For those of you who are new to all of this the "Bitter Brawl" is a super fun beer tasting class with lots of audience participation. We try six different pale ales and IPA's and duke it out with each other as to which is the best example of each. Ultimatley we end up with one best of show.

Alvey & Sean. Sierra Nevada - Wet Hop Harvest Ale Absolutely Soaking Wet Hops! Created in 1996, Harvest Ale features Cascade and Centennial hops from the Yakima Valley in Eastern Washington. These hops are harvested and shipped as "wet" un-dried hops-the same day they are picked-to our brewery in Chico where our brewers eagerly wait to get them into the brew kettle while their oils and resins are still at their peak. 6.7% ABV Wet Hop Sierra Nevada <http://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/34.jpg?a=11022 87074118> On the shelves at The Firkins right now! Boulevard Brewing - Saison with Brett Smokestack series # 5 Boulevard is really going to TOWN these days, pulling out ALL the stops with this Smokestack series of theirs. The latest offering is a small batch release of a Saison with Brett ( read - funky wild yeast ! ). Saisonbrett <http://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/35.jpg?a=11022 87074118> On the shelves right now! Cantillon Iris Very rare beer! Iris is made in the style of lambic - fermented by wild yeasts and aged in oak wine casks at the brewery - but with a couple of big differences. First, it is made entirely from malted barley, whereas traditional lambic uses one third unmalted wheat. In addition, the brewery has used fresh Hallertau hops in the boil and for dry-hopping the Iris. (Traditional lambic calls for hops that have been aged for several years, which impart virtually no hop flavor to the finished product.) Iris is a rare and unusual treat to thrill the connoisseur of traditional Belgian beers - absolutely, utterly unique. CantillonIris <http://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/36.jpg?a=11022 87074118> Needless to say, we don't have many of these.... Bells Brewing - Hell Hath No Fury! American "Dubbel" A brew that gives you either sympathy for the devil or the courage to face him. Goes especially well with your favorite lost my girl/truck/dog/trailer song. 7.7 % ABV this is a very small batch from Bells, it'll only be around for a few weeks, it's a huge beer, malty and complex. Absolutely worth a try.
