Want us to try more sour beers? Hopefully you answered a resounding yes because that is what we have on the show today. The Grand Cru from Brouwerij Strubbe is a Flemish red ale. Also know as a Flanders red, this style of sour shares some things in common with traditional English…
How fitting one day after Halloween that we greet you with the Wake Up Dead Stout from Left Hand Brewing. It’s a Russian Imperial Stout to be exact that is cellared for four months before being unleashed upon the public. Available year round in this version or in limited quantities that have been…
Today on the show we have a beer that is available year round, but we feel fits nicely into our theme of beers for fall. Marin Brewing out of Larkspur California brings to the table today their Point Reyes Porter. This brewery is fairly new to the Southwest, but is making a strong…
We welcome not only a new seasonal beer today, but also a new brewery to the show. Abita Brewing was founded in 1986 and is located just outside of New Orleans. The beers they produce cover the range of styles you’d expect, but what caught our eye in looking for some new seasonal…
New Belgium Brewing brings us not only a seasonal beer today, but possibly a nod to a great movie starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin. Their Red Hoptober (I guess if they had said The Hunt For that would have been a little obvious) seems to have replaced the just Hoptober from last year.…

An IPA is a great option anytime of year even if it is technically the fall. Here in Arizona fall means that the temperature is finally dipping below 90 degrees. It is with this premise that we bring the Barrel Trolley Brewing IPA to the tasting table. Found on a heavily marketed…
Port Brewing is no stranger to our site. Their beer has only let us down one time, Midnight Expression, so it is with great excitement that we bring their Anniversary Ale to the tasting table today. What style is this seasonal beer you might ask? If their website is to be believed,…
The Saison du Buff collaboration was first brewed by Stone, Dogfish and Victory Brewing in 2010. This was the first and I think only beer to come out of their BUFF (Brewers United for Freedom of Flavor) alliance. It was brewed at all three breweries using the same recipe and ingredients throughout that…
