Tulip Beer Reviews
The tulip glass is a glass that’s shaped like a tulip. But seriously: the tulip is one of the most aesthetic beer vessels on the shelf. It focuses the eye and the nose, capturing flavor and aroma while also maintaining a big foamy head.

Honeymoon Saison is an ironic choice tonight, because my wife left me. Okay, yes, she’ll be back in four days, but even so, ironic. The latest offering in Summit’s unchained lineup, batch 07, was made just in time to be ready for brewer Sam Doniach’s wedding, thus the...

Stick a fork in me. I’m throwing down my weapons. Waving the white flag. Laying down under the bus. Alright already; I’m done. I surrender. This beer owned me. From first pour to last sip, it was utterly dominant … The Empire Strikes Back dominant. It beat me into...
