Crazy Mountain

[recoepic]

Komashura unlocked! (YW 1)

Lord Lava was a fuckin hell to get 🥲

Crazy Mountain Brewing’s Hookiebobb IPA (Picked up at Cravings in Tuscaloosa, AL). A 3 of 4. A pretty standard IPA with quite a lot of sticky lacing and a mostly herbal hop profile. Not the most pungent, and quite a bit of malt sweetness in a somewhat creamy body. Finishes dry.

Regional Variations

Crazy Mountain’s Hookiebobb is more APA than IPA. It’s got a fresh green scent, but the flavor is more muted than I was expecting. It’s floral like a forest, not an orchard. The body is lighter than an IPA needs. It’s fluffy, not juicy. It’s a decent beer, I wouldn’t turn it down. But when I’m reaching for an IPA, this isn’t really what I want. 

Maybe it’s a regional thing. I’ve been reading a lot lately about the NE IPA craze. Everyone in Portland lately wants murky, yeasty, thick beer lately. But what other regional variations are there?  

California IPAs tend to be golden and almost filtered clear. People say that in the NW, IPAs are piney-er. That ever really read true to me. What’s the speical in Colorado?

Local’s Stash : Bourbon Barrel Aged Scotch Ale (Crazy Mountain)

Brewery : Crazy Mountain Beer : Local’s Stash : Bourbon Barrel Aged Scotch Ale Style : Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy Variance : Bourbon Barrel Aged

8 / 10

HoooooooWeeeeeee! This shit packs a punch! If I didn’t know better I would think that this beer was brewed by Jameson instead of Crazy Mountain because of how boozy it is but it works better than baby powder on Aidy Bryants rolls so hats off to you. This beer has inspired me to rip off my pants and boxer briefs and sport a kilt because I have a hidden passion for wee heavies and this one just so happen to make me smile from the inside out. That sounded way weirder than I intended it to but I stand by it just like Hillary stood by Bill after having his “cigar” smoked by another woman. Now if you can, read this next part then close your eyes and imagine it to get the full experience and thank me later. Imagine putting on a swim cap and diving into a barrel of whiskey with your friends during the Olympics and winning gold for performing the most amazing synchronized swimming routine before a bottle of booze that looks like Evander Holyfield (1 ear and all) comes by and slugs you in the gut knocking you out of the barrel before landing on your ass in a pile of spongy moss and taking a little bite just to see how it tastes. After reading that back, I’m pretty sure that is the most accurate description I could give this beer so I’m sticking with it. If you love a nice glass of bourbon on the rocks make sure you pick up this brew because the boozy notes and scotch ale tastes are powerful yet balanced enough to have you polishing off this 10.5% ABV brew in one sitting. If you are new to the style, this is not the ideal starting point because this will bend you over and have it’s way with you with it’s strong taste but for you pros, grab it, love it, drink it, and tell your friends. Prost!

MOUNTAIN LIVIN'

Local’s Stash : Trigger-Chai Brown Ale (Crazy Mountain)

Brewery : Crazy Mountain Beer : Local’s Stash : Trigger-Chai Brown Ale Style : American Brown Ale / Brown Ale / Spiced Beer / Herbed Beer Variance : Brewed with Spices

8 / 10

Stupid, what the fuck do I know? I’m just a Trigger-chai n(word) with a nice flow and my bitch in that new Phoebe Philo. So much head I woke up in sleepy hollow. Another fitting tribute to a delicious beer by the most insane and talented but mostly insane person in the world, Kanye West. This is another great offering in Crazy Mountain’s “Local’s Stash” series and even though I’ve never actually had chai before so I can’t really gauge how accurate the flavor and spice is, what I can tell you is that this beer is deliciously different. When it comes to brown ales, this is about as far from the norm as it gets starting with a nice mix of vanilla and nutmeg with a mild cinnamon flavor mixing in with some slightly roasty flavors before all mixing and mellowing at the end. If you really want to expand your horizons and try something that really stands out on a crowded shelf, pick up this beer if it’s available because it really will give your taste buds a swift kick in the ass. If you are new to the scene, dive right in with this one as long as you are a fan of the spices in the brew. As for you pros, snag a bottle and blow your mind because I really think you’ll enjoy this one.

Local’s Stash : Double India Red Ale (Crazy Mountain)

Brewery : Crazy Mountain Beer : Local’s Stash : Double India Red Ale Style : Red Ale / Imperial Red Ale / Double Red Ale / Imperial IPA / Double IPA / DIPA Variance : None 8.5 / 10

Ugh, another beer without a creative name! Why must you make it harder for me to review your delicious beer Crazy Mountain?! I thought we were friends! I feel like we’re on one of those crazy fucking Real Housewives of Whateverbullshitcity shows and we are in a fight because you aren’t giving me anything to work with here! Either way, this is a great brew that really doesn’t need a clever name to add to the flavor because it already kicks a whole lot of ass. A nice mix of floral hop and malt sweetness start this off with some bitter notes joining in towards the middle before a slight alcohol flavor mixes with the hops and malt to wrap things up. For a brewery named after Amanda Bynes’ mountain, this beer is anything but crazy because it’s flavor is well thought out and artfully crafted. If you have ever doubted how bold a red ale can taste or how far you can push the style, taste this brew because it knows what the fuck is up. This beer is a must drink for the bastard drinking club members due to it’s huge flavor and deliciousness and if you disagree I’ll just have to get together my own Suicide Squad consisting of Kurt Cobain, Marilyn Monroe, Jonathan Brandis, Gia Allemand, and Robin Williams to kick your ass until you agree with me. As for the new drinking class just starting off, this is not the best beer to embark on your drinking quest with but eventually you’ll be ready. Cheers!
