Drinking Buddies Beer Review

Pad Thai inspired brown ale Thai Peanut from Right Brain Brewery. Smooth amber, light caramel body quickly gets overpowered with, not peanut butter but actual peanut dust flavor. The chili heat is present, this might be the hottest beer ive tasted, and ive had some hot chili pepper stouts. Try it once, try it in a flight, a pint is too much. 3.6/5

Who's ready for a new KBS flavor? KBS Chocolate Cherry is here!

The rich sweetness of chocolate and slight coffee bitterness blend perfectly with the brightness of cherry juice to bring you an alluring sensory experience. It's not overly sweet and stays true to the original KBS coming in at 11.6% ABV. Come on down to either taproom on January 27 during Cellar Raid to get your first pour or find it on store shelves in February.

Ancho chili orange double chocolate porter by Brewery Terra Firma. Great pepper flavor without the heat, pretty smokey(side note, where did smoked porters go!?), slightly brighter than the non chocolate version. I mean, wowsers. Its deep, its dark, and its sexy.

// 🥞 LOOSE TALK 🥞 // 4.9% ABV - Session Stout with Maple Syrup.

It’s Friday, so we decided to toss an experimental batch of a new session stout on the draft lines for the weekend, and this beer pairs perfectly with this weekend’s weather!

Loose Talk is a small session stout brewed with oats, wheat and some delicious character malt for depth of flavor, and conditioned on Maple Syrup. Light enough to crush, with loads of flavor!

Stop down and try one today!

IS IT CAKE?
Chocolate Stout

"Decadent, rich, and cascading chocolate flavors from the use of Chocolate Malt, raw Cacao Nibs, Choloca, and chocolate cake/frosting. This full bodied "pastry" stout will have you questioning, is it cake?"

👀 Let the sneak peeks begin! Introducing our Journey Series Barrel Bash 2022 brews. These two beers will be joining the list of pub-exclusive releases available in our stores and on draft.

✨ Batch 100: When it came time to brew the 100th batch on our pub brewhouse in Grand Rapids, our brewers decided to go big — making an imperial stout that was aged in Zeppelin Bend Whiskey barrels on cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans. Now we are bottling that beer for the first time as the result of our 2021 Fan Vote!

✨ Boss Battle: Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Pastry Stout with Cinnamon, Ginger, Cloves, Cardamom, Nutmeg, Nutella, and Milk Sugar.

Come on down to Barrel Bash November 18th-27th to get your hands on these while they last, cheers! 🍻
