Highwater Hefeweizen: Banana, Clove, and Zero Regrets
This is the wheat beer that sells itself — bright, balanced, and disappearing from the cooler faster than I can restock it.
Pinewood Pale Ale: Citrus Up Front, Pine on the Finish
Clean West Coast profile with grapefruit, a touch of resin, and a dry finish that doesn't linger. Worth the cooler space.
Brookvale Amber moved twelve units in two hours
Friday afternoon rush cleared the middle shelf faster than expected. Worth noting for next week's order.
Fieldstone Kölsch is back and the team is thrilled
We just unpacked eighteen cases of Fieldstone Kölsch — crisp, clean, and exactly what the front cooler needed. This one moves fast, so swing by soon.
Stonegate Pilsner arrived with the wrong IBU on the label
Brewery printed 28 IBU. My palate says 31, maybe 32. We opened six bottles to confirm.
Tallgrass Helles arrived at 18 IBU, not 19
The spec sheet said 19. The liquid says otherwise. Here's what I'm tasting at eighteen.
Ember Hill Amber measures 22 IBU and tastes like 40
Sometimes the numbers don't match the palate. Ember Hill's malt profile is doing structural work the IBU count doesn't acknowledge.
Cascade Ridge IPA sits at exactly 68 IBU
Not 67, not 69. The brewer confirmed this over email and I have thoughts about the malt bill that got us here.
Four things that didn't move this week
Priya checks the cooler data and finds the stragglers—good beer that somehow stayed put while everything else walked.
A soft apology to the 45 IBU crowd
Dez meant the bitterness scale. The apology is for the paragraph after.
Sunset Pils is a team favorite (I checked)
Mitch tasted it thrice and declared it civic infrastructure.
