  • Garrison Brewing Hop Yard Ale

    Garrison Brewing Hop Yard Ale

    We try the year round Hop Yard Ale, which is dry hopped as compared to their seasonal 3 Fields Harvest. The big difference between the two is how this one is what I would consider a very hoppy, almost a hop bomb. However, if you are a fan of IPA, this might appeal to you.…

  • Propeller Double IPA

    Propeller Double IPA

    This is a NICE complex brew where the booze doesn’t bite you in the face. It’s not really a hopbomb as compared to some ofthe other IPA’s we’ve had.  We’ve found  this to be a great one to try and find some flavors other than hops.
