Craft Beer--Beer Events Calendar--Information
Hoppy’s second brewery visit in Anchorage was at the Glacier Brewhouse. They began brewing in 1996 and all of their brews are brewed in house. Hoppy drank a flight of five different IPAs. These were as follows: Cask Conditioned IPA 6.35% ABV, 60 IBU; India Pale Ale 6.35% ABV, 55 IBU; Red Rye IPA 7.14% ABV, 65 IBU; Blackberry IPA 7.38% ABV, 58 IBU and Tangerine IPA 4.4% ABV 40 IBU.
Hoppy is off on another beer adventure! This time it includes Anchorage, Alaska and Tacoma, Washington. The first stop in Anchorage was at Broken Tooth Brewing at Moose’s Tooth Pub and Pizzeria. The brewery was originally named Moose’s Tooth, as well, but the name was changed for business purposes. The pizzeria was ranked as the third best pizzeria in the United States in 2015. (The entity also operates Bear Tooth Theartrepub and Bear Tooth Grill in Anchorage.) Broken Tooth, Moose’s Tooth and Bear Tooth are all peaks in the Denali National Park of the Alaska Range. Hoppy quaffed a YellowEye P.A. (an IPA) with a 7.8% ABV and 74 IBU.
After missing Hogfest earlier this summer, due to the high heat and humidity, Hoppy ventured out to Hog Molly in Columbus, IN yesterday to knock back a cool one! In this case it was a Hog Molly 2-A-Days Session Lemon IPA clocking in at 4.3% ABV with 45 IBU. He also sampled their Hog Molly IPA at 7.2% ABV and 78 IBU, as well as their Double Tight Double IPA hovering at 8.9% ABV and 100+ IBU. If you haven’t already guessed it, much of the Hog Molly vibe is related to football. They also have a good sense of humor, as evidenced by their signs. Pictures of the taproom follow.
Hoppy visited Primeval Brewing in Noblesville on Saturday. While there, he imbibed a Maxwell International IPA clocking in at 6.4% ABV, 81 IBU. It is named after the Maxwell Motorcars dealership that opened in their taproom space in 1912. Maxwell can be seen painted on the old brick wall in the bar area, which adds to the history of the brewpub. Photos follow.
On Friday afternoon Hoppy made a quick stop at Books & Brews to quaff a Rad Brewing Half Cycle IPA at 6% ABV, 72 IBU and sample a Books & Brews, A Barrel to Arms Bourbon Barrel Aged Scotch Ale at 8.8% ABV, 32 IBU. He was happy to see his sticker on their sticker wall!
I visited Goodwood Brewing’s recently opened location in Indianapolis last Thursday where I enjoyed dinner and a flight of their beers. The ales that I sampled were Bourbon Barrel Ale, a dark ale at 6% ABV, 33 IBU; Bourbon Barrel Stout, a double stout at 8% ABV, 33 IBU; Goodwood IPA at 6.9% ABV, 67 IBU; and Ales for ALS IPA at 6% ABV, 40 IBU.
Should the location look familiar, it is the former location of The Ram. Pictures follow.
