Delirium Tremens is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal that involves sudden and severe mental or neurological changes. With a name like that it’s got to be good, right? From Brouwerij Huyghe (don’t ask me for the pronunciation) in Belgium, their Tremens is a Belgian Pale Ale that sits at 8.5% ABV.
The Flying Dog Kerberos Tripel, an obvious Tripel-style beer, brings a great flavor profile with a Vintage 2008 12 oz bottle. Purchased just this year, the Kerberos has been aging for almost two years which, as any beer geek knows, changes the flavor of the beer. This is my first taste of any of the Kerberos, so my judgment is soley based off the 2008 bottle.
When a friend of a friend texts you and says that he will be in town and, oh yeah, he has a hard to find craft beer to share, you invite said friend over and partake in their beer; no matter what you had planned. This is how I got to sample the Samuel Adams New World Tripel, which is part of their Barrel Room Collection.
The Anchor Old Foghorn is an English-style Barleywine that seemed to be a bit lighter in its alcohol content at 8.8% ABV. That is, compared to some other ones I’ve had like the Dogfish Head Olde School which holds a massive 15.04% ABV. Having said that, the Old Foghorn is quite sessionable for the style, and that’s nothing to complain about.
I was standing around at Craft Ale House talking with the owners and I mentioned that I needed a new beer to review. Melissa turned around and went to the bottle cooler and pulled out a 750ml bottle of Vanberg & DeWulf’s Lambrucha and started telling me about how it is a Lambic that is brewed with Kombucha Tea. Feeling adventurous I decided to bring it home and give it a try, I swore that I heard “Take a walk on the wild side” playing as I left the bar…ominous.
