Crannog Back Hand of God

Picture unavailable at this time...

OMG this may have been one of my favorite beers in all of Canada.  We made a specific trip to a bar just to try this one.  I loved it!  It tasted somewhat similar to the Mocha Death from Iron Horse, but it was so delicious.  I wish this was more readily available where I live!!

Beer Advocate calls this one good.  I think they're underrating.
Here's what Crannog says!



Silver City Imperial Stout


The head on this beer was quite dark and it was really heavy.  It was really delicious and you could definitely feel the 9.2% ABV.  The beer was flavorful and compared to some of their other beers, particularly their porter, it had a million times more flavor.

Husband's review:  I was drinking their IPA.  See that hand in the background?  That's me.  It was ok.

Beer Advocate approves.
Here's what Silver City has to say about their beer.

Samuel Adams The Vixen



I didn't really drink this one.  I had a sip.  That was enough of that chili for me.  

Husband's review:  Not what I'd call a bock.  It was ok, but not something I'd hunt down again.

Beer Advocate says good.
Here's what Sam Adams says about their limited release.

Fremont Interurban IPA


After drinking some imperial IPAs it's not nearly as strong as I'd like, but it was quite tasty.  This is a local beer and that's always a plus.

Beer Advocate says good.

Avery Maharaja


Yum! Hoppy. Flavorful. I was quite surprised with how strong the flavor was. I would suggest this 100% if you like hoppy beers.  It's got 102 IBUs!  This is seasonal though, available December - March, so be sure to keep an eye out for in that part of the year!

Husband review:  I love this beer.  It's one of my favorites and I could drink it time and time again and never be disappointed.

Beer Advocate LOVES this beer.

Left Coast Hop Juice


First thing first, I can't drink Hop Juice without singing "Pimp Juice" in my head the entire time.  That being said, it's quite hoppy and delicious.  

Beer Advocate says good.
No link to Left Coast since their site is down tonight.
