Cheers to Chauncey at AllThingsBeer510 for sending this beer over!
Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: 16oz Snifters
Notes: Big, sticky, juicy, and hazy; this Double IPA drinks like a cloud of pineapple that rains its juicy perfection down onto your fortunate taste buds with a satisfying reprieve. The mild malt character lends a hint of sweetness to the abundance of Galaxy hops, making the tropical hop punch stick to your lips ever so slightly. (9.3%)

We love us some Narwhal but this sort of left us feeling NAHwhal.
Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 750ml
Glassware:Snifter
Notes:We aged this rich, chocolate imperial stout in bourbon barrels with a mix of both red and black currants for a pop of sweet and tart flavor. The deep, roasty notes of the stout blend well with the berries and barrels to create complex flavors of cocoa and coconut with a mellow fruit undertone(9.8%)
Rating: 3.75/5
The local boys, Night Shift, went to NYC and brewed up a collab with Interboro! We got our hands on it!

Glassware: Nerdsense Snifters
Notes: Malt bill heavy on wheat and oats, hopped with Mosaic and Simcoe, with copious mango chunks added prior to the first of two dry hops of Mosaic Pellets and Mosaic Lupulin dust. Fermented with house yeast (9%)
Rating: 4.5/5
Shaun’s flying solo so that means all the coffee beers!!!
Style: Imperial Stout
Container: 750mL
Glassware: The Streets Glass
Notes: Night & Day is seductive with aromatics of roasted dark malt, espresso, caramel, cocoa powder, dark fruit, charred toast, and subtle sweet vanilla. At a soul-warming ABV of 11.5%, this bold, imperial stout drinks velvety smooth with mellow bitterness, silky carbonation, and balanced flavors of dark roast coffee, chocolate, figs, affogato and black cherry.. (11.5%)
Freshies here! Freshies! Get yah freshies! This is Idle Hand’s latest (well as of posting they released #11) rotating ipa!
Style: IPA

Zebulon!! The name just rings in my head!
Style: DIPA
Container: 750mL
Glassware: 8oz Flute
Notes: A smokey, black ale aged with whole coffee beans. Our grain bill starts with over 60% smoked malt, flaked barley for mouthfeel and brown and black malts for a complex roast character. The coffee from Mountain Air Roasters compliments the malt flavor but doesn’t overwhelm the beer. (7.2%)
Rating: 4.5/5
