Summary

86	Deep Ellum Brewing Hop Seeker American-Style Pale Ale \| 5.6% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Hop Seeker is a 100% wet hop ale with fresh cut Centennial hops in the initial boil and Equinox in the dry hop. Notice a pronounced aroma profile with citrus, tropical fruit, floral and herbal characteristics.

85	Deep Ellum Brewing Manic Confidence American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 6.5% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
Manic Confidence is a refreshingly juicy ‘Hazy-Enough’ IPA brewed with Galaxy, Enigma, Comet, Strata, and Idaho 7 hops, resulting in a salivating joy that leaves you craving for more. Trust us, it’s hazy enough.

87	Green Cheek Accepting the hopeless complexity Pilsner \| 7% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: KAY JAY

87	Pizza Port Brewing Company Open Itinerary American-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) \| 7.2% ABV \| 70 IBU Offered By: WESTEXANS

Club/Brewer Notes:
A simple grain bill of 2-Row allows the hop character to shine through in this bright, golden West Coast style IPA. Aromas of mango, lychee and guava lead to flavors of bright citrus and subtle berry notes thanks to the use of Citra and experimental hop HBC 586. This beer has mild bitterness and a clean, dry finish.

88	Martin House Brewing Company Astronaut Apocalypse American-Style Imperial Stout \| 12% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: SANTA

Club/Brewer Notes:
If there’s one thing we love doing more than fruited sours, it’s brewing up these big, boozy, roasty, chocolate stouts. Astronaut Apocalypse is a thick imperial stout brewed with flaked coconut. Fans of Colombiana will definitely enjoy this Christmas treat.

92	Hop Guru Its your birthday Jenna American-Style Imperial Stout \| 12.5% ABV \| 20 IBU Offered By: KAY JAY

Barrel aged stout with hazel nut oreo

93	The Bruery So Happens It's Tuesday American-Style Imperial Stout \| 15.3% ABV \| Unknown IBU Offered By: RONRICO

Club/Brewer Notes:
Namesake aside, this bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout is worthy of pouring every day of the week. Both elegant and complex, it exemplifies over 14 years of experience in barrel-aging technique. Notes of dark chocolate and vanilla are rounded out with hints of freshly picked cherries, dried figs, and molasses.
