Neonraptor Brewing Co – Carol!, IPA (6.6% ABV
Hello, and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, The can art and name apparently refer to a streaming show Mythic Quest (Carol in HR) but as Midge Ure famously sung ‘this means nothing to me.’ Still Carol is a name associated with Christmas so that’s good enough for me. Intense explosion of hops on theContinue reading “Neonraptor Brewing Co – Carol!, IPA (6.6% ABV”

North Brewing Co X Neonraptor Brewing Co – Imperial Stout (8.5% ABV)
Hello, and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, An imperial stout but with added cacao (husks and nibs), peanuts and banana, so there’s a lot going on flavour wise here.

Complex and multi-layeredContinue reading “North Brewing Co X Neonraptor Brewing Co – Imperial Stout (8.5% ABV)”
Tartarus Beers x Amity Brew Co x The Disappearing Chin – Azeban Imperial Strawberry and Vanilla Milkshake IPA (8.0% ABV)
Hello, and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists, As we have come to except the can art is superb as well as being slightly bizarre; this one being a like a demonic raccoon that is covered with feathers. As the can says, “scan this code to learn the tale.” Apparently in Abenaki mythology Azeban isContinue reading “Tartarus Beers x Amity Brew Co x The Disappearing Chin – Azeban Imperial Strawberry and Vanilla Milkshake IPA (8.0% ABV)”
