A stout built around the Black Forest promise, where cherry, sweetness, and dark malts line up, but the real question is how well the cake idea holds.

A West Coast IPA that doesn’t chase extremes but still takes a few quiet turns you might not see coming. Not flashy, just interesting enough to warrant a closer look.

A familiar Helles that quietly bends its own rules, offering just enough unexpected detail to make you pause, rethink, and keep chasing what’s happening in the glass.

Rocket Bean’s Magic Pussy flirts with decadence and danger; a boldly packaged Ethiopian natural that teases red fruit, cocoa warmth, and a surprisingly tactile sweetness when treated right.

A barrel-aged Barley Wine from Mad Scientist brewed with pumpkin and rum barrels; rich, spiced, caramel-sweet, and a perfect case for Halloween beers

A Swedish Berliner Weisse that tastes like seaside limoncello, tart, salty, and disarmingly smooth. But does Brewski’s “Salty Lemon” hide too much restraint?

A rich Brazilian espresso layered with chocolate, dried fruit, and almond butter tones, smooth in milk, steady as an americano, reliably neutral from first sip to last.

Four hops, one can, and a glassful of intrigue. We opened it fearing a bit too much of everything, but what we found was a DIPA negotiating fruit and resin with finesse.

A regal bottle, a raspberry promise, and a stout that slightly split our table. Was it brilliance or flaw? The truth lies somewhere in the pour.

A nameless organic pilsner in a black can with three faces. Straw, citrus, hay—then something unexpected. We poured it, we tasted, and… well.
