time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

TV party rye ipa

 

Red Chair by Deschutes

 

Nope.

Another hint: named for a New Zealand hop.

 

Nelson rye IPA

(Also, I appreciate the picture hint for this! )

 

Close enough. I was hoping for the brewery to be named but I'm starting to think that this brewery is less widely known than I thought!

Alpine Brewing Nelson IPA

 

Dang I thought it was Illinois, cause springfield and all that.

 

Cool. I have heard mention of this brewery, actually, but I've never seen their beers around here.

Anyway, here's the next one. I want style and two adjuncts. First hint: this one can be cellared.

EDIT: Crap, uploaded this from my phone, sorry for the sideways picture...

 

Bourbon barrel quad with cherries

Bourbon barrel barelywine with dates

 

This is getting pretty close. I will tell you that oak (maybe not specifically a bourbon barrel, but whatever) is one of the two adjuncts. I will also not be a jerk and force a distinction between barleywine and old ale, which is what this beer is marketed as. For a really interesting and detailed take on these two difficult-to-distinguish styles, by the way, you might like to read this article.

Anyway, all that leads us this far: this is an oak-aged old ale.

We're still missing one adjunct!

EDIT: I know it was a simple typo, but I LOVE that you called this a "barelywine"

 

Well, technically it's been a couple days, and although no one has made any guesses in that time, I'll add another hint. The second adjunct is not a fruit. Any guesses?

 

Oak age old ale with vanilla?

 

Nope. We're so close, though!

 

Barrel-aged old ale with cacao.

 

No sir. The second adjunct is something sweet. (Well, at least it is sweet on its own. Fermentation obviously has something to say about it.)

 

Old ale with honey

 

oaked old ale aged with molasses? Old Curmudgeon?

 

That's it!

 

I'll post one tonight when i get off.

 

Alright next one. This is a HB. 2 adjuncts

 

Orange Brett saison

 

Lambic? (Sorry, no guess at the adjuncts for the moment)

 

Trip got the style but no on the adjuncts

 

Lemon basil saison

 

Honey lime saison

 

No one has close yet. Ill give a hint tomorrow. Think outside the box

 

Nelson saison with ginger

 

Jalapeno cucumber saison

 

damn i thought it'll last a little longer. Guess you saw a post of mine haha


you are up!

 

Elementary!

 

Next one:

Style plus three adjuncts, but I'll accept two adjuncts because two of them are in the same umbrella. If you name the specific beer you win a special cookie.

 

Burton Baton? Imperial oak aged IPA

 

Hint: all adjuncts are fruits

 

New Glarus Serendipity? Cherries, cranberries, apples?

 

Nope.

 

Hint: Style is American.

 

Lemon/lime/ cherry saison?

 

Lemon and lime are in the right botanical family for all the adjuncts, but it's neither lemon nor lime.

Saison is not close.

 

Ummmm...orange tangerine grapefruit cream ale?

 

Orange is correct (two adjuncts are varieties of orange, hence why I would accept two adjuncts)
Grapefruit is correct
Cream ale is not correct.

At this point anyone who has had this beer knows the exact answer, but since it's been several days I don't mind giving it away.

Additional hint: California brewery. Their location is across from an airport and they're named accordingly. If that doesn't give it away, I don't know what will... I just want to have the next one up so I can start sleuthing again!
