Mastering Craft Beer: The Art of Tasting Beer Like a Pro

How to Describe Beer Like a Pro

The craft beer scene has exploded into a vibrant landscape, offering an astounding variety of flavors. From the bold bitterness of West Coast IPAs to the tropical and citrusy explosion of Hazy IPAs, the choices are spectacular.

However, with such a wide array of options, it’s crucial to know how to describe beer effectively. This skill not only enhances your personal enjoyment but also enriches your conversations with fellow beer lovers. Being adept at articulating the nuances of your pint allows you to share experiences, recommendations, and critiques more effectively.

So, grab a beer, and let’s embark on this flavorful adventure, one sip at a time!

Key Takeaways

• Identifying and articulating a beer’s appearance, aroma, mouthfeel, and taste is fundamental to understanding its complexity.
• Relating beer flavors and aromas to familiar experiences can significantly expand your beer-tasting vocabulary.

The Basics of Beer Tasting

Beer tasting is a journey where every detail counts. Before the beer even touches your lips, the adventure begins with its appearance and aroma. Understanding these elements is key to appreciating the craft beer in front of you.

Appearance

Appearance is where the story starts. A beer’s appearance can reveal much about its style and quality. From the thick white head of a freshly poured pilsner to the dense, almost opaque darkness of a stout, each visual cue hints at the flavors waiting to be discovered.

Aroma

Aroma takes the experience deeper. Before taking a sip, a deep inhale can uncover layers of beer vocabulary, from the citrusy punch of American hops to the subtle, banana-like sweetness suggested by certain yeasts.

Mouthfeel

Mouthfeel is about how the beer feels in your mouth, a precursor to taste that shouldn’t be overlooked. It ranges from the light carbonation and crispness of a classic lager to the velvety, creamy texture of a stout with low carbonation.

Describing Beer Like a Brewer

A craft brewer looking at and tasting his beer.

For those looking to refine their beer description skills, the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) guidelines offer a structured and comprehensive approach. It’s a globally recognized program that sets the standard for evaluating and describing beer, helping both brewers and enthusiasts articulate the complexities of their brews with precision and clarity.

Appearance

The BJCP emphasizes visual evaluation. Note the beer’s color, the behavior and quality of its head, and its clarity. These visual cues are the first hints of the beer’s style and craftsmanship.

Aroma

Shift focus to the symphony of scents. Identify the source of aromas—be it the malt, hops, or the unique characters introduced by fermentation. Pinpointing these scents is akin to deciphering the beer’s DNA.

Mouthfeel

The texture, or mouthfeel, examines the beer’s body and carbonation level, detecting nuances from creamy to astringent textures. This analysis lays the groundwork for taste exploration.

Overall Impression

Finally, assess the beer’s balance and harmony. Reflect on how the elements interplay, crafting a memorable or sometimes challenging drinking experience.

Flavor and Aroma Descriptors

When you enter the beer world, your senses embark on an adventure through a kaleidoscope of flavors and aromas. Understanding how to describe beer—its taste, smell, and the lingering notes it leaves behind—can transform a simple drink into an immersive experience.

Describing Malt Flavors

Malts provide the foundation of beer’s flavor profile. From the light, crisp sweetness of a pilsner to the deep, rich complexity of darker beers, describing malt flavors starts with recognizing a range of descriptors:

• Biscuity/Bready: Think of freshly baked bread or the crisp, toasted edges of a biscuit.
• Caramelly: Captures the sweet, rich essence of caramel, from light burnt cream to deep molasses.
• Toffee-like: Offers a buttery, sweet complexity reminiscent of toffee candy.
• Roasted Malts: Evoke coffee and dark chocolate, with a range from mild to intense bitterness.

Describing Hop Flavors

Hops

Hops infuse beer with aromas and flavors, balancing the sweetness of the malt:

• Citrusy: Notes of lemon, orange, or grapefruit.
• Spicy: Warmth and kick of spices like black pepper or clove.
• Floral: Delicate aromas similar to a blooming garden.
• Piney/Resinous: Fresh scent of pine needles or aromatic resin.
• Earthy: Aromas reminiscent of a newly mown lawn or rich forest floor.

Fermentation: The Wildcard of Flavors

Fermentation introduces unique flavors thanks to yeast:

• Fresh-baked Bread: Highlights yeast’s fundamental role.
• Fruity Esters: Flavors like apple, pear, and banana.
• Spicy Phenols: Clove-like warmth or peppery zest.
• Wild Yeast Characters: Flavors like barnyard or horse blanket, indicative of wild or sour beers.
• Warm Ethanol: The sensation of alcohol warmth, often found in stronger beers.

Conditioning and Body in Beer Descriptors

Understanding conditioning and body is key to appreciating beer’s overall profile.

Conditioning

Conditioning, related to carbonation, imparts beer with its sparkle and fizz:

• Effervescent: Lively and vibrant carbonation.
• Soft: Gentle carbonation smoothing out the drinking experience.
• Prickly: Sharp carbonation enhancing bitterness and aroma.
• Flat: Minimal to no carbonation, often a flaw unless stylistically appropriate.

Body

The body of a beer refers to its weight and fullness on the palate:

• Light: Easy and refreshing, often highly drinkable.
• Medium: Balanced and more substantial.
• Full: Rich and dense, carrying intense flavors.
• Watery: Lacking in substance and depth.

Sensory Exercises for Enhancing Beer Descriptions

Home brewing is a wonderful way to broaden your beer tasting knowledge.

Mastering beer description is a skill that improves with practice and exposure.

Broaden Your Beer Horizons

Taste a wide array of beers to enhance your descriptive skills. Explore new styles beyond your go-to favorites.

Focus Tastings

Organize tastings focused on a single aspect of beer, such as hop flavor or malt complexity.

Compare and Contrast

Select two beers that differ in one key aspect and taste them side by side.

Keep a Beer Journal

Document your tasting experiences, noting flavors, aromas, carbonation, and body. This record will become a valuable resource over time.

This practice not only sharpens your descriptive abilities but also fosters a deeper connection with the beers you enjoy. Keeping a beer journal, participating in focus tastings, and comparing different brews side by side are practical steps that can significantly enhance your tasting skills and broaden your appreciation for the craft.

As you continue your exploration, remember that the journey of beer tasting is ever-evolving. There’s always something new to discover, whether it’s a rare hop variety, an innovative brewing technique, or a unique flavor profile. Embrace this adventure with an open mind and a keen palate, and let each beer you encounter deepen your passion for the craft. Cheers to your ongoing journey in the vibrant world of craft beer!

Just like Star Wars – which we cover every year with our May the Fourth articles (May the Fourth 2022 and May the Fourth 2023), this article is going to take a look at Zelda and Craft Beers designed to celebrate the Legacy of Zelda.

There is certainly no shortage of craft beers that illustrate the influence Zelda and the franchise has had on the brewers, creators, and owners of breweries. So let’s celebrate Zelda!

Zelda and Craft Beer

Craft beer and video games might seem like two completely unrelated topics, but in recent years, many breweries have been releasing beers inspired by popular video games. One of the most popular franchises for video game-inspired beers is the Legend of Zelda series. Fans of the series can now enjoy a delicious brew while they embark on their next quest.

Deviate Brewing, based in Indianapolis, has created a beer that pays homage to one of the most iconic items in the Legend of Zelda series – Lon Lon Milk. Their Lon Lon Milk Stout is brewed with lactose and coffee beans, and it delivers a rich and creamy flavor that would satisfy any adventurer’s thirst.

Another popular Zelda-inspired beer is The Legend of Kolsch by Fifth Hammer Brewing. This light and refreshing German-style Kölsch features notes of honey and biscuit malt, with a crisp and clean finish. It’s the perfect brew to enjoy after a long day of dungeon crawling.

For those who prefer hoppy beers, Schilling Beer Co. has created an IPA that references a famous line from the original Legend of Zelda game – “It’s Dangerous to Go Alone”. Their It’s Dangerous to Go Alone IPA is brewed with Amarillo, Cascade, and Simcoe hops, giving it a bold and bitter flavor that is sure to satisfy any hophead.

Woodland Empire Ale Craft’s Majora’s Mango Wheat is a light and fruity wheat beer that is perfect for those hot summer days. Brewed with mango puree, it’s a delicious and refreshing beer that pays tribute to the Majora’s Mask game in the Zelda franchise.

Last but not least, Hop Butcher for the World has released a beer that is inspired by one of the most famous weapons in the Legend of Zelda series – the Master Sword. Their Master Sword IPA is brewed with Citra and Mosaic hops, delivering a hoppy and flavorful brew that would satisfy any beer enthusiast.

The popularity of video game-inspired beers has been on the rise in recent years, and it’s easy to see why. Not only do these beers offer a fun and unique way to pay tribute to beloved games, but they also provide a new way for breweries to get creative with their flavor profiles and brewing techniques.

One reason why the Legend of Zelda franchise is such a popular source of inspiration for brewers is the rich and immersive world that it creates. From the lush forests of Hyrule to the mysterious temples and dungeons, the Zelda games offer a wealth of ideas and themes for brewers to draw from.

In addition to the Lon Lon Milk Stout, Deviate Brewing has also released a beer called Cucco Attack. This hoppy and citrusy IPA is named after the infamous Cuccos (or chickens) in the Zelda games, which can quickly turn on players if they attack them too many times.

Fifth Hammer Brewing has also released another Zelda-inspired beer called Clock Town Lager. Named after the bustling town in Majora’s Mask, this light and refreshing lager features notes of biscuit and honey malt, with a crisp and clean finish.

Meanwhile, Black Bottle Brewery has created a beer that pays tribute to one of the most iconic characters in the Zelda series – Link. Their Link’s Liquid Courage is a barleywine-style beer that is aged in bourbon barrels, giving it a bold and complex flavor that is sure to impress.

Another brewery that has gotten in on the Zelda-inspired beer trend is Burial Beer Co. Their Skorn of Ganon is an imperial stout that is aged in bourbon barrels and features notes of dark chocolate and coffee. It’s a rich and decadent beer that is perfect for sipping on a cold winter’s night.

Overall, the Legend of Zelda franchise has inspired some truly fantastic craft beers that are sure to please both gamers and beer enthusiasts alike. Whether you’re a fan of stouts, IPAs, lagers, or barleywines, there’s a Zelda-inspired beer out there that is sure to satisfy your thirst. So grab a cold one, sit back, and prepare to embark on your next epic quest!

The Legend of Zelda Franchise

The following comes from Wikipedia, and provides a quick summary of The Legend of Zelda franchise:

The Legend of Zelda^[a] is an action-adventure game franchise created by the Japanese game designers Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka. It is primarily developed and published by Nintendo, although some portable installments and re-releases have been outsourced to Flagship, Vanpool, and Grezzo. The gameplay incorporates action-adventure and elements of action RPG games.

The series centers on the various incarnations of Link, a courageous young man of the elf-like Hylian race, and Princess Zelda, a magical princess who is the mortal reincarnation of the goddess Hylia, as they fight to save the magical land of Hyrule from Ganon, an evil warlord turned demon king, who is the principal antagonist of the series. Ganon wishes to use the Triforce, a sacred relic left behind by the three goddesses that created Hyrule, to remake the world in his own dark image. When gathered together, the power of the Triforce can grant any wish its user desires; however, if someone with a heart that does not possess a balance of the three virtues of Power, Courage, and Wisdom attempts to touch the Triforce, it will split into three triangles and bond with three people whose hearts embody the required virtue.

Although their personalities and backstory differ from game to game, the incarnations of Link and Zelda often have many traits in common, such as Link often being left-handed and clad in green, and Zelda being associated with wisdom, light, and prophesy. While the conflict with Ganon serves as a backbone for the series, some games have featured other settings and antagonists, with Link traveling or being sent to these other lands in their time of need.

Since the original Legend of Zelda was released in 1986, the series has expanded to include 19 entries on all of Nintendo’s major game consoles, as well as a number of spin-offs. An American animated TV series based on the games aired in 1989 and individual manga adaptations commissioned by Nintendo have been produced in Japan since 1997. The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo’s most successful franchises; several of its entries are considered among the greatest video games of all time.

The Legend of Zelda – Wikipedia

Not going to go into the full timeline or gameplay, or every little nook and cranny of the entire 20+ game series, but I think the above does a pretty good job at being a quick summary, and I think the following gives you a good jist of the story.

According to the in-game backstories, the world of Hyrule was created by the three golden goddesses: Din, Farore, and Nayru.^[28] Before departing, the goddesses left a sacred artifact called the Triforce, which could grant powers to the user. It physically manifests itself as three golden triangles in which each embodies one of the goddesses’ virtues: Power, Courage, and Wisdom.^[29] However, because the Triforce has no will of its own and it can not judge between good and evil, it will grant any wish indiscriminately.^[30][31] Because of this, it was placed within an alternate world called the “Sacred Realm” or the “Golden Land” until one worthy of its power and has balanced virtues of Power, Wisdom, and Courage in their heart could obtain it, in its entirety. If a person is not of a balanced heart, the triforce part that the user mostly believes in will stay with that person and the remainder will seek out others. In order to master and control the triforce as a whole, the user must get the other parts found in other individuals and bring them together to reunite them. The Sacred Realm can itself be affected by the heart of those who enters it: those who are pure will make it a paradise, while those who are evil will transform it into a dark realm.^[32]

In Skyward Sword, the Triforce was sought by the Demon King Demise,^[33] an eternal being that had conquered time itself.^[34] After a long battle against the goddess Hylia, guardian of the Triforce, Demise was sealed away within her temple.^[29][35] Hylia, placing the Hylians on a floating island (called Skyloft) in the sky to protect them, orchestrated a means to stop the demon from escaping: creating the Goddess Sword (later becoming the Master Sword) for her chosen hero^[36] and discarding her divinity to be reborn among the people of Skyloft.^[37] In time, Zelda and Link (the reborn Hylia and her predestined warrior) enacted the goddess’s plan and Demise was destroyed, but he vowed that his rage would be reborn and forever plague those descended from Link and Zelda.^[38] Following the establishment of Hyrule Kingdom, Demise’s prophecy came to fruition in Ocarina of Time, when Ganondorf’s attempt to get the Triforce scattered it with him gaining the Triforce of Power. The Triforce of Wisdom ended up with the Hylian princesses descended from Zelda, each named after her, while the Triforce of Courage is passed to a youth named Link across generations. While the Triforces of Power and Wisdom have been part of the series since the original The Legend of Zelda, it was only in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link that the Triforce of Courage was first introduced, being obtained by Link at the end of his quest. The Triforce, or even a piece of it, is not always distributed as a whole. Such as in The Wind Waker, Link must find all the pieces (called Triforce Shards) of the Triforce of Courage before he can return to Hyrule. Even in the original The Legend of Zelda, Zelda breaks her Triforce of Wisdom into 8 pieces for Link to find, before she was captured by Ganon.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Released for the Wii and GameCube in 2006, Twilight Princess was praised for its immersive world, engaging story, and darker tone.

I’ve been fiddling with this and trying to get it set up for a while, and now its finally here!

• The Beer Thrillers – Discord Server

Discord is a great way to stay in touch, chat, and keep talking in a more loose and informal manner. Its a fun way to talk about craft beer, breweries, and all kinds of other things.

At our server, you will find channels for the following:

So lots of fun channels to hang out in and talk with each other.

Of course there is some rules to the use of the Discord server. And most of these are the obvious type of ones.

• And most importantly – have fun!

There are lots of features on the Discord server, like uploading your own pictures, audio, video, and PDFs, as well as sharing internet GIFs and memes and links. This should be a great way for our community to grow, and have fun with each other.

When it comes to craft beer, there’s a world of flavor out there waiting to be discovered. From hoppy IPAs to malty stouts, each beer style has its own unique characteristics that make it a delight to savor. In this article, we’ll explore some of the most popular craft beer styles, along with their key attributes and what sets them apart.

IPA: The King of Hoppy Beers

India Pale Ales, or IPAs, have taken the craft beer scene by storm and have become a popular choice for beer enthusiasts around the world. Known for their distinct hoppy bitterness, IPAs are a complex and flavorful beer style that many have come to love. In this article, we’ll explore what makes IPAs so popular, the different sub-styles of IPAs, and why they’re the king of hoppy beers.

What Makes IPAs So Popular?

IPAs are popular for a reason – they’re bold and full of flavor. IPAs are brewed with a higher hop-to-malt ratio, giving them a more bitter taste and distinct hoppy aroma. The bitterness comes from the alpha acids found in hops, which also give IPAs a wide range of flavors such as pine, citrus, and floral notes. The bitterness of IPAs can also be balanced out with the use of different malts, which add sweetness and complexity to the beer.

Sub-Styles of IPAs

While all IPAs have a distinct hoppy bitterness, there are many sub-styles that have unique characteristics. Some of the most popular sub-styles of IPAs include:

• West Coast IPA: This sub-style is known for its intense hop flavor and aroma, with a strong malt backbone to balance out the bitterness.
• New England IPA: A hazy and juicy sub-style of IPA that is brewed with fruit-forward hops, giving it a tropical and citrusy flavor profile.
• Black IPA: A dark and hoppy sub-style of IPA that is brewed with dark roasted malts, giving it a roasted, coffee-like flavor.
• Double IPA: A stronger, more intense version of the IPA, with a higher alcohol content and a stronger hop profile.

Why IPAs are the King of Hoppy Beers

IPAs are considered the king of hoppy beers for several reasons. First, they offer a wide range of flavors and aromas, making them complex and interesting to drink. Second, they can be paired with a variety of foods, from spicy dishes to grilled meats. Third, they are versatile and can be brewed in many different sub-styles, giving beer enthusiasts a wide range of options to choose from. Lastly, IPAs are perfect for those who love bold, complex flavors and are looking for a beer with a lot of character.

Yes, its that time again! Fourth year running of us mentioning it. (We started the blog in late May of 2019, so we’ve only gotten to tackle May the Fourth in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 now.)

Its that day again. A nerd day of celebratory and galactic proportions. A day to jump on Nintendo Switch Online, on LEGO.com, on Star Wars.com and who knows how many other fan sites and branding sites to get tons of Star Wars related deals.

By now I’m sure you’ve seen it all over Facebook already, every brewery from near and far posting a picture of their workers in costume or a Star Wars movie still with a beer on the picture, usually with the branding of “May the Fourth Be With You” somewhere on the image.

I bet you are probably even within about a 20 mile radius of a brewery or bar doing “Star Wars trivia” tonight.

Its also a day here to celebrate Star Wars in general, and on The Beer Thrillers we are definitely doing that! We definitely love covering Star Wars here on The Beer Thrillers, and I think it shows with our sheer number of Star Wars themed beer reviews, Book of Boba Fett review, and even Star Wars book reviews. On our Facebook page you can find us often linking and sharing to various new beer releases by different (somewhat nearby for me) breweries that are Star Wars themed.

So with the idea of the fact that nearly every brewery is doing some kind of Star Wars themed day or releasing a Star Wars themed beer, I’m going to present a small list of near – ish to me places doing Star Wars beer released themed for this year’s May the Fourth Be With You. (I’m not going to run down a list of every place doing just Star Wars trivia, but the breweries that are at least doing a Star Wars themed beer release, or have a Star Wars themed beer on their menu. And of course, if I miss any, be sure to mention it in the comments section.)

May the Fourth Beer Releases

Yes, its that time of year when brewers take their beers they’ve made, and decide to give it a Star Wars themed pun and shoot it out on May 4th or nearby arounds to great critical acclaim (and for people like me, who love Star Wars, to grab up and drink up).

(This is also when the mulers come out in droves, charging you 80$ for two four packs that are being sold for 22$, and willing to ship. I have stretches of DMs from yesterday of Floridians telling me “its totally the acceptable price to sell 40$ for a 4 pack”, and even though S&H doesn’t go up if you ship 4 or if you ship 8, still charging 40$ per pack, so 80$ for 8 beers.

Yea, actually, don’t get me started about the insane DMs I got from mulers and re-flippers specifically from the Miami area, trying to get me J. Wakefield Beers of their Star Wars release. I even had one guy DM and tell me that 105$ for a mixed four pack [two of one beer, two of the other], is a very generous offer.)

(Various Facebook posts about Star Wars themed beer releases.)

Star Wars Day Beer Releases

There is a lot of Star Wars day beer releases for today, the biggest notable one is typically RAR Brewery. Who does a Star Wars themed Out of Order beer release every year. This year they are releasing five Out of Order Star Wars themed beers.

RAR Brewing – Out of Order Star Wars

The RAR Brewing Company Out of Order series is one of their most notable series, and they typically do thematic four, five, six pack releases.

(For the full article click here: RAR Star Wars Day Drop)

This year is a five – pack (not a typical four pack or six pack) that contains two old favorites as well as three new ones; also a new glass and a new ‘mood mat’.

Second Sin Brewing Company – Obi Wan Jabroni

In probably my favorite mash up; Second Sin Brewing Company (Bristol, PA) is releasing Obi Wan Jabroni. A mash up of The Rock and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Crooked Crab Brewing Company – Crabdalorian

Always enjoy the pun twists like this one – Crooked Crab is releasing the “Crabdalorian” today in celebration of Star Wars Day / May the Fourth Be With you. (Similarly, Tattered Flag in the past released “The Pandalorian“.)

Brewery Fire – Hoth: Mangalorian

We’ve covered Brewery Fire’s “The Mangalorian” before, but this is a new take on it. A Cold IPA version of it, appropriately titled: Hoth: The Mangalorian.

Our Battle of the Breweries 2023 champion – Allusion Brewing Company – still has their “Stay on Target” on draft.

J. Wakefield Beer

The last I’m gonna highlight here is J. Wakefield Beer’s two releases for today. Dagobah Downpour and Max Rebo’s Sour Ale. Who doesn’t love Max Rebo? Honestly. Coolest musician ever. Other than maybe Droopy McCool who was a Jizz Whailer. (And yes… thats a real term in Star Wars before you get mad at me!)

Help A Brother Out

Here’s gonna be my call out. Help a Brother Out! If you ever see a Star Wars themed, Futurama themed, Zelda themed, Lord of the Rings themed, Seinfeld themed, Simpsons themed, pretty much anything nerdy pop culture themed, beer, shoot me a message. Maybe we can work out a deal or sale or trade or something.

Always looking to get my hands on Star Wars and other nerd themed beers to review for the site / blog. So if you know of any – let me know! I wanna check them all out!

(An incomplete list of beers I’m looking for on BeerAdvocate – ISO – Star Wars Themed Beers.)

Just a quick fun video, if you are interested in the complete timeline of Star Wars up to this date, here you go.

A Highlight of Our Star Wars Beer Reviews

(Some of the following comes from my “May the Fourth Be With You” 2022 article and 2020 articles.)

In this article, I broke down what Star Wars Day is (May the Fourth) and discussed what Star Wars articles I had written up to that point. (Don’t worry, there have been PLENTY of new Star Wars content since then.)

Beer Review: This is the Way (Broken Goblet)

One of the first Star Wars themed beers I reviewed here on the blog, and one of our most popular beer review articles. A good friend (Roy Ge) picked it up for me and Drew to drink at his place while we did a podcast about The Mandalorian. Was an absolutely wonderful beer. They have released a few variants since. One of which I am covering in the upcoming weeks with the Obi-Wan Kenobi show.

Beer Review: This is Nut The Fluff You Are Looking For (Fourscore Beer Co)

Picked this big bad boy of a bottle up when I was in Gettysburg with Ming and Don and brought it back to drink with Drew. As you can see on the blog, you’ll be able to find several Fourscore Beer Co reviews (you can even find Amy’s latest beer review right here – Phantomania). They are a phenomenal brewery that loves delving into Star Wars themed beers. We just picked up a four pack of soft swerves from them that were Star Wars themed, and can’t wait to dive into them here for the blog.

Beer Review: Out of Order – Blue Milk (RAR Brewing)

One of our most popular articles on the blog (right up there with our yearly March Madness tournament posts, our review of Yuengling’s Hershey Porter, and with the Broken Skulls IPA by Stone Cold). This was the first of the Out of Order series I’ve reviewed, and it was a solo one they originally did, but then brought back when they did their Star Wars release in 2021. You’ll find others from that series down below.

Beer Review: Wookie Monster (Fourscore Beer Co)

Another excellent beer, and another Star Wars themed beer by Fourscore Beer Co. Had to work to get this one because I missed out on their initial release and it sold out quickly. Got it through a trade chain through the Central PA Whalerz group, and was I ever so grateful. Delicious beer.

Beer Review: The Pandalorian (Tattered Flag)

From our good friends at Tattered Flag comes this mash-up parody beer called The Pandalorian. This is a very juicy, tasty New Engand IPA that hit the spot on a warm sunny day in November. Soon after my trip back from Indianapolis, (as you can tell by the Vonnegut glass), I got lucky and still had some nice warm November days, and I took full advantage of it laying out and drinking in the sun while reading.

Beer Review: Java the Stout (Jackie O’s Brewery)

One of the beers I picked up on my trip to and from Indianapolis was Java the Stout by Jackie O’s. It was a delicious stout that “lived up to its name”. Also, the can art is absolutely phenomenal. Its worth checking out just for that.

Beer Review: This is the Whey (Bolero Snort)

One of the first Star Wars themed beers I’ve reviewed by Bolero Snort, and a fantastic beer. The other was BoBull Fett and I reviewed that for the premier episode of ‘Book of Boba Fett‘.

Beer Review: The Mangalorian (Brewery Fire)

In early January I hiked with Ming in the Catoctin Mountain area of Maryland. Afterwards we stopped at Brewery Fire and I picked this up to go. This was my May the Fourth review last year. Wonderful beer, and a great brewery that loves their nerd and pop culture references.

Beer Review: BoBull Fett (Bolero Snort)

Another beer review from Bolero Snort, and this time a crowler. We traveled out to New Jersey to pick this up the day of the premier for Book of Boba Fett and then reviewed it for the show as our first of the weekly beer reviews for our “Star Wars Wednesdays”. A fantastic beer.

Beer Review: Out of Order – Tatooine Tart (RAR Brewing)

Back to RAR Brewing and their Out of Order series. Part of their Star Wars batch of the Out of Order series (along with Blue Milk making its return). Jabba’s Palace scene on the background on the computer from Return of the Jedi. As you can also see with the BoBull Fett beer review, the beginning of all the Star Wars LEGOs being shown in the beer pics.

Beer Review: Out of Order – RAWRGWAWGGR (RAR Brewing)

On a cold wintery snowy day in January (January 19th), and another Star Wars Wednesday, I took this Hoth like scene pic with another great Out of Order series beer from RAR Brewing.

Mead Review: The Meadalorian (Space Time Meadery and Cidery)

Our first Mead review on the blog, and it was a fantastic mead. Check out Space Time Meadery and Cidery if you are in the Scranton PA area. You won’t be disappointed.

Beer Review: Let the Haze Flow Through You (Black Flag Brewing Co.)

One of several Black Flag beers we’ve covered on the blog. A top notch brewery we love to hit up whenever we’re able to in the Maryland area. (Its about an hour and a half – plus – drive from our location near Harrisburg.) It has quickly become one of Amy’s favorite breweries. In the background you an also see Troeg’s Double Nugget Nectar which we have reviewed as well.

Beer Review: Wookies and Cream (Tall Tales Brewing Co.)

On another of our brewery trips (this time making our way from Burley Oak over to Cushwa for their 5th Anniversary Brewfest) we stopped at Tall Tales Brewing Co, where I couldn’t help trying out a Star Wars themed beer… especially a stout!

Beer Review: Out of Order – Droid Juice (RAR Brewing)

Back to RAR Brewing’s Out of Order series for our next Star Wars beer review, another of our weekly Book of Boba Fett “Star Wars Wednesdays” beer reviews. A wonderful sour from RAR in line with their others from the series (and their Out of Order series as a whole).

Thank You For Reading

Seeing all the different brewery releases everywhere on a day like this always gives me big time FOMO feelings. Like I’m missing out on a ton of beer. I have reigned that in a lot in my older years, I no longer due to line waiting, and I tamper down mule buying too much (doing more per cost, not willing to give mules a ton of extra money, etc.). Because deep down we all know – beer is beer. As long as you enjoy the beer, it could be called “Zapp Branigan’s Fart” or it could be called “The Death Star IPA” or “IPA”, and it would all taste the same. I think its good to keep that all in perspective when getting that “FOMO” feeling.

Thank you everyone for checking this out.

Also, make sure you stay up to date on the latest of the Founders Brewing Company’s current ‘saga’:

• Founders Brewing Company Sued for Racial Discrimination (Again) Just Before Detroit Taproom Shut Down
• Founders Announce Closure of their Detroit Taproom

Today (obviously) is May 4th. “May the 4th Be With You.” Anyone planning on doing any fun silly Star Wars stuff? Any breweries you are hitting up for some fun beer releases?

Lots of places are turning their normal Thursday night trivia into “Star Wars Trivia” nights.

So what all are you getting into?

Then, Friday is Cinco de Mayo (May 5th). And THEN – its the Craft Brewers Conference May 7th – May 10th. What a busy grouping of days!

Thank you for reading everyone. We are gearing up for the Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) this upcoming week. We are traveling down Saturday and Sunday, and going to be at the conference late Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

We are totally psyched and cannot wait.

The Finals Fatal Four Way

Here it is – the Main Event! Its the Finals Fatal Four Way! The culmination of the entire 2023 Battle of the Breweries! And what a tournament this has been! We have four stellar conference champions now pitted against each other in a Finals Fatal Four Way.

Three great breweries from Pennsylvania and one brewery from Maryland will be competing in our multi – state 160 brewery tournament finals.

You can find the results from the Conference Finals here:

• The Battle of the Breweries (2023) – Conference Finals (Results Page)
• The Battle of the Breweries (2023) – Conference Finals (Voting Page) (Voting Closed)

The Finals Fatal Four Way is the winner of each of the conferences – Chinook, Nugget, Saaz, and Walhalla, competing in a final match – up to determine the Champion of this year’s Battle of the Breweries. Its a single winner match – up between the four, so no multiple choice, no elimination, just vote for one of the four competing breweries (the voting will only allow you to vote for one).

The four remaining breweries, our final four competitors, are:

• Chinook Conference Winner: Tattered Flag Brewery and Distillery
• Nugget Conference Winner: Allusion Brewing Company
• Saaz Conference Winner: AleCraft Brewing Company
• Walhalla Conference Winner: Mad Chef Brewing

So which will it be? Who will be 2023’s Battle of the Breweries winner? Will it be Tattered Flag Brewery? Or will it be Allusion Brewing Company? Or could it be AleCraft Brewing Company? Or perhaps Mad Chef Brewing?

You decide!

Ok, Scarlet apparently really loves the Lord of the Rings soothing music on YouTube (currently listening to Lord of the Rings | Gondor Music & Ambience, and that put her right to sleep. So I was able to get this voting page up. Thank you all for reading us here at The Beer Thrillers and checking out our page and having the patience as I get these articles up with a nearly five month old who is beginning to teethe.

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the four remaining breweries and wish them all the best of luck. I have enjoyed visiting all four of them, and they certainly all rank very highly in my opinion. (Amy has been to three of them with me, and has loved the three she visited as well.)

It is a tremendous honor to get to this point in the competition – out of 160 breweries, we are down to just 4 remaining. Thats amazing to think about, and shows the love and support these breweries have.

Even the conference runner ups put in a tremendous effort and deserve some recognition too. Cox Brewing Company, Von C Breiwng Company, RAR Brewing, and Boneshire Brew Works are all amazing breweries and have loved my (and Amy as well) visits to their breweries.

As well as I want to take the moment to thank all of the 160 breweries that shared, linked, pushed, and helped make this tournament a rousing success. You all blow me away with the love, support, and energy you pour into this – as well as what you pour into your breweries (and, by relation – what you pour into my glass). Thank you all for everything you’ve done!

This tournament has been a lot of fun, but it is also a lot of work. So thank you to everyone for your patience. WordPress has also been a bit of a bear for much of this, but it appears the tagging, categories, formatting, and other issues got resolved just the past few days (noticed it when writing up the Separatist Beer Project Closure post). So things should be going smoothly – but if you do notice anything not working, please leave a comment or message us through the CONTACT US page or by e – mail at thebeerthrillers@gmail.com

In the upcoming two weeks I am going to do a more thorough look at the full tournament, breaking down the votes and how well each conference winner did. I will also do a full write up on each of the breweries in the Finals Fatal Four Way too, where I will list what articles we’ve done about them, and my visits to each of those places.
