Oh yes! We got some Crusher by The Alchemist!
Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Flutes
Notes:The Crusher is an American Double IPA that I started making years ago at the old pub. Hop heads were constantly asking for more hops. So, in the words of Frank Zappa, “Did you say you want some more? Well here’s some more.” While I enjoy hops with the rest of them, I still try to maintain some semblance of balance and drinkability. This beer is oozing with hop flavor and aroma with a very dry finish. Enjoy responsibly, this one can sneak up on you. (9%)

Our very first Tree House review! Shaun got his hands on some of their Very Green Double IPA!
Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Teku Glasses
Notes: This Double IPA is created with a massive kettle charge of Australian and American hops. It opens in the glass with huge notes of ripe pineapple, pithy citrus, and dank saturated hops. As it warms it shows its depth and complexity. . . Sweet hints of malt intermingle with straight Tropicana. It has a soft but pointed bitterness and a rich, velvety mouth feel. We love it! (8.2%)
