Deschutes Brewery announced the return of Humm Zinger last week, its kombucha radler brewed in collaboration with Humm Kombucha, and yesterday two cans arrived at the house. I expect this to be a repeat of last year, in which I wrote: Overall, Humm Zinger drinks much more like a traditional … Continue reading
The latest limited-release cider from Corvallis’ 2 Towns Ciderhouse arrived yesterday: Camp Clementine. It’s billed as a “summer session cider” and made with California clementines and Maracuyá passionfruit (along with apples, of course). Always fun and interesting things coming out of 2 Towns, I’ll report on this when I try … Continue reading
The latest cider to arrive at the house last week: Double Mountain Brewery‘s new Red Fleshed Rosé, a cider made from Red-Fleshed Mountain Rose and Pink Pearl apples that is 5.9% ABV. These varieties of apple are pink inside, rather than white, which gives them an interesting look. The brewery … Continue reading
Arrived today, the latest bottled beers from Deschutes Brewery: Botanic Ale and Twilight Summer Ale. Botanic Ale is part of the brewery’s Just Tapped series, and is one that has been variously available on draft for a number of years. Originally inspired by Beers Made By Walking, it’s brewed with … Continue reading
It’s rare that I receive beers or beer-related items without prior notice, but this week is one of those times. Appalachian Mountain Brewery, which I don’t believe I’d heard of before, sent me cans of two of its IPAs: Not an IPA (P.S. it’s an IPA) and Not-A-Double DIPA. They … Continue reading
Last week was all about beer samples, it seems, as I received two more in addition to the three others I posted about. North Coast Brewing sent along its Tart Cherry Berliner Weisse, and Monkless Belgian Ales gave me a can of its new Curtain Closer. The Tart Cherry has … Continue reading
In addition to the Worthy beers I received this week, I’d also received two different fruited ciders from 2 Towns Ciderhouse and Portland Cider Company: Two Thorns and Pineapple Rosé, respectively. Raspberries and rose petals, and pineapple and blueberries. Definitely some interesting things in the fridge.
Worthy Brewing sent me a package containing all five of its newly-rebranded canned beers, all of which are the company’s year-round lineup (which includes two new beers). Seeing the cans in person, I have to say they are really nice with a strong design—it helps that they are printed, and … Continue reading
Corvallis’ 2 Towns Ciderhouse is releasing Easy Squeezy year round, a raspberry lemonade inspired cider that appeared last year as a summer seasonal under the name Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy. As part of that rollout, the cidery sent me two bottles to sample. Interestingly, last year’s version was soured with … Continue reading
A bottle from Double Mountain Brewery arrived this week, containing its seasonal Juicy, Clearly Not Hazy IPA, a 5.9% ABV and 25 IBU ale. Here’s the blurb from the press release: Double Mountain Brewery & Taproom is releasing the newest addition to our seasonal lineup. This is a Juicy IPA, … Continue reading
