Greenbush Brewing Co. | ClosurE | 5.9% ABV | Pale Ale

Decent pale ale. Wouldn't be my first choice, but it's pretty solid. Slightly more complex than Sierra Nevada's pale ale. Good beer on a hot day in a sweaty glass.

Price: 9.99/6-pack

Rating: 6.5/10

Lagunitas | Lucky 13 | 8.6% ABV | Red Ale

As far as reds go, this is pretty solid. Super hoppy, copper in color, gives off a aroma similar to candied nug of weed. For the price, you can't beat it. Good start to a BBQ.

Price: 3.99/22oz Bomber

Boulevard Brewing | Grainstorm | 7.7% ABV | Black Rye IPA

Oh, another craptacular beer from boulevard. I was going to write a scathing review about this beer full of f-bombs and c-bombs, but part of my review process involves checking other sites for second opinions. I don't know what boulevard is doing, but outside of 3ish beers, they're not for me. I didn't like this beer but you might...buy Wookie Jack by Firestone Walker instead. Fart.

Pipeworks Brewing | Unicorns Revenge | 10% | Double IPA

This is the imperial version of Pipework's Ninja vs. Unicorn. It's a pretty solid beer but in no way lives up to the unicorn name. New Zealand hops give this a very light smooth feel. That' 10% abv is very secretive. If you seen this, grab it.

Price: 10.99/22oz bomber

Goose Island | Night Stalker | 11.5% | Imperial Stout

Pull this gem from your cellars! It's only brewery fresh for 180 days and this years batch is coming of age! It's kinda got a salty/mesquite flavor that shows up in simcoe hopped ales. It's pretty decent still but I do prefer it fresh. I just wanted to see what a the 180 days did to it.

Greenbush | Anger | 7.6% abv | Black IPA

As I promised, more Greenbush. This might be one of the best black IPA's I've ever had. Belgian malts, dark chocolate, bitter hops. I finally have my "available year round black ipa". I fucking love this, and you should too.

Price: 9.99/6-pack

Rating: 9.9/10

Hops: Columbus, Amarillo, Simcoe, Cascade

Greenbush Brewing Co. | Brother Benjamin | 10.1% | Imperial IPA

Brand new to the Chicago market, Greenbush is setting a fire under beer nerd-asses, and with good reason. Brother Benjamin, the first of many Greenbush beers I'll be bringing to your attention, is an imperial india pale ale brewed with honey. This beautiful honey filled malty iipa is pretty near perfect. Pretty sure this is available year round but don't quote me on that. I can't find anything saying it isn't. Go get this fackin beer!

Price: 12.99/4-pack

Dogfish Head | Raison D'Etre | 8% ABV

Belgian Strong Dark Ale?

I never really thought of this as a belgian but I guess it kind of makes sense. The raisons give it a sweet taste that compliments the malts very nicely. This is a good beer if you like it sweet.

Price: $9.99/6pack

There is no strong beer. Only weak men.

Yo!

Anyone got Surly five for trade or sale?

Maine Beer Company | Zoe | 7.2% ABV

Red Ale

This is no ordinary red. I'm blown away by how dark looking this is. The carmel in this is a punch in the face and then Immediately fades into a heavy malt flavor. This is a really good read. I like it a lot.

Pipeworks Brewing Co | Hyper Dog 7.5% ABV

Milk Stout

Holy shit! Come to Chicago and get this! You won't find a better milk stout. Coffee, Vanilla, Malts. Perfect!

Price: $9.99

5 Rabbit Cerveceria | 5Vulture | 6.4% ABV

Dark Ale (chile beer)

Sweet, bready, creamy, spice is barely present and doesn't burn. Easy to drink, but in the future

I would go straight to New Belgium's Cocoa Mole if I wanted a chile beer.

Half Pints Brewing Co | Little Scrapper IPA | 6% ABV

IPA

Half Pints Brewing Co is the local brewery for a GANG of friends I have in the Winnipeg area. For those of you dumb American that might be reading(and I hope you're not), that's in Canada. I recently went to Minneapolis to meet them and got a whole shit load of Half Pints beer! This blog is going to have a lot of half pints reviews coming up. Starting with the Little Scrapper IPA! This is a malty IPA or so I hope. Otherwise this is kind of old. Either way it's not very good. Poor start to a brewery that has been hyped up for me. Booooooooooooooo.

Price: I unno. Usual 6 pack prices?

Avery Brewing | IPA | 6.5% ABV

IPA

Just another generic IPA with mild bitterness and not much else. There are better options than this for the price.

Founders | Centennial IPA | 7.2% ABV

IPA

Bottled 2/22/2012 Smells great, very floral. Bitter, dank and a little sweet. Wasn't the freshest IPA, but still pretty solid. Founders has so many other better beers though. Reminded me of Sierra Nevada Torpedo - yeah probably different hops or something, go ahead write and complain that I can't tell the difference.
