Brewery Saint X does, by the way, recognize its surroundings with a cocktail program better than any I’ve ever seen at a brewery, and the food is both a celebration of New Orleans and a selection of excellent accompaniments to their Czech-style dark lager, helles lager, West Coast IPA, and best bitter on cask.”

Made with a homemade lavender vodka lemonade and a Hazy IPA, my On the Flip Side is a light spring cocktail that’s perfect to sip on as the weather starts to warm up.

Boatswain American IPA The text adorning Trader Joes Boatswain IPA is pretty vague, but maybe thats intentional.

The citra-hopped double IPA worked well with the serving method, accentuating the beers tropical and piney notes. This is a group of drinkers, but hardly connoisseurs, and definitely not beer geeks.

Voodoo Ranger Atomic Pumpkin Given that the Voodoo Ranger family of IPAs is almost entirely made up of absolute sugar bombs, we were expecting more of the same with Atomic Pumpkin. We wouldn’t recommend committing to a whole case of Atomic Pumpkin, but it’s definitely a fun brew to try this season.
