A Pomegranate Sour IPA On A Windy Spring Day

5 PM at home with winds blowing steady out of the south and a vibrant, warm sunshine peaking out from amongst the passing clouds. And of course I have a companion alongside to help me really soak up the moment and keep calm during the occasional gusts-Martin House Brewing Company’s Panama Red: a sour IPA with Pomegranates.

This sour hopped up brew provides plenty of tart, along with a subtle hop citrus bite balanced out by a bit of pomegranate sweetness at the finish. Pairing suggestions might include a bowl of buttery popcorn for a snack or some BBQ ribs for a meal.

I hope everyone’s Friday evenings are just as splendid (besides the steady winds and occasional gusts), and may your weekend present to you enticing, and yet swell adventures. Cheers.

End of Day Beer Medicine

Winding down this evening with a dose of hoppiness from Community Beer Company out of Dallas, Texas. Aromas of tropical fruit, orange peel, and pine. Each sip provides you with a mellow pineapple and mango blend that’s accompanied by a hint of citrus fruit and black pepper. Get the meds while they’re good, but just watch your dosage. Cheers.

Panther Island Brewing Company’s Hazy Cat NE IPA

Getting a little lazy with Hazy Cat brewed up by the guys at Panther Island Brewing Company in Fort Worth, Texas. A wonderfully crafted northern IPA that comes with robust aromas of citrus and orange peel, and yet provides a subtle citrus tang flavor with a slight hop bite at the finish. This brew is sure to keep you warm and hoppy through these cool winter nights; cheers.
