I have to confess. I’m a hop junky. Ever since I got hooked on the little, lupulin filled green cones it’s like I can’t get enough. In fact it’s hard for me to genuinely remember what I was thinking the first time I tasted an IPA and thought, “Man this is bitter.”...

2011 Vintage: The last in the Demon Series of Ales by Avery. Complete damnation! Similar to Noel’s review of The Beast, I got owned by this beer. Coming in at an alcohol level which rivaled that of BrewDog’s intense beers, Mephistopheles packs more...
