7th Anniversary Beer Fest – Event Brite Page

Fidens?! Adroit Theory? Xul Brewing? RAR Brewing? Southern Grist? Resident Culture? Burley Oak? Dewey? Crooked Crab? Other Half? Fourscore? Dancing Gnome? Black Flag?

Sign us up!

This is an absolute star studded lineup, and we can’t wait. Amy and I will be going. Looking to meet up with a lot of the Central PA Whalerz and hopefully doing a beer share afterwards as well. (Because… why not do a beer share after a mammoth four hour brewfest?)

Unlike the 5th Anniversary Event where Amy and I took the Friday off, and made a huge brewery trip out of it, this year, we’re just going to be going down Saturday morning, hitting up the brewfest, spending the night, and then hitting a few breweries on the way home Sunday. Still a lot of fun, but possibly a little bit more laid back. (Possibly.)

The Top 10 Breweries in Pennsylvania for 2023 (As per Untappd)

Every year around this time of year its fun to take a look back to see what breweries got the most check – ins, what breweries had the most visits, and what breweries are trending up (versus those trending down or even outright closing).

This data was compiled up to December 9th, 2023 at 11:59:59 PM EST.

Yesterday we posted the Top 10 Breweries in Pennsylvania for 2023 as per Perplexity AI. You can read that article here: The Top 10 Breweries in Pennsylvania as Per Perplexity.

Top Ten Breweries in Pennsylvania

Here’s the top 10 breweries in Pennsylvania, in list form, as per Untappd check ins and ratings:

1. Other Half Brewing Company – Philadelphia, PA – 4.23 Rating
2. The Referend Bier Blendery – Kutztown, PA – 4.20 Rating
3. Imprint Beer Co. – Hatfield, PA – 4.16 Rating
4. Fermentery Form – Philadelphia, PA – 4.15 Rating
5. Hidden River Brewing – Douglassville, PA – 4.13 Rating
6. Dancing Gnome Brewing – Pittsburgh, PA – 4.11 Rating
7. Tired Hands Brewing – Ardmore, PA – 4.10 Rating
8. Warwick Farms Brewing – Jameson, PA – 4.09 Rating (Tied)
9. Antifragile Brewing – State College, PA – 4.09 Rating (Tied)
10. Brew Gentleman – Pittsburgh, PA – 4.09 Rating (Tied)
11. Second Sin Brewing – Bristol, PA – 4.09 Rating (Tied)

Positions 8 – 11 are tied for 8th.

How it Works

Untappd uses a weighted ratings system. They average the number of check ins and the average rating of each of the beers rated for the breweries. Non – rated beers act as a nothing (not a zero nor a five). You can read more about Untappd’s weighted rating system here – Untappd weighted rating system.

Breweries on the Outside Looking In

There are five breweries that just missed the cut, that are nearly on that Top 10 (or in the case of this year due to the ties – Top 11) list, and they are:

• Mechanistic Brewing – Clarion, PA – 4.07 Rating
• Aslin Beer Company – Pittsburgh, PA – 4.07 Rating
• Fourscore Beer Company – Gettysburgh, PA – 4.06 Rating
• Abjuration Brewing – Pittsburgh, PA – 4.05 Rating
• Human Robot Beer – Philadelphia, PA – 4.05 Rating

There are so many good breweries in Pennsylvania, that its crazy to even dwindle the list down to 10, 11, 15 or 16 as we did here today.

Another Futurama Monday

Welcome back for another Futurama Monday! Did you know Hulu has the episodes up basically at midnight?! I didn’t! I thought it was like Disney+ and other services where a new episode usually airs at 3:00 AM EST, but I got on last night and the newest episode was on already at 12:54 AM (EST) when I checked it out. Totally awesome and good to know I can get an early jump on each Futurama episode (since I only get to bed usually around 1 AM – 2 AM every night anyway).

Today’s Futurama themed beer is an older beer – but I did the review quite a while ago, and saved it. I had been waiting and deciding when to post the review – and then found out that the series was coming back and I thought – perfect, I’ll just wait to post it when the new season comes up. So here it is, now to be posted with the new season.

I Apologize For Nothing (pictured with Hedonism Bot on the label) came out for the Fourscore Beer Company’s 3rd Anniversary Celebration last year. (And coincidentally, they are ramping up their celebrations for this upcoming week which will be their fourth anniversary celebration. Check their Facebook page for all of their announcements. You can also see Wade Leedy posting in the Gettysburg Beer group as well about information.) Fourscore Beer Company did a big 3rd Anniversary Celebration last year with a lot of new releases and I Apologize For Nothing was one of them.

I Apologize For Nothing

I Apologize for Nothing!

A memorable quote from one of the more tertiary characters of the show – Hedonism Bot. He is only in 14 episodes and 3 of the movies, and rarely has more than one or two lines – one of which is the above line (repeated a few times over the various episodes).

In 3003, Hedonismbot attended the Big Robot Party (4ACV08). In 3004, he attended the Calculon–Coilette wedding (4ACV13), and asked Fry to write an opera (4ACV18). In 3007, he saw the professor‘s doomsday devices (BBS). In 3008, he was present at the League of Robots when Bender entered the league (TBWABB). In 3009, he attended the Violet Dwarf Star Implosion (ITWGY). In 3010, he supported Proposition ∞ (6ACV04), he made a big party to celebrate his wedding to a house (6ACV07), saw Amy and Kif at the Hip Joint (6ACV08), and attended the 100th Delivery Party (6ACV12). In 3014, he was with the Planet Express Crew and the Simpsons during “the end of the world” (SABF16).

……

Hedonismbot’s behaviour resembles that of a rich decadent Roman noble of ancient times, and he is a great patron of the opera with his very own box in the Metropolitan House of Opera – he even commissioned Fry to write an opera in which Fry would perform the Holophonor (4ACV18).

Hedonismbot also enjoys a number of unconventional hedonistic pleasures, including being covered in chocolate icing, sex orgies and robosexuality.

Hedonismbot was to be married to a house in the suburbs in July of 3010, but the night before, he held a bachelor party where, due to a nuclear powered stripper malfunctioning, he was the only survivor. It is unclear if he was married or not, but as evidenced by a party in September, his hedonistic ways of promiscuity have not changed.

In a season three commentary, Matt Groening points out the importance of the name being Hedonismbot and not Hedonistbot – he is not only hedonist, he is the actual personification of hedonism.

In 3013, Leela called him a senator (7ACV21).

Hedonism Bot – The Infosphere (Futurama Wikipedia)

As his name suggests – he is a robot based around hedonism. Kind of a Caligula styled design and character attitude, all about wanton and based lusts.

Beer Review: I Apologize For Nothing

Beer: I Apologize For Nothing
Brewery: Fourscore Beer Co.
Style: IPA – Triple New England / Hazy
ABV: 10%
IBU: N / A
Untappd Description: Built off a base of American 2 Row and Chit malts with loads of malted and flaked oats and a very large dose of powdered Australian Sauvignon Blanc whole grape powder. Hopped in the kettle with Calypso and Centennial Cryo and triple dry hopped with Kohatu, Citra Cryo and Emerald Spire. The grape powder provides a melon forward aromatic profile that is followed by notes of under ripe pineapple and pine needles. The grape follows through in the flavor on top of a soft and juicy base. More floral notes are present here along with watermelon rind, candied pineapple and bright citrus

Bammo! Hedonism all over on this big bad TIPA (Triple IPA). It hits you right out of the gate as you start to pour it with a heady aroma of hops knocking those hedonistic senses right out of you. The Citra really shines on the nose and aroma, and you get a wealth of fruity flavors ranging from grape, pineapple, and a bit of mango and grapefruit to kind of round it out. This is a bright, juicy, powerful beer, just from the aroma alone.

The appearance is a beautiful light straw color, with a wonderful fluffy, cloud like head to it. Very soft, very pillowy, airy and light looking. (Don’t let that fool you though.) It is opaque and hazy like a New England hazy IPA should be, no real noticeable floating sediment, and as you drink it, it left wonderful lacing on the glass.

Already I know this is going to be a killer beer. As good as an explosion at Hedonism Bot’s bachelor party. (“There was bodies everywhere…. and then the explosion happened!”) Big time carbonation and continued fermentation here; big fruit flavors and the grape powder adds a nice tartness. There is a lot of flavors and interactions going on with this big bad boy of a TIPA. The tartness is paired with sweeter, gummies citrus notes Sweet, but TIPAs need that to counter the booze. The sweetness does counter balance the tartness nicely, and the hops, even New England / Hazy TIPAs can get a bit too much hop character, too much hop bite, and can be too green – they just need that fruit, that sweet, that wealth of flavors and aromas to counterbalance – otherwise it can be a bit too much, especially the higher ABV they get, the more boozy they can sometimes taste and feel. This is a very intricate and balanced beer with a lot of nuanced tastes and notes to be discovered as you drink it. Its not a sipper like a bourbon barrel aged barleywine or anything, but certainly not one you can crush or should be drinking too fast. Definitely don’t think its a four – pack in an evening type of beer either (more like one or two at most).

My Untappd Rating: ****
Global Untappd Rating: 3.95 (updated this to reflect today’s date – 8.7.23)

How the West Was 1010101010

(I don’t even know if I have the right binary above, but lets go with it.) Quick thoughts on today’s episode – I enjoyed it. So far might be my favorite episode of the season. Dwight does sound off, not sure if they recast him, or if its a thing of aging, but he sounds off. I did enjoy Roberto, Borax Kid, and all of the little character arcs of the episode. It was just a fun, old school, zany Futurama episode. Not all of the jokes fully landed, but they were still on brand for the most part, and were fun. They didn’t have to do much exposition in the episode, and I just enjoyed it. Was just a fun, Futurama episode of old.

Preparing for the Holiday Weekend

While mentally preparing for this long holiday weekend I stared at the collection of bomber bottles on top of my rolltop desk in my living room.  It feels like they are taking up lots of space and I just simply must decrease the number of bottles on top of my desk.  Holiday weekends are perfect for that. 

Bomber Quiz

Bombs Away

I decided to crack into the Captain Precious from Alementary.  We picked up this one when we had to stop by since after having Scarlet.  We loved celebrating her birth by toasting one of our favs from them, Figgy Pudding. 

When we posted on IG about her birth they graciously offered another bottle in celebration.  Captain Precious was another bottle we had to get on the way out the door. 

Captain Precious is a 12.5% Barleywine and the perfect way to kick off the holiday weekend and we paired it with some spicy tacos.  It has an average rating on Untapped at 3.90 and that is way too low for this quality Barleywine.  It is described on Untapped as “Marjie’s first beer!  This Barleywine is made with peanut butter and heaps of fresh blueberries and fermented with Kveik yeast for a touch of overripe tropical fruit. “The perfect mix of some peanut butter and blueberries it was delicious. (You can view our reel from Facebook about adding it to the taco meat and enjoying the delicious barleywine here – The Beer Thrillers on Facebook, Reels.)

We then finished off the night with a stout we bought way before we got pregnant, two of the Pastry Stouts from the Pastry Parkway line from Fourscore Beer Co in Gettysburg. All four pastry stouts come in with a 15% ABV. Two of the four we got were the cannoli and the s’mores Cupcake.  The other two I wish I got my hands on were Blueberry Marshmallow Muffin and Chocolate Cherry Caramel Croissant.  The Pastry Parkway was a collab with Wolf Brewering Company in Mechanicsburg, PA and Fourscore Beer Company in Gettysburg, PA.

We started with the Cannoli Pastry Stout and we decided to pair it with some chocolate peanut butter cup Turkey Hill ice cream.  It was a warm evening and I would be going for ice cream so we were lucky it was a delicious combo.  Then, as I sat down to write this, we cracked open the S’more Cupcake Pastry Stout and stole Ben’s Zebra cakes to go with it. 

I know feel accomplished getting a few things cleaned up around the house by decreasing the bomber stash.  I can’t wait for the next holiday weekend!  Happy Birthday America!

Some Explosive Good Beers

All of these – from the Figgy Pudding we had in honor of our child’s birth; to the Captain Precocious we had picked up at The Alementary (one of our favorite breweries), to the two Fourscore Beer Co and Wolf Brewing Company collabs (Pastry Parkway – Cannoli and Pastry Parkway – S’mores Cupcake) were “explosively good”. (See what I did there?)

So I have to ask you all again… how many bombers do you have sitting at home, cellaring in your basement, and waiting to be drank? (Don’t worry, despite polishing these off, we still have plenty more to go!)

Drink More Beer!

Happy Birthday

In honor of Miss Amy turning 42 (but, you didn’t hear that number from me), let’s take a look back at all of the articles she’s (so far) written here for The Beer Thrillers blog. We’ll start with her oldest articles and work our way to the present, and then link to her full repertoire so you could bookmark it to find them easily in the future.

Beer Review: Sorbetto 40 (Ever Grain Brewing Company)

Let’s start off with her first article, dated November 17th, 2021. Miss Amy loves her Sorbetto series by Ever Grain Brewing Company, and she wanted to kick off her articles with them. A quick excerpt:

“There is a secret part of me, well not so secret anymore, that is OBSESSED with the sorbetto line. Maybe a little obsession with the yinzbetto line. The Sorbetto series was the line of beers that got me through quarantine and coincidently celebrating my 40^th birthday over quarantine as well. The thrill of a new sorbetto announcement STILL tickles my fancy.”

Beer Review: Sorbetto 40 (Ever Grain Brewing

You can find her article here: Beer Review: Sorbetto 40 (Ever Grain Brewing Company) by Amy Wolfe.

Beer Review: Missile Toad (Ever Grain Brewing Company)

Did you know that Amy loves Ever Grain Brewing Company? Yea… its not really a big secret that she’s a huge fan of their brewery and their beers. Her second article here for The Beer Thrillers blog was a second Ever Grain Brewing Company beer review; this time Missile Toad. Dated on December 22nd, 2021.

A quick excerpt:

“When this tasty season treat came out last year when we were all stir crazy from quarantine I went on a long, long adventure with my friend the Missile Toad. I am normally not a fan of the grapefruit notes in my beer, but this triple IPA holds up with a high ABV, very light straw color and a not so boozy taste.”

Beer Review: Missile Toad (Ever Grain Brewing Company)

You can find her article here: Beer Review: Missile Toad (Ever Grain Brewing Company) by Amy Wolfe.

Beer Review: Riff Mountain 7 (South County Brewing Company)

Another favorite of Miss Amy is South County Brewing Company, and her third beer review (and her third article) for the blog reflects that – with South County’s Riff Mountain number seven.

A quick excerpt:

I first tried this beer (the first iteration / the first version of it / the first variant of it) when kicking off my three – week furlough from my full-time job. Of course, I decided to kick off my work furlough, while celebrating still having a full-time job, by joining friends at South County Brewing Co. It was a wise decision. Riff Mountain took me on a smooth hop ride that was fitting to kick off a three – week furlough to disconnect from work and a global pandemic.

Beer Review: Riff Mountain 7 (South County Brewing Company)

This article, dated December 28th, 2021, was her third article and her third beer review. You can find the article here: Beer Review: Riff Mountain 7 (South County Brewing Company) by Amy Wolfe.

Beer Review: Sorbetto 42 (Ever Grain Brewing Company)

A bit ironic (or just coincidence, or whatever term you want to use), but Miss Amy also reviewed Sorbetto 42. Perfectly timed here for her 42nd birthday. And as you can see, she really does love Ever Grain Brewing Company, and loves their Sorbetto series. This article was dated January 16th, 2022.

A quick excerpt:

There is a secret Sorbetto dance I perform when I see Ever Grain post they came out with a new Sorbetto. I might do a similar celebration dance for the yinzbetto series and Drippity announcements too. Since it’s so darn cold out, this dance was effective at also warming up my cold bones.

Yes, I’m still obsessed with the Sorbetto series. I just feel like Ever Grain gets me when it comes to this series. It was everything I needed in my life and well…. still need! The forty second one in the series does not disappoint! Check out my other Sorbetto review – Beer Review: Sorbetto 40 (Ever Grain Brewing Co.) or my other beer review from Ever Grain Brewing (Beer Review: Missile Toad)

(You can find other Ever Grain beer reviews here as well: All Together, Peanut Butter Udder One, Multiple Beer Review: Barrel Aged Barleywine, You Think Darkness is Your Ally?, 3rd Anniversary Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout, Cinn-a-Bunn).

Brewfests with Anxiety

Amy’s next article was a departure from her beer reviews, but a big article that she felt very strongly about and (in my opinion) her best piece of writing. In it she talks about anxiety, panic attacks, and brewfests, and how to best combat the anxiety attacks at brewfests. This article came after we went down to the Cushwa 5th Anniversary Brewfest. Her article is dated January 23rd, 2022.

A quick excerpt:

I went to a crowded Brewfest and I didn’t have a panic attack.  This is huge. No, this is a massive victory for me, my anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy in social settings.

As an avid beer lover being able to attend a Brewfest and sample many brews is a mecca of the craft beer drinking lover.  Let’s be honest, when you are in a large crowd and can barely move even the social butterfly will feel some twinges of nervousness.

What often leads to a bad situation is I know I will feel less anxious if I drink more, thus often leading to a less than enjoyable evening.  Not to mention the “clean up” of an evening that I drank too much to mask my panic attacks.

I still remember one of my first panic attacks as a young 20 something.  I walked into my small, hometown bar.  All those parked in their regular spots at the bar and those enjoying an evening out in groups at tables all turned to look who just walked in the door.  I felt a tightening around my neck and I was able to inhale very little oxygen. 

Brewfests with Anxiety

Beer Review: Phantomania (Fourscore Beer Company)

Amy’s latest and most recent article was another beer review, again from another of her favorite breweries – Fourscore Beer Company out of Gettysburg PA. This one is dated March 9th, 2022. But have no fear, she has quite a few projects she’s working on her for the blog, and she’ll have new articles soon. (She’s also working on a much bigger project with Scarlet Emma in production, due to arrive November 22nd).

A quick excerpt:

There are so many things to unpack about this beer. I feel like I’m always on the hunt for the next tasty hazy IPA…and let me tell you I like them hazy!  That perfect Hazy IPA reminds me what it feels like when Homer has that drooling eye roll moment.

The tropical and citrusy aroma of Phantomania quickly took me away to a better place than central pa during a freezing rainy day!  It must be this fabulous hop combination.  It ends on a bitter taste, but it just cleanses that palate and you are ready for the next satisfying sip.

Beer Review: Phantomania (Fourscore Beer Company)

Gettysburg’s Little Brewery Turns Three Years Old

One of Central and lower Pennsylvania’s favorite breweries is turning three years old this Saturday. Its amazing how far and what all they’ve done since opening their doors in August of 2019. Riding out a pandemic, getting acclaim countrywide, being featured prominently online from influencers, blogs, the media, and more.

Third Anniversary – August 13th, 2022

This Saturday, on August 13th, 2022, starting and kicking off at 10:00 AM (EST) at their brewery in Gettysburgh, Fourscore Beer Company is beginning their big anniversary celebration. With lots of new beer releases, as well as food trucks, beer on tap, and much much more.

Their event page on Facebook says:

Join us August 13th as we celebrate our 3rd Anniversary!! We will have special can releases including a collab with Other Half Brewing Co., Fourscore’s Greatest Hits Mixed Pack, and probably more. Plus, some other fun is being planned. Mark your calendars now and stay tuned!

You can find their event page here: Fourscore Beer Company – 3rd Anniversary Celebration – Facebook Event Page.

As more information comes up, we’ll be sure to update this post to let you all know.

Anniversary “Greatest Hits” Six Pack

To celebrate their third anniversary, Fourscore Beer Company is releasing a “greatest hits” six pack. They are re – releasing five of their greatest sours as well as one brand new beer to go with the pack. The following has been their Facebook (and Instagram) posts detailing the beers involved in the mix pack:

1) Soft Swerve Dole Whip

For our 3rd anniversary, we decided to bring back 5 of our highest rated sours ever, plus one brand new addition for this year’s anniversary mixed pack!

To kick things off, we are bringing back our highest rated sour ever – the OG Soft Swerve Dole Whip! The aromatics of pineapple and vanilla bring a straight pineapple upside down cake experience. The flavor is sweet and tropical in a beer form that will absolutely remind you of the frozen dessert.

𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗩𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗗𝗔𝗬, 𝗔𝗨𝗚𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝟭𝟯 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗧 𝟭𝟬𝗔𝗠

2) Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Jahmba

Second up in our greatest hits mixed pack releasing next Saturday in celebration of our 3rd anniversary is….

𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗜𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗝𝗮𝗵𝗺𝗯𝗮

This is the one that started Soft Swerve. Massive jammy blueberry with a great cheesecake backbone. As with all of our cheesecake treatments, this one contains trace amounts of dairy. We can do ice cream without the dairy and lactose, but our cheesecake does contain a very small amount.

Fourscore Beer Company – Facebook – August 3rd, 9:48PM EST.

3) Soft Swerve Mango Cheesecake

Announcing Part 3 of our Anniversary Greatest Hits mixed pack – releasing next Saturday at 10am!

𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗸𝗲

We brought a second offering back from the OG release of Soft Swerve. We scoured back through the recipe book to see how we went about this the first time around. It all started with trying to source the best mango puree around, Alphonso Mango. Prized for its flavor, aroma and creamy texture, no other mango comes close. Pair this with our cheesecake treatment (contains dairy, because – well – Cheesecake) and you have a tropical explosion melded perfectly with lingering cheesecake.

Make plans now to come help us celebrate!

4) Pinekiller

𝘿𝙧𝙪𝙢 𝙍𝙤𝙡𝙡 𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚

Part 4 of our Anniversary Greatest Hits mixed pack is…..

𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗞𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗥

It had to be done! We had to bring this collab with the homies from the White Rabbit back. With how it was scored, you guys thought the same. Huge amounts of tropical pineapple backed with exotic Yuzu puree and a solid heaping of coconut cream. The inspiration of this one was always a Painkiller cocktail, but with an exotic twist.

5) Mario Jahmba – Strawberry, Blueberry, Vanilla, Cream Cheesecake

What’s gonna be the 5th can in our Greatest Hits Anniversary mixed pack you ask??

It’s a me! Mario!!!!

Back at it again with a jammy blend of strawberry and blueberry backed by a huge vanilla cupcake pop. Throw in a touch of frosting and our favorite friend who we are really not allowed to talk about is back for a final encore.

6) Jahmba Gelato

Announcing the last addition to our Anniversary mixed 6 pack releasing next Saturday. This one is not one we did before, but we think it will rate right up there with the rest!!

𝗝𝗮𝗵𝗺𝗯𝗮 𝗚𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼 #𝟭

𝐶𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑏 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑇𝑖𝑛 𝐵𝑎𝑟𝑛 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑔．

We got together with our good friends from Chester, NY to combine our fruited sour brain power. For our end of the collab, we took influence from true Italian gelatos and went with a concept based on one of the top selling gelato flavors, Bacio. Think milk chocolate with fresh hazelnut. We of course had to add our own twist and we conditioned it on loads of strawberry, blueberry, blackberry and boysenberry.

But Wait….. There’s More

On top of their “Greatest Hits” Mixed Six Pack, they are also releasing even more beers! (Nobody certainly ever said Fourscore Beer Co. doesn’t go all out!). The following are further releases scheduled for this Saturday.

Peach and Quiet

This Saturday is our third Anniversary celebration!! So far we announced our mixed 6 pack. Next up is our Foeder Aged Farmhouse Wit conditioned on local peaches.

𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁

Foeder Aged Farmhouse Wit with Peaches – We took our mixed culture fermented farmhouse with local grain that spent over a year in our custom foeders and conditioned it on hundreds of pounds of local Adams County freestone peaches for nearly an entire year. Post aging, we bottle conditioned it for the most natural experience possible, lending a nicely carbonated yet still soft textured experience.

Next Anniversary sneak peek….

Hazy Triple IPA w/ wine powder – Built off a base of American 2 Row and Chit malts with loads of malted and flaked oats and a very large dose of powdered Australian Sauvignon Blanc whole grape powder. Hopped in the kettle with Calypso and Centennial Cryo and triple dry hopped with Kohatu, Citra Cryo and Emerald Spire. The grape powder provides a melon forward aromatic profile that is followed by notes of under ripe pineapple and pine needles. The grape follows through in the flavor on top of a soft and juicy base. More floral notes are present here along with watermelon rind, candied pineapple and bright citrus.

You can bet we’ll try and get our hands on this one to review. Our love here at The Beer Thrillers knows no bound for Futurama. (We actually fell asleep last night with Futurama on from Hulu – woke up this morning to the “The Devil’s Hands Are Idle Playthings” episode – one of my favorites.)

Here’s yet another Anniversary release coming your way this Saturday, August 13 at 10am.

𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗶 𝗚𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗿

(15%) Blended Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with Coffee, Peanut Butter, Marshmallow and Vanilla. We took stock from 4 different barrel aged stouts (16 month Templeton Rye, 12 month Buffalo Trace, 3 year Four Roses OESK and 3 year Four Roses OBSO), blended them together and aged them extensively on pounds of Tahitian Vanilla beans. We then added peanut butter powder, bourbon barrel aged coffee and marshmallow to give the ultimate sweet treat.

Round 3

This weekend we are celebrating Round 3 and are super excited to have our Anniversary release collab with @otherhalfnyc!!!

𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗 𝟯

Hazy DIPA Collab w/ Other Half

Built off of a base of American Pilsner, and various oats and wheat. Hopped in the kettle with Citra Incognito and Motueka, then triple dry hopped with Citra Spectrum, Nectaron and Riwaka. Fermented with a brand new Thiolized yeast strain from our friends at Omega. The aromatics are all fresh peaches and white grapefruit with a slightly over ripe pineapple backdrop over a bright golden hue. The mouthfeel is lush and creamy with more peach, pineapple and just enough bitter for a balance. The ABV is well hidden and deceitful.

Rum Barrel Aged Fruited Sour – How could we only do one collab with the homies from @otherhalfnyc? We took our barrel aged sour game to the next level on this one. After sharing around the first take on our barrel aged Jahmba at a fest, we figured that we needed to combine forces to make a beer that is truly next level. We aged our house sour base in a rum barrel and then took this cocktail influenced concept and added a ton of jammy fresh strawberry puree. After getting that perfect daiquiri consistency and flavor, we brought the next level of intrigue in with some top notch lychee puree. The combo provided to be sweet, boozy and flat out amazing.

Beers…. Mmmmm….. Beers….

There are so many things to unpack about this beer. I feel like I’m always on the hunt for the next tasty hazy IPA…and let me tell you I like them hazy!  That perfect Hazy IPA reminds me what it feels like when Homer has that drooling eye roll moment.

The tropical and citrusy aroma of Phantomania quickly took me away to a better place than central pa during a freezing rainy day!  It must be this fabulous hop combination.  It ends on a bitter taste, but it just cleanses that palate and you are ready for the next satisfying sip.

Beer Review

Beer: Phantomania
Brewery: Fourscore Beer Co.
Style: IPA – Triple New England / Hazy
ABV: 11%
IBU: None
Untappd Description: For our foray into using Phantasm Powder (a thiol rich substance derived from NZ Sauv Blanc grape skins) we chose a triple ipa with various forms of Citra and Motueka hops.  The grist is compromised of a base of American Pilsner malt, British Golden Promise and malted oats, backed by touched of flaked oats CaraFoam, wheat malt, and unmalted wheat.  Hopped in the Whirlpool with Citra Incognto and Motueka, and a double dry hopped with doses of Phantasm Powder, Citra Cryo and more Motueka before a final dose of Citra Spectrum.  The aroma is sweet lime peel, white gummy bear and pink grapefruit driven, leading to a creamy body.  The flavor is straight lime sherbert with hints of ripe mango, leading to a finish that’s a little dry with a hint….

I am in complete agreement, there are not enough characters in an untapped description in order to describe Phantomania.

I had never heard of phantasm power….is it just me??  I quickly ran to the google-later to conquer my questions.  According to Bisonbrew.com “Phantasm Powder is a brand new product from New Zealand. It’s basically pulverized freeze-dried Sauvignon Blanc Grapes. What it contributes to beer is a massive charge of thiols: compounds that drive intense tropical fruit flavor and aroma.” Ah, that is where the tropical citrusy cloud comes from.  Chef’s Kiss!

Hang on just a minute.  As a former wino, ok wino currently in remission, sauvignon blanc grapes are a favorite. I suppose it depends on how good each season is for how readily available or how tasty each grape skin.  In November Porchdrinking.com reported it is still “one of the most unique and hard-to-get beer ingredients on the market today.” https://www.porchdrinking.com/articles/2021/11/03/phantasm-powder/

Please tell me we aren’t going to pretend to not talk about the elephant in the room.  Am I the only one that had no idea that ABV was 11%?  This nice, light, citrusy beer is a BEAST.  I can easily say this is one of my top 10 fav beers of 2021.  Yes, this Phantasm powder has been boggling my mind since then!  I intend to drink many more beers with phantasm powder to compare.  Let’s be honest I’ll be drinking many more beers regardless, but load up on this good stuff. 

It’s still available on top and 4 packs to go. You can find it here at Fourscore Beer Co’s Menu.

• FACEs Conference: Round Two Voting

Round One Has Finished

Thank you everyone who has voted in round one. We got 3422 votes in one week and thus has ended round one of the tournament! We have gone from 48 breweries and competitors down to 24 breweries left.

First a word on going forward: due to how I have set-up the brackets and how its not a typical “32” or “64” or “128” tournament, that means we will now go from divisions to two conferences. (We’ll keep the wrestling theme going and still call them the HEELs and FACEs conferences.) At this point we will also re-seed the conferences. Just like before, total global average rating on Untappd will be used to seed the breweries.

So there is now two conferences of 12 breweries / competitors each. The conferences are reseeded (again using Untappd rankings) to create the new brackets for each conference.

Round Two Match-Ups

The new brackets for the conferences, and The Battle of the Breweries (2021) March Madness going forward now looks like this:
