    You guys are so good. Really you did get the hint. But you did not get the brewery or beer.

    Hint the name of the brewery also contains one.

    Welp, I had staked a lot on that wild guess.

    BA also says there is a Predator by Wolverine State Brewing. That doesn't look quite like a doppelbock though.

    If we were playing charades..

    First, I would make a peace sign.

    Some stuff would happen (maybe a later hint). Once I made the peace sign again, I would tap three fingers against my arm.

    Then I would tap one finger against my arm, and make kind of a baseball swing motion. Except I would do it lower, and at the end of the motion I would pull the imaginary bat towards me.

    Peace sign in the air. Peace sign on my upper arm.

    Sip from a big imaginary mug, then I put it back on the imaginary counter.

    (still playing charades)

    These charades hints are kind of silly. Let's just say this instead:

    You correctly interpreted the hint about the animals. All of those animals are apex predators. But, I don't know if this beer is named after predators or not.

    Well, could it be as simple as Bear Republic Apex?

    It could be and it is! Bear Republic Apex Special IPA.

    My hints were awful, sorry about that! Reap Pub Lick is where I was going with the charades hints. Didn't really think it through all the way.

    You're up JordanKnudson

    Cool! Well, I was just at Lakefront brewery today, but I didn't bother to take a pic of any of my beers, because I didn't think I was going to have another turn so soon!

    I'll give up my turn to drainbamage, since he was on point straight away with the Apex Predator guess.

    I can put something up later this afternoon, or it can be up for grabs if someone has a pic ready right now.

    I'll guess Bell's Brett Berliner Weisse, although I'm not sure what its availability is.

    I guess I'm up again. I'm realizing that a lot of my Untappd pictures are rather blurry.
    But, here we go. Another beer and brewery...

    I suppose I'll guess the most obvious one. Did you crack a bottle of Dark Lord?

    I wish... I've had Dark Lord, but this 3F beer is a bit easier to acquire.

    Is it a stout? I feel like the picture looks way dark, but maybe it's deceptive. Robert the Bruce?

    WxBrewer  

    Posted Jan 20, 2015
    Yeah, I probably should have noted that it was a bit dark, but Bob the Brieuse it is! I always wondered why they called this Robert the Bruce. The coining of the actual name "Bruce" is attributed to Robert the Bruce where Brieuse refers to a place in France. Not really Scottish. ... anyway...

    You're up Jordan!

    Nice! Well, I don't have one and I won't be able to drink a beer tonight, so I'm going to give it to jjw5015 for getting the brewery.
