3-Point Beer Review: STŘÍZLÍK Czech Pale Lager from Wren House
From Wren House: One of our favorite session beers returns, this time with a couple of improvements. Střízlík is a 10 degree Czech Style Pale Lager that uses premium Czech ingredients, like 100% Whole Cone Czech Saaz hops to create a simple yet beautifully flavorful and zippy, little beer. Střízlík begins as a a 10 degree Plato pale lager built up exclusively with 100% Floor Malted Bohemian Pilsner Malt that undergoes a decoction mash to bring out this malt’s full range of ba

Moto Sonora Releases Gluten-Reduced West Coast IPA
Gluten Reduced WCIPA! Pretty cool to see some gluten reduced options for a fully hopped WCIPA. I often wondered how they achieve this result. According to White Labs: To brew a gluten-reduced IPA, use traditional barley or wheat malts, then add a proline-specific enzyme like White Labs Clarity Ferm (also known as Brewers Clarex) during yeast pitching. This enzyme cleaves the gluten proteins, safely reducing gluten levels below 20 ppm without altering your IPA's flavor or hop

3 Point Beer Review: Picketpost Pilsner
Wow, this one really was impressive. Had a massive head of foam that I could float a quarter on (thanks to a proper pour), very reminiscent of Slow Pour Pils by Bierstadt. Plus it was carbonated to a high level, making it quite refreshing. It was fun to watch the bubbles aggressively rise in the glass. The aroma matched the flavor - Saphir hops (floral, spicy, citrus) plus French Aramis hops (herbal, citrus, spicy). The overall experience was similar to Firestone Walker

Arizona Wilderness partners with K4 Ranch
From AZ Wilderness Brewing: We spend a lot of time thinking about where our food comes from. Not just how it tastes, but who raised it, where it was grown, and what it means to support the land systems of Arizona. That’s what has led us to @k4ranches . Representing a seven-generation Arizona ranching family, K4 Ranch has been raising cattle across millions of acres near Prescott, AZ since the 1800’s. Over the years, K4 has built a premier Angus-based cowherd through the use o

Happy 11 Year Anniversary Wren House!
One of my absolute favorite breweries in AZ is celebrating their 11 year Anniversary. So glad you guys are here keep up the good work! They released 3 awesome beers for the occasion (plus a few more not listed here) FOAMER Foamer is our idea of a hazy DIPA with the volume turned up. Brewed with our pals @outerrangebrewingco it’s built on a softer, less attenuated base and hopped at an elevated rate. Foamer lands chewier, fuller-bodied, and packed with saturated hop character
