Summary

nr	Belching Beaver Brewery Hazers Gonna Haze Hazy IPA \| % ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

85	Real Ale Brewing Company Wallball India Pale Lager \| 5.8% ABV \| 40 IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
So fresh and so clean, this India Pale Lager (one of the first beers created on our 10-hl pilot system) was no doubt crafted with hops in mind. Inspired by the enigmatic DJ handle of James N, one of our intrepid brewers, we wanted a clean canvas (a wall if you will) to bounce mad amounts of hops off of. As a result, this pale golden lager is jammed full of copious late hop additions of Citra and Callista. Quickly snap your wrist and throw down a WALLBALL or two – you’ll be bouncing for days!

86	Hopworks Urban Brewery Juicy IPA American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 6.3% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: LARA

87	Belching Beaver Brewery Hazers Gonna Haze Hazy IPA \| 6.6% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Hazers Gonna Haze is our first year-round packaged Hazy IPA, and the best part, we’re changing it up each quarter with a new hop profile! Same label, different hops. Before landing on this first recipe, we went through a lot of iterations of our best Hazy IPAs. The foundation of Hazers Gonna Haze is based on a well-rounded mouthfeel that emphasizes and highlights the tropical and juicy flavors from the hops.

88	New Belgium Brewing Company VooDoo Ranger 1985 IPA American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 6.7% ABV \| 30 IBU Offered By: FATBOY

Club/Brewer Notes:
Like totally loaded with juicy mango flavor, 1985 takes you back to the future of hazy IPAs. Buckle up. Slightly sweet juicy mango that fades to moderate bitterness and lingers slightly.

Hazy Juicy IPA ddh with Azacca & Amarrillo

87	Lexington Brewing Company Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale American Strong Ale \| 8.2% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
Award-winning Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale® is a unique sipping beer with the distinctive nose of a well-crafted bourbon. Our Kentucky Ale® is aged for up to six weeks in freshly decanted bourbon barrels from some of Kentucky’s finest distilleries. Subtle yet familiar flavors of vanilla and oak are imparted to this special ale as it rests in the charred barrels. Pleasantly smooth and robust, Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale may also be served as an aperitif or after-dinner drink. Launched in 2006, it has grown to become the flagship beer of the premier name in barrel-aged beers: Alltech Lexington Brewing and Distilling Company.

89	Avery Brewing Company Night Warden American-Style Imperial Stout \| 8.2% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
A balanced, roasted malt bill and strong notes of vanilla and caramel from the whiskey barrels make Night Warden smooth and full-bodied.
