Founders Devil Dancer Triple IPA

Fresh (2010):  $22.99 for a 4 pack, but I would argue that Devil Dancer is worth it.  You can enjoy one, age one, sell one, and share one.  I was on my screen porch when I cracked the bottle open and poured.  Even with a mild breeze outside all I could smell was a...

Broo Doo, a beer that I’ve passed over the last couple years. Maybe it was due to the flamboyant/tripping label art which included a troll (with hops for hair), a rainbow, a princess, and a unicorn. Whatever my reason, I have definitely been missing out. When...

Founders Harvest Ale

Riding the wave of fresh hop harvest beers, I obtained a 4 pack of this gem. Known for brewing quality beers Founders on one of the few breweries I’ll return to when I’m not sampling/reviewing a “new” brew. As you can see the label art is top notch with amazing colors...

Port Brewing High Tide IPA
