It’s Part 2 of DBR’s beer year in review. We’re joined by Oscar, a gassy Boston Terrier, and fellow beer enthusiast Elisha, fresh off a work shift and near comatose. We cast off the bad and focus on the delicious good of 2015. We also take time to do some wild speculating into the year 2016, discussing possible beer trends and our made-up beer innovations of the future. It’s our year in kick-ass beer, 2015.

It’s DBR’s beer year in review. You know the drill; the lowlights, the highlights and some of the things in between. In Part 1, we talk a couple of the worst we had last year, breweries that disappointed, and the Empire (i.e. InBev) that cast its shadow over the beer industry in a big way in 2015. What better way to count down the final hours of 2015 than talking beer and enjoying a crowler of Liquid Riot’s NSFW (DIPA). It’s our year in not so great beer, 2015.

During an evening among friends, I finally broke out my 2012 aged Dark Lord, one of the first “big beers” I ever acquired, and we taste if it was worth the time and expense. I also happened to have a 2012 Mephistopheles chilled for that evening, so we pop it to compare these two big Russian Imperials and get a better perspective on the Dark Lord hype.
I’m joined on this 20 minute odyssey by my brother, Ryan, and our friend Tom from Pints of Interest fame, a beer novice Josh, and regular DBRcast member Chris.

We blind beer taste 13 Hefeweizens and Wits, yes f’in 13, to see which one reigns supreme. Equipment (i.e. user) malfunction cut off the tasting portion, so we just have the results. Seems to work better this way and probably how we’ll handle it going forward.
So listen up as we get competitive to see who brought the best/worst Hefeweizens of the showdown! We also inadvertently include a duplicate, which makes for interesting results. Once we crown the hefe beer champ, we also factor in the cost to determine the best beer for your buck. For a list of everything we drank, we refer to them by name and number, see the full post below.

We take a break from blind beer drinking to do a straight review of iNTaNGiBLes’s Acidulated Hive, followed by a discussion on inflated beer prices and a controversial Facebook post concerning Al of Hampden defending the price of Pizza Boy’s sours. Don’t bother looking for it, the Facebook post mysteriously vanished the next day…
We finish by sipping on Revolution Brewing’s Bene Gene, a coffee and bourbon barrel-aged take on their Eugene porter. It took us six months to finally drink it, so was it worth the wait?
