WHET YOUR WHISTLE:    

January's featured beers...

Last Chance IPA

Weyerbacher Brewing Co | American IPA |

Easton, PA | 5.9%

 

This is a west coast-style, full-flavored hop assault delightfully lacking in balance.  The combination of hops produce strong aromas of grapefruit, pine and citrus.  And it's named - "Last Chance" - for a good cause: Animal Rescue.  Weyerbacher donates a portion of the proceeds from this brew to small, regional animal rescue operations.      

 

Pretty in Pink

Bluejacket, Lost Rhino Brewing Company & Hardywood Park Craft Brewery | Saison | Local collaboration, DC & VA | 5.8%

 

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, four women from different breweries came together to craft a beer for hope. Using the finest malts, two strains of hops, and Ardennes ale yeast, they produced a brisk and delicious saison. The addition of hibiscus and pomegranate further layered it with a slight tartness, hints of spice and a pinkish glow.    

 

Duck-Rabbit Baltic Porter

Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery | Baltic Porter |

Farmville, NC | 9.0% 

 

This porter is deep, rich and velvety soft. Its full-blooded, roasty character is balanced by complex alcohol notes. Strong yet unfailingly subtle, this special brew warrants sipping and savoring.
