DC Brau – On the Wings of Armageddon Review

Posted on by Drews Brews Reviews

WingsAll You Need to Know

Brewery: DC Brau Brewing
Style: Imperial IPA/ DIPA
ABV: 9.2%
Cost: $7 (10 oz)
Glassware: Snifter, Tulip
Serving Temp: 55°
Availability: Quarterly Release
Purchased@: Bulls Head Pub

Quick Take: This is a great IPA and one worth trying when encountered in the wild, but any comparisons to Heady Topper, which I have heard on a few occasions, should really be kicked aside. Wings isn’t rewriting the book on DIPAs, but damn if it’s not a delicious IPA that I will welcome into my mouth any time. I look forward to slamming this in the future whenever I see it, but I wouldn’t go to extraordinary lengths to get it.

This is a follow up to the previous episode and features my fellow beer hunter, Chris. Two opinions are better than one, so here is another take on the same beer. This isn’t meant as a full-fledged review but as a way to feature a different palate than mine and give you a fullerer (new word!) perspective on the beer.

Episode 9 – Stone – Grapefruit Slam IPA

Episode 9 of Drew’s Brews Reviews is here! The beer review show you never knew you wanted and no one needs. I slam down a beer that you’ve probably already had a few months ago! This is my first ep back after a lengthy illness and taking some time off to develop a Drew’s Brews Reviews Web site, but damn if I’m not ready to get slammed again. This time, instead of hops, it’s Stone’s Grapefruit Slam IPA that crushes my palate. Yeah, it’s another Stone but they seem to release a brand new beer a week and they’re cheap. Anyway, this is part of Stone’s new Stochasticity Project and I look forward to whatever they come up with for the next release.

Episode 5 – Stone – Enjoy By 02.14.14

Posted on by Drews Brews Reviews

Episode 5 of Drew’s Brews Reviews is here! The beer review show you never knew you wanted and no one needs. It’s another new brew from Stone because this one’s got a timer on it. I reviewed this as soon as I could as Enjoy By 02.14.14 will hop-splode if not reduced to liver juice by the given date. Beers not named Heddy Topper can’t get any fresher, so I see if brewery to mouth in only a few days is the future of IPAs.
