Newcomers

Happy New Year! Eleven of us started out 2018 by tasting seven beers from Newcomer Breweries who have existed for five years or less! For being baby breweries every beer we tasted packed a lot of flavor. Chipotle browns, minty gruits. and caramel ales- the young brewers came out swinging in hopes of claiming a space in the crowded craft beer market.
Tonight mine and Derek’s coffee beer from the wonderful Badger State Brewing, Buzzy Badger, took the win to much praise for its well-balanced coffee flavor. It was as if we were drinking freshly brewed iced coffee!

What We Tasted:

Tiny Bomb	Wiseacre
Single Source Coffee Lager	Old Bakery
Buzzy Badger	Badger State Brewing
Porter	Old Bakery
Krampus Gruit	Earthbound
Tractor Fire	Bur Oak
Clyde’s	Bur Oak

Next week we will flip flop over to celebrating the Old Pros who have been brewing and honing their craft for over twenty years.
