops: Columbus, Centennial, Citra
- Malts: 2-Row, Rolled Oats, Acidulated
- Country: United States
Named in honor of Yakima Valley, WA, the undisputed hop capital of North America, Yakimaniac is a worthy love letter to the region. Pouring a bright golden hue with a crisp, almost white head of foam, this unfiltered IPA presents a very bold and resinous hop aroma that jumps out from the glass. Look for very bright notes of citrus rind/zest including grapefruit and lemon, tropical...
- Bottle Size: 500-ml
- Style: German-style Pilsner
- ABV: 5.1%
- Serving Temperature: 42-47° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Stange, Flute
- Country: Austria
Hopfenkönig, meaning “hop king”, pours a bright pale golden color capped by a robust head of white foam that persists well and drops some lace. On the nose, look for a prominent undertone of biscuit-like malt, overlaid by a hop profile that’s quite grassy and earthy, lightly herbal and spicy, and shot through with a hint of lemon. On the palate, we liked this brew’s balance...
- Bottle Size: 500-ml
- Style: Hefeweizen
- ABV: 5.2%
- Serving Temperature: 42-47° F
- Suggested Glassware: Weizen Glass, Pilsner Glass
- Country: Germany
This beer is an old Bavarian beer specialty. Helles Hefe Weizen, literally translated, means "light wheat with yeast." You may be familiar with the term "dunkel," (pronounced dune-kuhl) which means "dark"—the counterpoint to light, helles beers. To fully enjoy the flavors of this beer, we encourage you to pour about 2/3 into the appropriate weizen glass, then vigorously swirl the...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Quadrupel
- ABV: 10%
- Serving Temperature: 42–50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Goblet, Chalice, or Tulip Glass
- Country: Belgium
Brouwerij Maenhout’s Ferre quadrupel is an exceptionally delicious take on the Belgian style, packed with rich core complexity from the specialty malt additions, and fermented to perfect condition. A very easy beer to dig into, super generous flavors and aromatics from first pour, and just so well handled throughout. We were blown away by this one. This has never before appeared in bottles stateside, with previous distribution limited to kegs sent to select Florida markets. We’re getting...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Tripel
- ABV: 8.5%
- Serving Temperature: 42–48° F
- Suggested Glassware: Chalice, Goblet, or Tulip Glass
- Hops: Cascade, Northern Brewer, Centennial, 7784
- Country: Belgium
This month we’re pleased to feature Brouwerij Biermaekers Driemasten’s Bux Tripel, our highlight of the brewery’s current lineup, and one of the most satisfying Belgian tripels we have tried in quite a while. This fruity, spicy, herbaceous strong golden ale was brewed with locally sourced ingredients and various classic hops—including Cascade, Northern Brewer, Centennial, and 7784 (a unique variety that was initially discovered growing wild in Belgium). Bux Tripel is top fermented and unfiltered...
