Founders Brewing Company – Mas Agave – A Tequila Barrel Aged Imperial Gose

Mas Agave is Founders Brewing’s Newest release in the Barrel Aged Series for 2019. As the third release of this year’s Barrel Aged Series, Mas Agave is a Tequila Barrel Aged Imperial Gose brewed with Agave, and it’s weighing in at a paltry 10% ABV. You might be saying, 10% for a beer in the barrel aged series?! But I can guarantee this is going to pack a punch. Did the tequila make me do it? Watch and find out!

Midland Brewing Company – Brut IPA

Midland Brut IPA is the latest Brut IPA out of the Midland Brewing Company in Midland, Michigan.  Midland Brut IPA is a 4.6% ABV Brut, and I think this is the first real sessionable Brut that I’ve had to date.  That session ale quality ads to the intrigue for me, because I always wonder if something with such a low ABV can have enough taste to satisfy most beer drinkers.  Today I put that to the test!

Short’s Brewing – Barney Blood Milkshake IPA

Barney Blood is a 7.2% Milkshake IPA brewed with strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, lactose and vanilla beans from our friends at Short’s Brewery in Bellaire, Michigan. Initially released last summer, it was a very limited release only sold out of Short’s Mart, but now it’s hit store shelves state wide. Lactose is really what should set this beer apart as a Milkshake IPA rather than a New England style IPA. I love you, you love me, but is barney blood worth your money? Watch this to get the straight fossilized poop.
