Ahsoka

Have no fear – we are still pumping out the Futurama content, even if the video reviews are a few days behind. But ontop of that, Drew (of Knights of Nostalgia) and myself are doing video reacts to the Ahsoka show. We are getting drunk, belligerent, and then watching the show. You can find those videos at the Knights of Nostalgia YouTube Channel.

This Episode’s Beer

This video essay’s adjoining beer was “Lil Ben’s Milk Stout” by Antietam Brewery. It is a 5% ABV Milk Stout / Sweet Stout, with 18 IBU and a global average rating of 3.65 on Untappd. The description on Untappd reads: “Brewed with pure milk sugar and a host of specialty malts, this triumphant ale will keep you warm inside and wanting more. Roasted coffee and smooth chocolate notes dominate this creamy sweet stout.”

Antietam Brewing Company sits just outside of the Antietam Battlefield and is a wonderful brewery in a cool spot. Be sure to check out the battlefield and then hit up the great brewery.

]]> 12479 Beer Review: Hop Bender (Local Craft Beer) https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/08/21/beer-review-hop-bender-local-craft-beer/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=beer-review-hop-bender-local-craft-beer Mon, 21 Aug 2023 16:05:00 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=12278
Hop Bender by Local Craft Beer

Lets Do the Bender Hop

Its another Monday (groan), but ya’ll know what that means? Futurama! This week its episode six – Related to Items You’ve Viewed – an Amazon parody episode. I’ll get into the episode in a bit, but as you all know, every Monday I’ve been doing a “Futurama” themed beer, book, or other review (or article). Followed up by doing an episode video review when I get a chance. (I am slowly getting behind schedule on that, but keep your eyes peeled and locked on our YouTube channel page.)

Futurama Mondays

Thus far, these are the Futurama Monday articles:

Beer Review: Hop Bender by Local Craft Beer

Hop Bender by Local Craft Beer

Beer: Hop Bender
Brewery: Local Craft Beer (LCB)
Style: IPA – Triple New England / Hazy
ABV: 10%
IBU: 15
Untappd Description: This Beer is 40% Hops

Another excellent Tavour purchase that makes me wish I picked up more. But wooooo boy, at 10% you can’t be plugging too many of these away early in the day. I do enjoy the can art too. Turning Bender into a Fermenter is pretty cool, and fitting like we saw in “The Route of All Evil” episode.

Back of the Hop Bender can label

I enjoy the back of the can label as well, giving the description of the beer and how to preserve it. (Remember – always drink your hazies fresh!)

So enough about the can, lets get into this beer, lets crack it open and enjoy it.

Right away, on first crack and pour, you get hit with a rush of hop aroma. Like a Bender fist to the nose full of hop aromatics. This is super hop strong. Notes of pine resin, grapefruit, mango; all come flourishing through on the nose. Possible notes of pineapple and tangerine as well but its kinda muddied in there with all of the other hop aromas.

Appearance is your typical hazy IPA (not that there’s anything wrong with that – thats how its supposed to be). Nice golden hue, opaque, lovely pillowy foamy head, interspersed bubbles, nice lacing on the glass, golden wheat orange coloring. A beauty to behold.

And now its time to take our first sip…. and wow, this slaps hard – harder than Mom does! (Not my mom…. the Futurama Mom.) This is strong, but it is also so easy. This is far too smooth for a TIPA (Triple IPA) and far too smooth for a 10% beer. Kinda reminds me of Nimble Giant in that aspect – far too smooth and you can catch yourself drinking a few before realizing it. This is definitely in that category of “dangerous”. But in a good way (with modest self control). This is a very juicy, full hazy (T)IPA. Immediate notes of grapefruit, mango, pineapple, and tangerine. There is a medley of flavors all vying for your attention on first sip – in equal parts it seems – you get the mango, the pineapple, the tangerine, and the grapefruit. But as you drink it, you start to pick up some more notes and characteristics; like pine resin, earthy, and a bit of a forest floor to it as the hop notes really sink into you and take hold. “Bite my shiny metal ass” this is a damn good beer and I am really kicking my (shiny metal) ass wishing I had gotten more.

All in all a wonderful TIPA that lives up to its name. Thankfully this isn’t just some ‘bad’ beer with a pop culture / mainstream / nerd culture name slapped to it to make it sell. (Because lets be honest, a lot of craft breweries do this.) But this Bender-iffic beer absolutely nails it, and is a great drink. Just don’t expect to go all Zoidberg on this and drink it all up at once, or you’ll be snoring like The Professor in no time.

My Untappd Rating: ****
Global Untappd Rating: 4.06 (as of 8.21.23)

Related to Items You’ve Viewed

This might be the most (old school) Futurama episode of the season so far. On first watch, I didn’t really care for it, but on second and third watch, the episode completely grew on me and is probably my new favorite of the season. This and ‘How the West was 1010001’ episode are neck and neck.

I will go into much further and detailed analysis and review of this in the video review (that should be hopefully coming out soon).
