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

[drainbamage]

No and no.

Focal Banger?

Focal Banger isn't available anywhere except for on-premise consumption at restaurants and bars at this point, as far as I know. They're currently building a separate brewery in Stowe that will be dedicated to brewing Focal Banger, so it will eventually be available in 4-packs from what I understand. It's such an awesome beer..

My guess is Otter Creek Backseat Berner

Space Juice by Long Trail?

You've got the brewery, but not the beer.

Limbo ipa!

Limbo ipa!

You got it! There must be something about Vermont...they know how to make a good IPA.

I agree. I definitely enjoyed all of the IPAs I had on my trip out there in September. Didn't get to try the Limbo, though.

Luckily, I have a pic on my phone for an occasion such as this so we can continue the game RIGHT NOW! Beer and brewery please:

 

[BrewerBrad82]

Is it from the Midwest?

 

[hanuswalrus]

It most certainly is

 

[BrewerBrad82]

Is it quite hop-forward?

 

[hanuswalrus]

Is it quite hop-forward?

Yes, quite

 

[BrewerBrad82]

Is is Surly Furious?

 

[TooDogly]

Founders - Centennial IPA

 

[hanuswalrus]

Nope, neither of those. This one is a bit more obscure (nowhere near as widely-available as those 2)

 

[BrewerBrad82]

Pipeworks - Blood of the Unicorn?

 

[drainbamage]

Revolution Unsessionable

 

[ThatVideoKid]

From IL?

 

[hanuswalrus]

Not Unsessionable.. yes, from IL

 

[hanuswalrus]

Pipeworks - Blood of the Unicorn?

You got the brewery...

 

[BrewerBrad82]

Pipeworks Sam vs. Unicorn

 

[hanuswalrus]

Not that one.. I can see how this may be difficult considering Pipeworks heavily hops about 90% (or more) of their beers.. If I get 1 or 2 more incorrect guesses, I'll drop a hint.

 

[drainbamage]

Sure Bet

 

[BrewerBaj]

Pipeworks Lizard King

 

[hanuswalrus]

Neither of those. This beer is one in a series of DIPA's.. consumed fairly recently and very fresh..

 

[BrewerBrad82]

Is it a single hop DIPA?

 

[MarshmallowBlue]

Crimson Snapper

 

[hanuswalrus]

The label suggests it is.. but according to their website, the beers in this series all contain multiple varieties of hops, but the hop on the label is the pre-dominant one (the one expressing the majority of the flavor/aroma). However, there is no list of hops on their website for this particular one, so this beer might be 100% hopped w/ this hop (which happens to be the name of the beer as well)

 

[BrewerBrad82]

Pipeworks Mandarina

 

[hanuswalrus]

Not Mandarina
