Texas Ale Project
100 Million Angels Singing Double IPA
If you ever see anything from Texas Ale Project (TAP) on store shelves, you shouldn't ask logical questions like 'is this my kind of beer?' or 'do I have enough money in my checking account since I don't get paid until Friday?' or 'is this going to be good in the 180 degree heat index of my car while I make 6 more stops between here and the house?' or 'why do you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?' (exception: Dallas, where everyone is always parked on driveways, tollways, freeways, parkways, etc). The questions you need to ask are 'how much do they have?', 'can it all fit in my car?', and 'can those other six stops wait until I at least get home and put this all in the beer fridge?'. And then buy a metric ton of it. Or a 4-pack if you have a Smarte car. And then get home and find that the hops are perfectly integrated. Pine, citrus, perfectly balanced. Now there's a third thing to like about Dallas. 100 million angels singing indeed. Well done TAP! — 7 years ago
The Manhattan Project Beer Company
Half Life Texas Tallboy
This is Cobra Dawn of the Dank. Last of the four and I hate to admit is the winner over the Dogfish! Poured a hazy DANK amber color into the glass. Nose of citrus and melon, almost kind of smelled like a torqued up Hefeweizen. Great hop structure. Finished really well. Almost as well as a Stone beer. But not quite! LOL, this was still a ridiculously good beer. Great way to start the weekend! — 9 years ago
Physica Wines
Gnome Whole Cluster Riesling 2022
Spontaneous fermentation skin contact Riesling made by Grimm Brewery's wine project, with Long Island grapes. And leave it to Grimm to make a wine in the same spirit of their sour ales - tart and funky with a slight salty aftertaste, almost tastes like a beer or cider. — 3 years ago
Soquel Fermentation Project
Golden Sour A With Apricot
Golden sour A. Aged with apricots. Best beer of the 12 pack so far. Just outstanding wild grassy flavors with subtle ripe apricot mixed with tart skins. Hugely floral with lemongrass. — 5 years ago

Wild American #5 With Raspberry Wild Ale
The crunchiness of the raspberry fruit in this beer is amazing. @Delectable Wine this is the new Wild Ale #5 rather than #4. — 6 years ago

LIC Beer Project
Kingsguard DDH New England Style IPA
This Kingsguard from LIC Beer Project is a DDH New England Style IPA. Rich fruit that gives way to a distinctly bitter finish. Good but not as smooth as some of its peers.

Other Half Brewing Co.
Oh... Double Dry Hopped India Pale Ale
The Other Half's Oh... Double IPA is extraordinary. Perfect almost Zen like balance, rich and juicy yet not at all heavy - the 6% alcohol content is exactly right in my view. From the brewery's website: "Double dry hopped IPA w / citra, galaxy, motueka + citra lupulin powder". Not quite the ideal of water, hops, barley and yeast, but it works so very well. Here's some context: The Other Half is a brewery in Red Hook, Brooklyn that is, in my opinion, making the best beers in the New England (juicy) IPA style. This type of beer has become popular recently and rightly as done well they are both complex and approachable. Recently The Other Half took over a bar in Manhattan serving a range of their beers. The place was packed. The Other Half is so hot right now. And rightly. If you do visit the brewery, plan on doing so early in the evening if you are intending on buying cans. They sell out fast. — 8 years ago

A Sour Beer Co.
The Rare Barrel Manhattan Fashioned 2018
Fascinating beverage. Very sour. I was worried that after 2 years in the bottle it may be sweet, but not the case. Definite Manhattan flavors. Hint of citrus. With a ton of sour cherry and Brett. It was enjoyable but not as good as the “cocktail” beers I’ve had from pipeworks in Chicago. — 6 years ago

@delectable this is Pulling Nails Blend #15...
“I pulled the notes from Pulling Nails #8 to mimic the fruiting addition exactly - the ratio of raspberries to cherries. Then we blended up what could be the best foundation for these fruits and their refermentation by using the base for the blend #8 as a guide.
Where blend #8 used a portion of spontaneous beer back-blended with a 1-year-old saison, blend #15 uses a base of our lambic-inspired beer (quick turbid mash, funkiest of our cultures, expresses itself somewhere between Coexpressionalism and our old spontaneous beers) blended with Oude Fermier and a Brett-forward saison for some additional Brett spice and classical "funk." The blend was refermented on raspberries and cherries for less than 2 months (just like blend #8 yet unlike any other Side Project beer ever) and then allowed to bottle condition since early May.” - Cory King. — 3 years ago
