Short's Soft Parade. You've had it. Bitches love that shit. Unfortunately, however, they have no idea what they're drinking. They just "want something fruity that isn't really like a beer.". Au contraire, mon cheri, it's still very much a beer you're drinking. In fact, it's a rye beer so it's even more beer than you realize. Included in that rye wort is 200 pounds of pureed strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. On paper this is very much a beer but once it's in your face hole it feels more like a wine. At 7.5% abv this is still a kick in the groin region (that's right ladies, it's no longer 9%). Not the best fruit beer you could come across, especially if you live in the Mitten (the only place Short's distributes their beer to), but it sure is good. Guy's it's okay to order this beer too. Don't worry, you won't ever see your bartender roll his eyes at you. Cheers!
It's like a super beer. Three styles in one. Dogfish Head's India brown ale is a Scotch ale, an IPA and an American Brown ale all in one. The balance on this beer is ridiculous and because Dogfish doesn't like to brew weak beers, this one is up there at 7.2% abv but drinks like a 5%, due to organic brown sugar. Dry hopped to give the nose a huge punch of hops much like the 60 and 90 minute IPA's they make. Sweet like molasses, chocolatey-coffee type flavors and great hop profiles in the middle range of about 50 IBU. This beer is one of my favorites and it can be yours too. Pair with smoked meats, braised meats and I guess most barbeque. Because it's that time of year anyway, stick this in your throat hole and thank me later. Cheers!
